Assembling YOUR INVITATIONS
Traditionally, there is a specific order for assembling invitations for mailing.
With the back of the large envelope and the front of the invitation facing you, put the invitation and it's protective tissue sheet in, folded edge first.
On top of that, put in the reception invitation also facing up.
Last, put in the response card, also printed side up. It should be lying within the flap of the small response envelope (which faces down).
Any other insertions, such as a map or directions, should go in last.
Address the outer envelope and the response envelope by hand. Use calligraphy if possible.
Choose an attractive postage stamp that will complement the overall look of your invitations.
Mail your invitations at least six to eight weeks in advance of your event so that your guests have ample time to make plans to attend.
If you bring your invitations to the post office, you can request that they be hand cancelled that will minimize any unsightly marks or damage caused by machine cancelling.
