Girls NOT doing inner envelopes

Did you just seal your envelopes, or did you use the little square of tissue paper?

Does is look bad just sealing the outer envelope and not doing the inner or the tissue paper?

i dont think you would need the tissue paper. we are doing pockets (no inner envelope) and i dont think we are using the tissue paper.

this

I just thought about this now, a day after I submitted my final payment to *her* and didn't really think about doing either until I got a wedding invite in the mail today that had both.

I am fine leaving it as it, just wanted sure if it would look bad.

Thanks girls!

i know i asked this before but i forgot, what's the purpose of inner envelopes? B/c i just sent my materials fee to her and now i'm wondering if I need to get them. I have pocketfolds

I don't think you need them with pocketfolds..well you never NEED them, but it's less with pocketfolds.

The Inner envelope serves 2 purposes

1) It's a clean keepsake envelope. The outer one will get messed up in the mail, so the inner one will stay nice. ETA: If using 2 envelopes, the inner envelope is the one that is lined.

2) You can address the inner envelope to show exactly who is invited. It can add the 'And guest', which by strict old-school etiquette should not be on the outer envelope. You can also show exactly who is invited in a family.

ETA: I was not going to do liners, inner envelopes, or inner envelope addressing, but ended up adding all of the above.

Thanks for the explanation.

I didn't do the inner envelope or the tissue paper. I think it was fine, I got a lot of compliments on my invites

Ahhh thank you for the detailed explanation. Does she charge a lot for them?

It ended up not being a big difference in price.

The envelope itself is .25
The DIY liner is .15 (There's an extra charge if you want her to put them in, but we're saving some $$ and doing it ourselves)
The inner addressing is .25

So it's like an extra 65 cents per invitation, which we didn't think was a lot of money considering that it adds not only a little extra elegance, but also an extra degree of clarity regarding who is invited.

didnt even think about this- but def not going to do tissue paper unless 1. someone else stuffs it and 2. it comes for free. LOL not worth it to me.

Tissue paper is a throwback anyway. It was to keep the ink from running
