i just finished my invitations adn i noticed the

tissue paper in a little pack
what the hell is this???????????????????????
where does it go????????
do i need to put it in each envelope?

ok thanks!!!
i just have like 15 more to put together and im done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we were sitting on the couch putting them together and thats when it really hit me that we're getting married and the wedding is 78 days away
omg!!!!!!!
im nutz! i think im dilusional!

i didn't use it. they really aren't important these days. they used to be put between the invite and the envelope to prevent smudging of the ink... which doesn't really happen anymore.

if you're done putting them together, don't bother putting the pieces in all of them.

O M G...can you tell my mom that then? Everytime we talk invites she says 'make sure the tissue paper is included.'

The tissue paper is an old fashioned traditional thing that has just stuck around over the years, like the double envelopes (inner and outer envelopes).

The reason it came into existence is that when invitations were originally printed on printing presses, the ink was still wet when it came off the press. The used the tissue paper to blot the ink, so they could stack another invite on top of it without getting the back of the next invite dirty.

If you do use it, it goes over the printed part of the invitation ... and then the enclosures go on top of that.

If you don't send it with the invitations, I hear its good for cleaning your ring
