Stuffing the Envelopes
Insert the bottom of the announcement or invitation into the envelope first with the printed surface up so that when the envelope is opened, the printed side will be seen first.


The invitation and enclosure cards are placed in the envelope in order of size and importance.The largest enclosure cards are placed closest to the invitation.

When more than one enclosure card of the same size is used, the card that is the most important for your guest to see would be placed closest to the invitation.

Order of pieces layered from bottom to top (printing facing up):

1. Invitation
2. Reply Envelope
3.Reply Card (tucked under reply envelope flap)
4.Reception Card

Any other insertions, such as a map or directions, should go in last.

If you choose to use tissue, place it over the printed text of each item prior to assembling the invitation. Use the largest tissue for the invitations, smaller for the reply cards and other enclosures.

Don't mind me...but I'm confused. Do the insertions go last in the invitation envelope with the invitation (innner envelope) or do they go last in the outter envelope?

just stick those babies in, do people really rip open the envelope and say 'oh um they stuffed it in the wrong order'....

really does it matter?

haha! i know you are right - goodness knows i wouldn't know the difference (obviously) and even if i did i wouldn't care. i just guess i want to make the effort to do it 'right' after what I spent on the darn things (not a fortune but more than what i had hoped).
