Invitations

Hi ladies,

I received my invitations in the mail. They come with the inner envelope, which I did not have lined so it's just plain envelope. I've been thinking about not using the envelope at all and just using the outer one.

I've been told that the inner envelopes are far and few between now and a lot of invitations don't even come with them anymore.

I just want to know what you guys think. TIA!

Re: Invitations

just think about whether you will need the inner envelope for guests. The inner envelope is used to write the names of everyone invited. For example if you are sending it to a person and guest, you dont write and guest on the outer envelope, you write 'ms. smith' and on the inner envelope you write ms. cathy smith and guest. If you are sending it to a family its the same thing, you dont write and family on the outer envelope but instead you write Mr and Mrs smith on the outside and then on the inside you list all the family members in that household that you are inviting. If you will need to do this for any guests then i personally would use the inner envelope for this purpose. If you dont really need this i guess you can do without if you really want. BUt i always receive invitations with outer and inner envelope so don't know why someone said its far and between now

If you want to just use the outer envelope, I think that's fine. I had lined ones so I just used them but didn't even write on them because it would have taken too much time which I didn't have. I don't think the inner envelope is really necessary.

A lot of high end invitation companies dont do inner envelopes unless you want them, so you can get away with not including them but you will have to address them differently.

we are only doing outer envelopes.
