There isn't necessarily a difference in paper, if that's what you're asking. You put the cardstock on other cardstock, but the weight of it is entirely up to you.

i would do 1 pannel card and 1 mat

unless you are looking to add a lot of colors you could use 2 mats but then you have to adjust the sizes so you can actually see them under the others.

if you really wanted to you could always just cut the paper to be just wide enough to peek out from under the upper layer. that way there isn't as much wasted paper too

I used sheets of cardstock, 110 lb weight. I think that's the standard weight of cardstock paper at Michaels. If what I'm finding is correct, it's usually 110 lb weight for the mat, and 80 lb for the invitation paper. Personally, I prefer using the cardstock for both.
