Is is normal to put all the invitation pieces in one envelope and themn put THAT envelope inside an outre envelope which has the return address on it and all? I am clueless here, but thats what the company sent me.

KC ... there was a post about this a little while ago.
The inner envelope is actually a very old 'tradition'. It was used in the days when envelopes were handwritten by quills dipped in ink. The inner envelope was used to protect the invitation from any smudging that might occur on the outer envelope during the printing or delivery. The same is true for the tissue that comes with it.
Bottom line, They are not necessary today & it is perfectly acceptable to put your invites into the outer envelope directly, if you don't want to use the inners. We didn't want to spend the extra money on more envelopes ... we were spending enough already!!
