So now I feel like I stuffed my invites incorrectly!

I read how they are traditionally supposed to be stuff but it didn't look right to me.

So, I did:

Invite
Reception card
Reply card
and my 3 direction inserts

Invite is on top facing up. I thought it looked better that way since people will open the envelope and see it first.

Traditionally, the invite should be on the bottom and all other inserts on top in size order. But, then it would be:

Reception card
Reply card
3 direction inserts
Invite.

What should I do?

I never have looked before! Also, I didn't do inside envelopes and a girl I know seemed to be appalled by this!

even though i know what 'etiquette' says to do i really never cared much. When i get an invite to a wedding i'm just so excited that i look for the date, time, place and RSVP card! I never pay much attention to the order of the cards..and although i know inner envelopes are supposed to be done i always felt like it was a waste of envelope... so basically i say mail em and don't worry about it!!!!!!!!! If anyone has a problem with the order of your invites tell them the girls on Liweddings say it's the new trend to do it that way and they are out of the loop..lmaoo!!!

The reason they go in size order is so that the smaller pieces don't fall out when you take the whole thing out. But most of the time, when I receive an invite, i pull out the invite first and leave the little pieces in until later. So I wouldn't worry too much.
