Now that your've gotten your wedding invitations addressed and ready to go, what's the best way to fit it all into the envelope? Packaging up the invitation and it's extras can be as confusing and time-consuming as everything else you have done for your wedding....here is a method that should make things easier for you:
1. Place the response card face-up under the flap of the response card envelope.
2. Place a small piece of tissue paper over the lettering of the invitation.
3. Put any extra enclosures (reception cards, maps, directions. and so on) inside the invitation. Put the response card and envelope inside the invitation as well. The lettering should be facing upward.
4. Place the invitation inside the inner envelope with the lettering facing the back flap. Don't seal this envelope. (The inner envelope isn not typically gummed anyway.)
5. Put the inner envelope inside the outer envelope. Again, the writing on the inner envelope should face the flap of the outer envelope.
6. Seal the outer envelope. Make sure the envelope is properly addressed and contains your return address. Stamp and mail.
Hint: Instead of wearing out your tongue purchase a water applicator wand (with sponge) from an office supply store. These are very cheap and well worth the cost.
