There they are, stacks and stacks of wedding invitations. Put all those pristine pieces of paper together by following these seven simple steps to invitation insertions.
Place the tissue paper on top of the invitation lettering. (A tasteful tradition from a time, long ago, when ink might smudge.)
Lay the reception card on top of the tissue.
Place the reception card on top of the tissue.
Place any other inserts on top of the reception card according to their size. Slip this whole enclosure ensemble into an ungummed envelope. Make sure that the text is facing the flap.
Write the guests' names on the ungummed envelope face.
Insert the ungummed envelope into an outer gummed envelope. Make sure the names you just inscribed face the outer envelope flap.
Address the outer envelope face (in black ink), seal it, and then go to the post office.
The Number 1 mistake made when addressing invitations is when the phrase "and Guest" is used. You should make a genuine effort to find out the name of who your cousin Mary Smith is bringing to your ceremony and reception so that person's name can be put on the invitation envelope and reception place card. People do not like being referred to as "and Guest."
Miss Mary Smith
Mr. John Davidson
