HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR INVITATION PIECES

When assembling your ensemble keep all lettering facing the same direction.  If the enclosure cards are wider than the invitation they should be turned counter clockwise so the top of the enclosure card is against the left side of the invitation.

After the invitation is folded, place the tissue over the verse, regardless if the verse is inside a fold or on the front of the invitation.

The reception card is placed on top of the tissue.

The map card is placed on top of the reception card.

The response card should be tucked under the flap of the stamped response envelope then placed on top of the map card.

The ensemble is now inserted into the inner envelope with the printing up facing you.

The inner envelope is then flipped over and inserted into the outer envelope so your guests' names are facing up when you slide it in.

Seal the outer envelope.

Apply first-class postage.  Invitation mailings, when fully assembled, often require additional postage. Be sure to take two or three completely assembled invitations to your post office to determine the proper postage.

Mail out-of-state invitations eight weeks before the wedding and include any necessary travel information.

Mail the rest of your invitations six weeks before the wedding.

Now, you can look forward to receiving responses and begin to get excited!

Congratulations!  You did it!
