stuff wedding envelopes
It's interesting:"This wedding really couldn't come at a better time for anyone. Gary will probably be bald by this time next year. And Annabelle's just found out that ..."
Among the long list of things to do before a wedding, addressing and stuffing the invitation envelopes might seem like one of the most daunting and boring tasks of all. Enlist the help of one or two friends if the responsibility feels like too much for you to bear alone. Address envelopes before stuffing as the empty envelopes will provide a smoother surface to write on. Turn on some music, grab a comfortable chair, and dive into the invitation assembly line.

Instructions
1
Place stacks of each invitation piece in an assembly line on a flat, clean surface such as a dining table. Arrange all inner enclosures text side up in the following order: ceremony invitations, tissue paper, reception cards, additional information cards, maps and response cards.
2
Place response envelopes, inner envelopes and outer envelopes flap side up at the end of the assembly line.
3
Set one ceremony invitation in front of you. Open the ceremony invitation if it is a folded card style. Lay tissue paper over the printed text on the invitation if you wish.
4
Place a reception card inside the ceremony invitation for folded cards or on top of the flat ceremony card.
5
Set an additional information card on top of the reception card. An additional information card includes information such as suggested hotels for overnight guests and your wedding website information.
6
Lay a map card on top of the additional information card.
7
Place a response card text side up under the flap of the response envelope. The envelope flap covers the response card text.
8
Set the response envelope with the response card on top of the additional information card. Close the folds of the ceremony invitation, if applicable.
9
Insert the stuffed invitation into an inner envelope so that all text faces the flap side. Close the unsealed inner envelope flap. Do not tuck the flap inside the envelope. Do not seal.
10
Check that guests' names match on the inner and the outer envelopes.
11
Insert the stuffed inner envelope into an outer envelope so that the flaps face the same direction. Seal the outer envelope.
12
Check guests' names off the invitation assembly list to indicate that each guest's invitation was completed.
