The proper order to assemble the wedding invitations in the traditional way is as follows:

• Place the invitation inside the large envelope along with its protective tissue and make certain that the invitation is facing you.
• Place the reception invitation on top of the invitation, also facing you.
• Position the response card, facing you, inside the flap of the response envelope, which is facing down. (The response card is facing you and the response envelope is facing down.)
• The last to go in are the directions or map which guides the guests.
• When addressing the outer envelope, it is best that you use calligraphy.
• For an added touch, choose a postage stamp that well compliments the general appearance of your invitation.

After assembling your wedding invitations, if possible, bring your invitations to the post office and ask that they be hand cancelled, to avoid unattractive marks or scratches that machine cancelling can cause.
