How to Assemble a Wedding Invitation in 6 Easy Steps

Are you looking at those boxes of your wedding invitations and telling yourself that you need to send them out? You just don’t know where to start. Well here are the steps to assembling a proper wedding invitation:

Step 1: Lay your wedding invitation down with the wording facing up.

Step 2: Place your reception card or order of service card, wording side up, on top of the invitation. If you have a wrap included in the invitation, place under the wrap. 


Step 3: Tuck your response card, wording side up, under its envelope flap and place on top of the reception card.

Step 4: Repeat this process for all other enclosure cards like direction cards and accommodation cards.


Step 5: Place your invitation suite (all wording should face up) inside the inner envelope. Wondering what your inner envelope is for?


Step 6: Place your inner envelope inside the outer mailing envelope with the front of the inner envelope facing you.

Just a little added tip for when you start the addressing process. Make a spreadsheet that includes all your guest list in alphabetical order. Also have slots for the following:
  • Name
  • Address
  • Invitation 
  • Addressed 
  • Sent 
  • RSVP
  • Gift
  • Thank You Note
This spreadsheet will help you before and after the wedding!
