I bought a do it yourself wedding invitation kit from a store and am making them myself. A package of tissue/parshment paper came with them and I don't know how to use them. I like them, I just want to use them in the proper maner.

Sorry, you're right. The information has been added back in but I'll paste it here for you: Assembling Invitations

You may have a number of enclosures, with which you will need to ‘stuff’ your envelopes—separate reception invitations, response cards, maps, at-home cards, etc. Lay everything out in the order in which each will be placed into the envelope, making sure that you have the same amount of each item.

Enclosures can be placed on top of or inside of the traditional engraved double sheet invitation, which folds like a book with the printing on top. With the multi-fold invitation in which the printing is on the inside, the enclosures are placed inside the first fold. All enclosures would be placed facing the back flap of the envelope on top of the invitation, so the guest can read each as she opens the invitation—most important on the bottom to least important on top. For example: [ul] [li]Invitation [li]Tissue, if used [li]Reception invitation [li]Response card [/li][/ul]

Note [ul] [li]Usually the tissue paper is thrown away. [li]Response envelope is placed behind the response card, printing of the names facing up toward the back of the outer envelope. [li]If there are other enclosures such as maps, at-home cards, or name cards, these are placed in order of size inside the envelope. [li]If using an inner envelope, the printing would be facing the back of the outer envelope. [/li][/ul]
