Placement of Wedding Invite in Envelope

I doubt that most people would even notice this, and if they did, I doubt they would care. I wouldn't worry about it

I don’t think anyone will notice or care. Sometimes there’s websites can get to your head. Take a deep breath and relax, it’s all okay ♥️

Most people won’t notice or care.

Honestly, they won't notice or care. This definitely isn't something you need to worry about. Don't sweat the small stuff - and this is definitely small stuff!

Thanks guys, this is already making me feel better. I am just so disappointed because I spent so much time on them to make sure they were done correctly, and then learned of this rule. Thanks so much for your feedback

I feel like this is a super minor detail. I wouldn’t stress it too much. It might be something you can look back on and laugh about later, but definitely don’t be so hard on yourself! It’s not like they can’t just flip it over and see the invite anyway so I think you’re good

Hi!! I can attest I recently got 3 invitations to weddings and couldn’t tell you how they were placed in the envelopes. I opened them in such a hurry from excitement and didn’t give a second thought ❤️

Who cares? I put a letter opener in at a corner, open the envelope. Put opener down. Then reach in and pull stuff straight out if I see print, or turning my hand so that what was facing back now faces front.
Do people really care about a turn of their fingers or hand?
Don't worry about trivia like this, it will make you nuts, to no good purpose! 🤭My mother in law and an aunt of the groommade hubby's sister when taping up of graduation cards, and MIL said it was 2 days to graduation, tassels this way, and the other said, no one will arrive to see them until after graduation, so turn them to graduated.🤭

Thanks Judith! Mine were large envelopes closed by a sticker, so you simple pull the flap up and pull the invite out. Since mine would now be backwards, the recipient would have to flip it over. Would you notice this if this was you?

Your response DEF made me feel better.....thank you

I doubt anyone will notice or care. I'm usually so excited to receive a wedding invitation that I remove it immediately from the envelope, and definitely wouldn't even notice which way it was facing

View Quoted Comment As I turned it over I would be looking at the pretty colors and design, not counting movements, same as most.

No one will notice this. at all.

How did you ladies let these little things be and stop overthinking the small things?? I feel if I overthink this invite situation THIS much, I am going to ruin my wedding for myself.

I love hosting and planning so wedding stuff just wasn't a huge stressor for me ever. BUT my advice if you're going to worry about anything, worry about the things that affect everyone. So how the invite is in the envelope may annoy you, but no one will remember or care and invites will get thrown away anyway. Same with flowers, details, dresses, signs, all the "extra" stuff that is nice to have, but other people dont' really focus on.

Focus more energy on things like the food (making sure there's enough, accommodating allergies, flow of the evening), greeting all your guests, having a seat for every person at the ceremony reception, music with mass appeal. By focusing on the things that affect everyone you're sure to have a smooth event that people remember as overall really nice. Everything else is fun and pretty, but really just "nice to have". does that make sense?

As I told the lady the other day who didn't realize till after the fact that she forgot to put stamps on their RSVP cards, I think you're way overthinking this. I'm pretty sure at least half of our invitations were reversed. Anyone who declines to come to your wedding because the invitation was backwards in the envelope wasn't worth inviting in the first place. You've already done the hard part of sending the invitations, and there are plenty of bigger issues you'll have to deal with while you're in the home stretch. Give yourself a break over this one thing.

Most people won’t notice! But I get being worried, you want everything perfect!
I went to high school in the dark ages and all the girls took “secretarial” courses like shorthand, typing, general accounting, etc. my teacher was super strict about business correspondence and I still hear her voice when I put a letter in an envelope “top fold at the top, girls!”
I was in the military and they were picky about only using blue or black ink, and my adult children tell me they hear mu voice “blue or black ink!” when signing anything!

Thanks all!!! You are all right.

I also realized I didn't address invites with "Mr." or "Mrs." but honestly OH WELL. I hope people care that I made this "mistakes".
