Depending on your wedding, the wedding invitations may include enclosures such as reception cards, reply cards, or two envelopes or tissue. The reception card will be useful if your reception will be held at a different location. This card will tell the guests the location and time of the reception. On the other hand, the reply card will be answered by the people whom you are inviting, whether they can attend the wedding or not. This include a stamped and self-addressed envelope or postcard for them to return. You may also include a response card which may indicate a selection of menu for your reception, letting the guests denote their preferences. A second envelope, however, is not necessary and many brides prefer using only one. Tissue are also not necessary, but may be useful in protecting the envelope, especially if the invitations have hard adornments such as charm or decorative brad.
