Weddings/tissue

Question
I was courious as to why do we have to put the tissue paper in our invitations? The place that I bought mine have no idea as to why it is there just to put it in.
Hi Sonya the reason to use it now is tradition. Many years ago when invitations were printed the ink that was used did not completely dry or at least in time. There would be an imprint on the inside back cover of the invitation. The printing industry decided to put the tissue over the words so this wouldn't happen. The ink used today is totaly dry before you recieve it so the tissue isn't even needed but many companied still include it as tradition with some people saying it is formal. I'm not really sure some of those people know the real reason it was there in the first place. At least you know the real answer now.
