I'm assembling my invitations now... Obviously I seal the outer envelopes, but do I seal the inner envelopes containing the actual invitation cards? Or do i close the flap but leave it unsealed?

I don't think you have to seal the inner envelopes, at least not in a traditional "glue on the flap" way. I remember when I sent out graduation announcements, the inner envelopes didn't have adhesive on them, but there were stickers to seal them shut. Maybe you could find some sort of monogram seal for the inner envelopes? Otherwise I'd just leave them open. Also I'm a sucker for hanging onto things for keepsakes, and I'd rather have a pretty, unripped envelope to keep.

Thanks! I'd thought the same thing, about not wanting the inner envelope ripped up :)

You leave it unsealed, that is why there is no glue on the flap.

The inner envelope should be unsealed - that way it does stay nice. It goes in the outer envelope with the names facing to the rear - so that when they open the outer envelope and pull out the inner envelope, they see the front side. So the unsealed flap is against the inside of the front of the outer envelope (if that makes sense...) and it doesn't matter that it's not sealed - it is held closed.
