No garland-Prelit tree then decorate with assorted items on it ..
We don't use tinsel either as our avatar is a floor eater and I could see her eating that (she has tried to eat yarn !!)

It depends on the garland. I have a garland of little wrapped presents that I like to put on after the lights but before the ornaments. If it is the fuzzy tinsel kind, I like that last so it drapes nicely on the ends of the boughs.
Who still puts tinsel on their tree? I stopped once we got an artificial trees because it is a pain to take it all off before storing the tree. Do they even still make tinsel?

I put my garland on last, and still put tinsel on my artificial tree.
I vacuum it off before I put the tree away.

Pre-lit tree, angel on top, garlands of beads (new ones hard to find in my area, so add very carefully!), ornaments, candy canes, then tinsel, lots of tinsel! Found silver tinsel at walMart , and some beautiful gold wavy tinsel at the dollar store. Actually, I still call tinsel icicles.

I use beautiful Christmas ribbon (wide, on sale) and I cut into 20" pieces (Oh, also wire). I then pinch the two ends and stuff the ends into the tree in such a way that the ribbon appears to go in and out of the bows like a single piece. Easy, fast, pretty and you can keep them for next year.
