E-Invite or Not…

The thought of sending an e-invitation can be alluring, especially when you are looking to cut down on expenses. In the age of Evite and Facebook, many do not feel the need to send printed wedding invitations anymore. If your guests can get accustomed to an online wedding gift registry, then a wedding invitation through e-mail won’t be very difficult to digest either. Are traditional/paper invitations really necessary? Let’s find out by checking the pros and cons of sending your invitation as an e-mail.


E-invite pros:

E-invitations are definitely a modern way of passing on the announcement of your marriage to family and friends. With the click of a button, your e-mail can reach the whole bunch you are planning on inviting, in a matter of seconds. Like traditional cards, e-invitations can also be personalized to suit your wedding theme. You can also upload photos and include useful information like road maps. These invitations also come with an online RSVP for your guests to respond immediately. By sending an e-card, you can save a lot of money and also save a tree.



E-invite cons:


Older invitees would not be internet savvy. Apart from reading your card, they would not be able to RSVP either. Another draw back of inviting people through e-mail is that your mail can easily turn into spam. Sending an e-mail doesn’t make the guest feel that the occasion they are invited to is special. (That’s because, an e-invite mostly gives a casual feel.) Above all, e-invitations can’t act as keep sakes.

Even if you are trying to reduce costs, I’m sure you still want your wedding to be special and viewed as a special occasion by others.
