We love the Internet and thanks to wifi and smartphones we're used to having access to it wherever we go
. Sure we're a touch addicted, but it's not all bad. Thanks to communication via the net we are able to cut down on our use of paper and mail services, but should some things remain sacred? Like sending out traditional wedding invitations in the post.
I'm sure you must have received at least one email wedding invitation from friends or relatives. I can't speak for everyone, but I prefer it, for a number of reasons.
Email wedding invitations are fun, fast, cool and much easier to respond to. Spare me the standard issue traditional wedding invite with hackneyed phrases and graphics. And spare me the hassle of posting back an RSVP. Instead give me something that pops up in my in box with a simple link to RSVP. How much easier is that?
Email wedding invitations are much more fun and much more personal. You can choose your own wording and even add music or a graphical presentation to surprise and delight your guests. Forget traditional invites. Put your own together and email them out. Save on postage costs and do your little bit for the environment.
There are plenty of reputable sites out there that allow you to design and distribute customised email wedding invitations. Think carefully about the format you use. Pop ups may incur the wrath of spam filters and are best avoided. Make sure your invite comes complete with a print option. People will want hard copy with instructions and directions to take along with them on the big day.
Finally consider less tech savvy guests. Your hip young friends and colleagues will have no problem with email, Great Auntie Doris might be another story entirely..
