E-mail VS Standard Mail for your Wedding Invitations What's right for you.
Some people like things that they can touch (and keep)
People like to be able to touch and feel things and hold them in their hands. People like to use all of their senses wherever possible. Printed wedding invites are also popular for their keepsake value; family and friends will often treasure a wedding invite from their loved ones.
Wedding invitations can show status and effort
Couples want their wedding to be a special day and it is often a way for the bride and groom to express themselves too. A luxury wedding invitation mailed or delivered by hand can show the effort and love you put into your wedding day.
Not everyone’s online yet
Not everyone has a computer so getting your virtual wedding invite to your elderly relatives in particular may not practical! A good old fashioned paper invite sent via standaed mail would be the best option.
Why Consider Sending Email Wedding Invitations?
They save LOTs of time!
Think about the time it takes to address envelopes and stuff them (not to mention sticking stamps.) Also, I found that it was WAY easier to collect my guests’ email addresses, as opposed to their snail mail addresses. Plus you don’t have to worry about them getting lost, misplaced or delayed in the mail!
They save trees, oil and fuel
No I don’t know exactly how much of each product it takes for all the world’s couples to get married each year, but between wedding cards, envelopes, RSVP cards, RSVP envelopes, and anything else stuffed inside envelopes – It’s has to be a lot
They can help save your budget
The postage alone for 300 invitations and RSVP reply cards costs upward of $300. Plus the average couple in the US spends between $650-850 on the actual invitations. That’s a lot of budget that could go towards food, wine and music. Not to mention the trees, oil and fuel you help save
They offer instant RSVP Gratification
You can instantly see who had opened them and who had RSVPed.
They are convenient for your guests
With email wedding invitations and a wedding website, guests have all the information they need at their fingertips and can easily RSVP for themselves and anyone else in their party. Plus they can access the information at any time on a computer or smart phone, or they can decide whether to print anything out and stick it on the wall or carry it with them.
Email wedding invitations aren’t right for every couple, but they can make a statement. They say, “we’re modern, smart and savvy and I care about making my wedding fun and easy for my guests to attend.”
In the end, whether it’s traditional, modern or modern-traditional, what matters most is that you the couple, have the wedding you desire! The best advice anyone can offer is don’t worry to much about tradition and etiquette; as they are changing everyday rather, spend time planning the wedding of your dreams and maybe make some New Traditions of your own along your way down the winding road that leads to becoming Husband and Wife.
Happy Planning to you
Sincerely,
Terry

Wedding invitations have been sent by mail or in person for centuries. There’s always a real thrill about receiving an envelope that isn’t just a promotional letter or bill, so people will wait in anticipation to get an invitation to an upcoming wedding!
