Paperless Wedding Invitations

I say no cause not everyone has an email or even checks it that often

We received an email invitation once and missed the wedding. We clicked on it once and then had the date mixed up. Our fault, yes, but I think it is important to have something tangible on hand for your guests to reference. I personally would not (and did not) go searching thru old emails for info.

If you're looking to decrease headaches for you, this is not the way to go. I hardly ever look at my personal e-mail.

It really depends on your wedding and guest list. I think it can work if your wedding is small and informal. It needs to be small enough that you can casually mention the evite to people who haven't opened it after a few days. And informal because your invitations really do set the tone for your wedding. People typically use the invitation to figure out how to dress and what to expect at the wedding.

I think they are nice but I like the formality of an invitation in the mail. Overall I think it sets the tone of the wedding. I do however have some super eco-friendly friends and it would kill them to mail invitations from an environmental standpoint. It's always how they've been though so an e-vita would not surprise me as it's their life cause.

Send a physical invite. I got an evite to a bachelorette party and it went to my spam folder, and the only reason I found out about it was when the MOH called me asking me why I hadn't RSVP'd. I can't imagine how many people you'd have to track down because of something like that.

I think you should send a real invitation and compromise by using the online RSVP function offered here.

Everyone I know puts invites on their fridge. It's a good reminder. I also think people love getting real mail. An email invite to the most expensive party of your life just seems....lame.

If you like it and you feel comfortable with it, do it. I don't think it's a big deal at all. Yes, it may decrease the formality some so you need to be ok with that but I don't think it's a big deal in this day and age

I'm known for accidentally deleting emails, so I'd worry about that.

I think it's a little less formal but if you explain clearly that you are trying to have a green wedding, people won't read much into it in terms formality. They will just think reducing waste is a major priority for you and, in my circles at least, respect you for that. But if you did this and then had tons of plastic cups and cutlery at your wedding, not sending physical invites would just look cheap.

People might think it's weird but then they'll get over it and forget. You could try using recycled paper if you decide to send a physical invite. My wedding will be small so we just told everyone when it was and I'm sending out invites that I bought from Target just as a reminder for their fridge. It also has a link to my wedding website. I get what you mean about wanting to go green though. Because of that alone, I don't think an evite is a bad idea.

I like the invite its pretty...but its ..Half Past five in the evening not half past 5pm in the evening and does everyone check their email, will it end up in spam does grandma have email? I have a few people who don't even use the Internet

"at half past 5pm in the evening" reword to:

-at half past five (most people are smart enough to know it's not 5am)

or

-at half past five in the evening

I have nothing against the email invites and I think they could be very nice but from my experience with our email STD we had to call and text a lot of people to make sure they received them and the get a response. That was a lot of work. Lol we went with email STD because we had information about travel and accommodations and events for the weekend and I didn't want to have a wedding website (just a personal thing). Anyways you may want to think about that side of it because like has been already said a lot of people don't check or aren't carful when then they check their emails. Hey, I love that you are green... very cool! I'm sure there are a lot of green/earth friendly things you could add to your decorations and other wedding planing.

Send a real invitation.
