As we continue down the speed track towards the digital bend, it is inevitable that email wedding invitations are going to creep further and further into the center of the road. Many couples still have reservations about sending an eCard as a wedding invitation. For such a formal event, is an email appropriate? The answer is a resounding YES.
YES. Okay, okay, please don't stop reading here. I am not suggesting that you should yell out "stop the presses"! Don't dial up grandma and tell her to check her facebook page for info on your upcoming nuptials. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT clear your refrigerators of all of the cute sunflower magnets in anticipation that you will have nothing to hang next spring. Call the professional photographer, pick out the right paper, select a professionally designed invitation. Address the envelopes by hand, include your RSVP cards, seal, stamp and deliver the necessary traditional invitations. There, feel better now? Now that the traditional invitations are done, lets look at digital eVites. What about all of your friends that you only keep in touch with through email? Did you track down the address for your roommates that have moved off to Michigan? Missouri? Montana? Are your friends in Europe planning dropping a grand to cross the pond for the big day because you were willing to spring for the international postage? Introducing the solution. Digital Wedding eVites. Digital eVites make a great supplement to beautifully designed, traditional wedding invitations. Let's face it, the world runs on email. The only mail that makes the rusty hinges on my P.O. Box squeak are wedding invitations and credit card offers (not that I would give either of those up). Now you can announce your love and commitment to more than just those you can scratch up addresses. Digital eVites are for your Web 2.0 friends. The ones who you have never met their sister, but you're in their top 8 on MySpace. That friend who moved to South America and won't make it, but will be upset if they are not invited.
No. Don't cancel the traditional invitation. Don't send out only a Digital eVite. Give grandma something to put on her fridge. Call the mailman and put him to work. Then, send your Digital eVite to everyone you know.
