Evites Instead of Mailing Invitations |
|
|
Because our wedding had a short lead time, we sent out "save the date" emails through eVite. Much easier than phoning - and cheaper for relatives all across the country.

RE: Evites Instead of Mailing Invitations
Pam responds - We only used the Evites for pre-wedding "Save the Date" invitations, and sent out real printed ones somewhat later, too - This was because there wasn't a long lead time for the wedding.
RE: Evites Instead of Mailing Invitations
I think sending evites is a great idea too. But I also agree with the others. You really need to follow up with a phone call. Better yet get a box of Postcards/Index Cards by Avery and create a little invitation that you can send out in the mail. Postcards cost less than letters or cards to mail. Plus people will have a printed reminder in their hands. The box of printable postcards cost around $7 and postcard stamps are .24 each. So if you invite 100 people that would be $24. So for around $40 or less (including the cost for the ink you will use) you can send out a great remainder and maybe have more people come then not. I know that when I get busy with work and my family email is the last thing I check. It can set for weeks before I get a chance to. Plus emails can get lost in cyber space or it might go to some ones spam/junk folder and they may never see it. BTW, Congrats.

Don't be surprised if all don't get evites in time, sometimes due to work etc..personal emails are last on list to look at...perhaps a phone call or even a cute postcard. If everyone on your list is good about checking then it sounds like a great idea, easier and cheaper than mail.

just so you know. it is only cheaper for you. i understand the concept but if your wedding date was not planned, a phone call may have been nice also.
