emailing wedding invitations

My friends daughter is planning on emailing their wedding invitations. While I understand this is the digital age, aren't wedding invitations one of the few things that should still be sent by mail?!

I agree with you.  Emailing wedding invites and also doing online RSVPs scream super casual wedding to me.  Weddings are a special thing and they deserve nice PAPER invitations.  And nowadays with everyone doing so many things through email and online it is kind of nice and refreshing to get non-junk mail in my mail box.

I think emailed invites are way too informal for a wedding and risk being treated like junk mail.

Ugh, don't do it!!!

I have always hated e-vites.  Just because I thought they were tacky and impersonal.  Then a friend of mine sent out e-vites for my bachelorette party, and now I hate them even more.  Nobody even paid any attention to them.  Now I'm hounding people to find out that they forgot to RSVP or didn't even get it or notice it in the first place.  I  can only imagine what a nightmare it would be to email wedding invitations.

BTW the "don't do it" is for everyone out there in the world- I realize these aren't your invitations you're talking about personally.

I went to a e-invitation wedding once.  It was at a neighborhood pool and people wore shorts.  

Unless they are planning a super casual event, you mail invitations.  But then, I won't even use e-vites for a shower.

Yeah, don't use e-vites for wedding invitations for the following reasons:

1) Some people don't have access to the Internet and won't receive them
2) Wedding e-vites can get caught in people's spam filters
3) Often they are seen as informal and not taken seriously
