This summer one of my friends from college is getting married, she recently mass text a bunch of us that were all on a team together for our email addresses so she can send the STD.. Um, so is grandma going to be able to get one? So I just let it roll off, must be saving money, she just got out of school, no biggie.
Then in the same week I get invited to a FB page called "WEDDING" for one of FIs friends (FI is the best man). They are getting married this summer as well and the FB page just said to leave your address so they can send the invites.. Um, no, why would I post my address on the internet with a bunch of people I don't even know? Strange.. Love both of these girls but honestly, what is technology doing to us!!?? Before social media and smart phones people figured out a way to get everyone's address and send them a STD and invite, why are people getting so lazy!?
Re: "Interesting" wedding invites
this. FI designed a very plain but elegant STD on the computer, and we just e-mailed it to our guests with a little note! Fun tip: If you go to postable.com and create an address book, and then put the link in your STD or e-mail, your guests can give you their mailing address so that when its time for paper invites, you have their addresses! Most of our guests have done it so far (about 120 people), but I will follow up with those who haven't with an e-mail or call just to get their address.
I have no problem receiving or sending STDs by e-mail. In an ideal world, my wedding invites would probably be one of those crazy invitation suites with a mini bottle of wine and a dove flying out of it (exaggeration....not really), but real life and real budgets dictate doing what you need to so you don't start your wedding in crazy debt!
ETA: sorry about the bolding....my bad! newbie.
The bolded is ridiculously common among the people I graduated high school with. The lack of common sense is just astounding to me. Most of them make it completely public so ANYONE can see it. So besides the fact that you really shouldn't be putting your address on the internet for all the world to see the page is basically a list of addresses with a date and time they will be out of the house. So dumb.
