Engagement Party Invitations

mmccluskey

Is it tacky to send electronic invitations for an engagement party? I found this site that does really cute personalized electronic invitations (not an evite) and for a lot of our friends we don't have their actual addresses.  I love paper invitations, but I am trying to figure out if its worth the cost.  The engagement party is going to be a casual affair.  I just need help drawing the line between casual and tacky.  Please help.

I think this is okay, if it's a casual party and all of your friends are Internet-savvy. I've gotten evites to pre-wedding parties before, and I didn't think it was weird.

I think it's fine for an engagement party, but really you'll need their actual addresses for wedding invitations anyway so you might as well start getting them now.

I'm not a fan of electronic invitations.

They also don't work for everyone.  My mom checks her email either every day or once every 4 weeks, it's hit or miss.  A lot of times they go in my spam box. Some people change their email address.

That being said, I do think they're okay for pre-wedding events, but agree with Dani that you're going to need people's addresses anyway!

Good luck!

Yeah, nothing wrong with that at all.  My friend hosted ours, and she sent an 'evite' ...

It all depends on how casual it is.  I think the evite is fine if it's super cas.

And remember it's something that's technically thrown for but not by you.
