What do you guys think of e-vite wedding invitations?  (Doing all stationary through email using a nice online company?)

Thanks for your advice!

    According to me e-vite wedding invitations may be used for your friends & all those people who are not so much closed to you or not living at your home town. Besides that it looks odd enough.

    I have no love for e-vites for a wedding, and agree with CMGr that they are inappropriate.

    I was considering doing that early on in my wedding planning.  But the (mostly) helpfully blunt folks on these boards have convinced me that it's a bad idea.  Not an etiquette breach per se, but just distasteful and probably more trouble than it's worth.  First is the fact that older relatives don't use email and will need a paper invitation anyway, and who needs to deal with more than one kind of invitation.  Second, you never know what ends up in people's junk mail files and sits there, unread.  Third, you wish an email invite would come off as environmentally responsible, modern, and quirky, but what it really looks like is that you're super cheap-ass.

    I don't think these are appropriate.
    Like ppl said above, you never know if they even got the e-mail invitation. What if it ends up in their junk mail?  What if they don't check their e-mail.
    Plus people like having a paper copy. They look at the invite, send the RSVP card back then save it and refer to it the day of the wedding.
    Don't make your guests print your e-mail with their own paper /ink or handwrite the info/addresses so they can refer to it on the wedding day.

    It's your wedding - it deserves better than an email.

    I agree that I'm not really a fan of e-vite wedding invitations. That said, there are some situations where they are appropriate. My future mother in law is insisting on email invites (in addition to the paper invite) for all of her guests which live in Mexico. The postal system is not reliable there and it is more likely the guests will receive/read invites sent by email. I think most foreign country invites (even those in countries with reliable postal systems) would fall into the acceptable category.

    Thanks for the input, ladies.  Now I just have to talk my fiancee out of the evites.  I told him what you guys said...but unfortunately he isn't swayed because he seems to think that most of the people on this forums are "negative bitches".  I wish I had never told him about the damn evites now....maybe he'll change his mind once I show him the Vistaprint.com thing that someone had mentioned.

    Anyway thanks again!
