    TBH, while it's a little out of the norm & I prefer paper invites, I'm not completely put off by it. 

    My cousin used Evites for his wedding. He & his wife are very environmentally conscious, so I get it. As long as it doesn't come on FB, I'm not going to kick and scream about it.

  • So I see that some of the reasoning against the evites is because of its formality. Traditionally the formality of the invitation should match the formality of the occasion. So what is your take on an evite for a fairly casual wedding? If you know all of your guest traditionally rely on email and Facebook for other invitations. So you know a lack of receiving and checking for the invitation itself isn't a problem for your guest. Do you think an evite for an fairly informal DW would be in poor taste? Bride and groom will still be in suit and dress, no wedding attendants only the father walking the daughter down the isle and you don't give a rats ass if anyone is wearing jeans or dresses like a hoochie because idgf what other people are wearing.
  • I'm just saying if you are going to do evites, at least make them look nice. Don't add me to a facebook group. People RSVP to facebook all the time and don't keep their RSVPs (at least in my experience) because it just isn't taken seriously.

  • We did electronic STDs and are doing electronic RSVPs, with a handful of exceptions for older folks who aren't online. All invites are on paper. It turns out the FILs are not thrilled with the formality of this, but it makes things easier for us and for pur guests. It's also meaningfully cheaper (less paper and less postage).
