    First, calm down. You are not late with the STDs. You can send them anywhere from 6-12 months out. I personally hate E-vite anything for a wedding. It screams super casual to me and most times weddings are not that casual. Check out VistaPrint for inexpensive and quick STDs. ETA: Oh and STDs aren't even necessary so you could skip them if you really want.

    Thank you, Maggie. It seems that everyone is telling me I should send them, especially when most guests are from out of town.
    I will look into that info you sent. Thank you again!

    I received an e-vite a couple of weeks ago for a birthday party. I don't know if all e-vites are like this, but it didn't say who was invited. It came to my husband's e-mail so I assumed we were both invited. I've never used e-vites as I'm not a fan, but if it's standard that they don't include names on them I would skip them for anything wedding related. You may end up with a lot of people assuming their entire families are invited even if they aren't.

    Good point, Tammy. Thank you for your post. I assumed I was out of time, but it appears that I am on schedule, being 8 months away..
    thanks again

    I agree that you're on schedule and no need to worry. Vistaprint or Wedding Paper Divas are good options if you want to do printed ones. 

    I agree with Maggie that e-vites scream casual. If your affair is casual, this is a good, cheap option. If it's not casual, it's probably not your best option.

    I would not use evites for STDs. Many people don't take them seriously because they are very casual; others don't even like to receive invitations in electronic form. When the time comes to send invitations, send paper ones.

    STDs are very new.  Most etiquette guides don't even mention them.  They are always optional.  If you do want to send them post cards work well, and are budget friendly, since postage is less.  Vistaprint does a good job for cheap.  Be careful about sending them.  If you send an STD  to someone, you MUST send them an invitation to your wedding, no matter how the relationship changes.

    Agree with all PPs. Doubly agree that Evite is a bit too casual for a wedding.

    Hahah, sarahbear, funny!
    Thank you all for your replies. It seems that the common advice is not to go paperless. I will do, since I am still 8 months away. Thank you all!

    Paperless STDs are absolutely OK! You might not necessarily want to use evite but I would highly recommend Paperless Post. They have fancier designs so it doesn't look too casual. You can also include your guests names and number of guests right on the invite. There's nothing wrong with saving a few tree and a few bucks on your STDs. You should definitely have paper invitations, though.
