Five Reasons To Send Email Wedding Invitations

10.03.2009 · Posted in Wedding

Choosing the exact marriage invitation is very important. The marriage invitation is the first introduction to the couple that people will receive. Invitations should set the tone for your wedding. They should convey your style and your love. So what can online wedding invitations offer that paper invitation lacks? Is there a convincing argument to email RSVP as a addition or on its own? Here are five first-class reasons to use an photo wedding invitations by email.

Money-
The normal couple in the US spends $20,398 on their marriage ceremony. It is a joyous occasion and deserves thought and money. Wedding experts say that you ought to plan on spending 5-10% of your wedding plan on invitations. That put the price tag of invitations between $1000 and $2000. Without sacrificing the elegance, email wedding invitations can save you money. The cost of RSVP email is a fraction of traditional invitation which makes them great supplements too, see recent comments at our blog wedding invitations. Elegant, personalized photo wedding invitations by email cost less than $40.

Simplicity and Time
Sending an paperless wedding invitations can save you a huge amount of time. Most can be designed, produced and sent within a couple of hours. Look for RSVP online that are easy to build in a few simple steps, without sacrificing the elegance or individual touch that each couple desires. One bride I talked to told me that she spent 2 weeks making and addressing her own paper invitations. The invitations were beautiful. She said that she was sad to know that for several recipients, it would be something that would not be appreciated for the amount of time and originality spent. I asked if she could begin over again and if she would do something different?
Her answer was a hesitant no.

Pictures
One of my favorite things about receiving a wedding invitation is to see pictures of the couple. Nearly all invitations have one picture built-in; some have as many as 4 or 5. Imagine receiving a online wedding RSVP with 20 pictures of the couple along with pictures from their life, courtship and engagement. With eco friendly wedding invitations this is probable. Pictures really speak about your personality, your affiliation and your love.

Environment
Send less paper and complement with online wedding invitations by email. Paper invitations are sent, viewed and then thrown away. Less than 5% of your guests will collect your invitation after the wedding date. Contrast that to RSVP online. No paper used, no paper wasted. Even invitations on recycled paper have to be mailed. The most eco friendly announcements are online RSVP. Reduce the amount that traditional announcements create and use online wedding invitations as a eco friendly option. If you are concerned in having a eco friendly wedding, RSVP online is the only choice.

You’re Already Online
I asked a friend of mine if he and his fiancé would think about using email wedding invitations instead of the traditional invitations. He replied that the email invitation felt too informal, lacked class and didn’t represent his wedding well. I showed him some samples. He was impressed and talked to his fiancé, but said that they decided to go the traditional way. Then I started to watch the irony unfold. Invitations to his bachelor party were posted on his Facebook account (I heard that she did the same for a bridal shower). Then a couple of days before the wedding, his Facebook status was a blanket invitation to the reception with the address. I never mentioned it to him because I did not want to embarrass him or make an uncomfortable situation, but I did wonder why email invitations were too informal, but Facebook was okay. Our social culture is more and more informal, but traditionally, weddings are very formal events. We are at ease on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, but are our intended guests? A number of guest will still require a traditional invitation, while others are all right with an eVite. Don’t hesitate to divide your list. Some of your friends are going to love your photo wedding invitations by email. You are already on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, these contacts will love your wedding invitations.
