We're doing e-invitations for a few reasons

1. I made them myself so they don't cost a thing

2. The cost of stamps can add up quickly.

3. People are going to throw out the invite after a little bit

4. It's better for the environment!

With that being said, if you did evites what was the experience like? We're printing out a few for computer illiterate family members haha.

I plan on doing E-vites for all the reasons you've listed. I plan on using paperless post for both . And then I'll also include my website link as well of course for ppl to RSVP through there as well. Paperless post allows you to see when the invite has been received and when it was opened

We did all our save the dates and invites via email. It was great for all the reasons you listed above EXCEPT... You have no way of knowing if the person received it or not. Some people reply back saying they got it or they're excited or whatever, but most people don't. My mom was great at following up and making sure people received theirs, but my dad and stepmom...not so much. It meant following up with people more often and harassing people before the RSVP deadline. Overall though, it was much easier than paper invites.

I did the old-fashion paper invites (designed myself) but I've seen the E-vites getting more popular and can definitely help save money and the environment!
If I did it all again, I'd give e-vites more thought - and of course have a few printed ones for guests who aren't tech savvy.

We did eVites too and they were great. There were a few people that still asked for details (that were already included in the eVite) so I sent an email close to the day of with all the map links and other related info just in case. Made it easier to include the links to the venue, ceremony locations and other things to do in the area. People could also add the details to their calendars, so it was a great format for us overall.

Loved it! Would do it again. The website we used showed us when people opened it, so we were able to check in with people before the rsvp date to let them know they were invited.
