With the advance in internet technology, more couples are considering sending email wedding invitations. It is very true that it is very convenient to use this kind of invitation. And you can also be able to have you to save you a lot of money since you do not need to print the cards. However, there are also some disadvantages associated with such wedding invitations.
As discussed, it is more convenient for couples to send email as wedding invitations. Yet, you will not be able to have a physical card if you do so. A lot of couples would like to keep a few cards as a piece of good memory for their wedding. It is true that the technology is going to be even more advanced and there will be new ways for you to keep your email invitations. Yet, there are still couples who do not really want to have a virtual wedding invitation because it is not really physically.
You may wonder why some couples would like to keep a physical card. Again, it is all about the memory about your wedding. It will be romantic and sweet when you see your invitation even after 30 years.
Another problem of email invitation is that you may not be able to collect the email addresses of all your guests. This is really a difficult job to collect the addresses. For example, you may not have the email address of a friend of your father. You will not be able to send him the invitation if you do not have his email address. In this case you may need to spend the time to call your guests. This will certainly require you to spend a lot of time. As a result, you may not go for the option of email invitation if you do not want to spend the time on this issue.
In fact, some of your guest may not check their email from time to time. If it is the case, you guests may not be able to receive your wedding invitation. They will certainly miss your event if they do not receive your invitations. To this end, you will need to make sure that your guests will check their mail box. However, it will be just next to impossible for you to make sure this.
In order to solve the above problem, you may still need to prepare some physical invitations. The question here is that the price for printing 20 invitations may not be a lot different from printing 80 invitation cards. You will not be saving money by sending email wedding invitations in this case.
An email wedding invitation is usually considered something informal. Couples may not want to go for this option if they thing etiquette is very important. Of course the world is changing and we can foresee that email invitations will become a new standard in the future. It may become impolite if you do not use email to send invitations in the future. However, we may still need to send physical invitations before this day comes.
