Earlier this year, my fiance's friend sent us an invitation to his wedding via Paperless Post. It was great - from landing in his inbox to selecting meal options (both options were pie, how loveably northern) and RSVP'ing yes, the reply process was completed in less than a minute, and promptly forgotten about. Wherein lies the problem, we forgot about it. Without an invite to stick to the fridge to remind us constantly that we had an impending wedding to attend (and because he forgot to forward the invite on to me, the organiser of the two of us) we both reverted to a state of 'did we actually get invited to their wedding?' mere weeks after signing yes on the dotted line.
Other problems lie in the older generation - my grandad has never even seen an e-mail let alone opened an account to send one to, and some aunts and uncles are technologically challenged, to say the least. Regardless, we liked the idea of paperless invites enough to adopt the approach for our save the dates, though our formal invitations will be, unless we run out of money, printed.
There's another plus: paperless is cheaper.
Anyway, for those of you considering going paperless, here are some very pretty examples of what is available on Paperless Post, which I spent hours trawling, having fallen so deeply in love with the other couple's design that it took all I have in me not to rip them off completely... (we already have similarly decorated houses, I fear matching our invites would have been a step too far)
What do you think? Would you consider going paperless?
