Create unique, quirky stationary your guests will never forget.
HOT DEBATE
TO E-VITE or NOT TO E-VITE?
Since ours is the age of technology, it’s no surprise that many aspects of the wedding-planning journey have turned digital – especially in terms of couples using electronic invitations or website to invite their guests and organise their big day.
Creating wedding invitations has become more affordable and efficient with the rise of e-vites – basically online invitations that your guests can respond to via email.
Your creative version can easily be brought to life with the massive range of DIY editing software that’s available (often for free) online. Alternatively, you can seek the expertise of a pro graphic designer to help create your perfect invitation.
At the same time, we also know that having beautiful stationary is a big part of the wedding experience. You could combine old and new by crafting hand-copy invitations for older guests anf your nearest and dearest, and sending e-vites to the rest of your guest list.
Another really great option is using e-vites or Facebook to send out save-the-date and RSVP cards. Once everyone has confirmed, you can send traditional invitations, outlining all the wedding details, to those who will be attending.
