Should You Email Your Wedding Invitations?

Ah yes, the question that has plagued couples for centuries: should we email our wedding invitations?

While most couples still mail out wedding invitations, there are a lot of other options these days when it comes to how to invite people to a wedding. You might be wondering if it’s time to forego snail mail entirely and go straight into your loved ones’ inboxes with email wedding invitations.

Pros of Email Wedding Invitations

Cost

Email wedding invitations can be done without spending a dime if you want to do them yourself, but there are also affordable sending services (like ours!) that makes it simple to email your entire guest list without adding another task to your plate.

Unique

There aren’t a whole lot of things you can do with a physical wedding invitation that people haven’t seen before. But with email invites, you can add gifs, music, RSVP links and so much more. With LoveStream, we even offer a video invite that can include a personalized video message, pictures and music that we can send to guests.

Cons of Email Wedding Invitations

No Reminders

Many people put wedding invitations up on their fridge or in another visible spot so that they don’t forget they have a special event coming up. If the invite is sitting in their email inbox, it might be easier for them to lose track of or forget about it.

No Keepsake

In addition to displaying wedding invites, some people enjoy keeping the physical card as a special keepsake to look back on.

Why not do both?

With how affordable evites can be, it’s totally possible to send out physical invitations, as well as email invites. This is especially true if you are having a hybrid in-person and virtual wedding. Send in-person guests physical invites and send virtual wedding guests evites. Easy peasy!
