I know a couple girls who were in the same boat as you when they got married - they wanted to do it, but it wasn't as widely accepted yet. We are lucky, and our guest list is pretty internet savvy - even Derek's grandma is on facebook lol! I'm pretty impressed that you only spent $200 on your invites! We are thinking of using our engagement photos (which will be taken in the spring) and making a save-the-date to send out in the mail, which will provide our wedding website address. I'm planning on DIYing it for under $100.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419660868594065920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439649413568555761.post-36399005685177212262012-01-29T22:43:31.183-05:002012-01-29T22:43:31.183-05:00Go for it!

Now, everyone has email and if they don't (like grandparents) perhaps you can make some hard copies for them? Even when you send mail-in invites you will get those who don't respond by the RSVP date and you will need to call them, so I wouldn't worry about emails not being followed-up on. I bet it would make things easier! Maybe you could somehow set up and read-receipt to the email? Love your list of pros and cons. I made my own from some Michaels kits and I still spent over $200 bucks - plus the stamps. I really love your idea.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11565759832834480920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439649413568555761.post-48405669323989735132012-01-26T23:16:11.938-05:002012-01-26T23:16:11.938-05:00Thanks Tiff, you are sweet :) I agree with you. ...Thanks Tiff, you are sweet :) I agree with you. I think since most people have smart phones these days it makes having a wedding website more user friendly. Our guest list is pretty small, and we are lucky - even the older generations who are coming are on facebook, so everyone is pretty internet savvy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419660868594065920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439649413568555761.post-41163888824378073662012-01-26T20:26:33.744-05:002012-01-26T20:26:33.744-05:00If you asked me when I got married I would say ema...If you asked me when I got married I would say email or websites not cool or a real cheap way to go! But now pretty much everyone has a iPhone or smartphone so wedding website are perfect. People can access it the day of if any issues. Friends used one two years ago and to be honest I only looked at it once, they also sent out formal invites so maybe why I didn't look at it. I also didn't have an iPhone then ;) if you do go formal go <br />cheap! I think it's crazy people spend over $5 an invite. <br />Common no one saves them!! Except yourself for your <br />scrapbook ;) buy one and save it. <br />Meg, you put way too much thought into things (in a good way) so either way I'm sure you'll do a great job at <br />it and they will be the talk of the town ;) you could always do website and then do a formal invite for older generations or those with out access at their hips :) then you get to do both!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940247505676910839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439649413568555761.post-77950957276669152882012-01-26T16:24:43.217-05:002012-01-26T16:24:43.217-05:00Hey Shannon,

We are thinking of perhaps sending out save-the-dates by mail which will include our website address. But then do we follow-up with an email? Not sure. I love the idea of making it myself, especially since we don't have a huge guest list.<br />Take care!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419660868594065920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439649413568555761.post-36532545939055007092012-01-26T16:19:01.146-05:002012-01-26T16:19:01.146-05:00Hey Meaghan,
I love your little blog!
My opinion.....Hey Meaghan,<br />I love your little blog!<br />My opinion....it's nice to get stuff in the mail! We made ours at home with a pack from Micheals, and saved a heck of a lot of money on something people usually just throw out (well, that's what i do anyways) when the event is done.<br />That being said - how cool is a wedding website!!? Good luck in your decision making!!<br />ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
