Cut your budget. Save paper. Make things simple! Sounds like a grand slam to us!
No one says you have to send paper wedding invitations anymore. The non-traditional route involves less stress and, for many, is more fun. Paperless or email wedding invitations can set the tone and theme of your wedding, just the same as printed paper cards (and save-the-dates) do.
If you’re considering going digital for your invites, even if just for your more tech-savvy guests (like work colleagues and close friends), do it.
In addition to saving paper and your budget, paperless wedding invitations are a great way to add convenience for your guests. With more things digital these days, guests can input your wedding invitations into their GPS in one-click, finding your ceremony and reception venues with ease.
Besides going digital on wedding cards, couples are opting for paperless options on pre-wedding festivities, too: cards for the bridal shower, the bachelorette party, or the rehearsal dinner are easier than ever to send via e-mail.
With the right provider, your digital cards will be just as lovely as a classic printed invitation. Here’s everything you ever wanted to know about making the jump from printed invitations to email wedding invites.
1. Easier RSVPs
One of the reasons why going digital is easy comes right down to the RSVPs. Waiting for guests to respond via mail can seem like an eternity, even when you make it easy. Online responses take a few seconds and since most guests are at an arm’s length from their smartphone or device, RSVPing online is a breeze for digital wedding invitations.
2. Big cost savings
The average couple will spend approximately $3,000 to $5,000 on wedding stationery including printed wedding invitations. For email invitations at Greenvelope, you’ll spend under $200 for up to 300 guests. That’s noticeable savings.
3. Save time
If you choose email invitations, you’ll benefit from cost savings such as waiting on shipping, assembly, calligraphy, finding everyone’s mailing address, adding postage stamps, weighing your invitation and hand-canceling your invitations at the post office, and more. Plus, digital invitations are sent in an instant: no worrying about sticking to a particular timeline. (Yay, less stress!)
4. Save paper.
Feel good about your purchase. Digital wedding invitations require zero paper.
5. Easy to edit templates
Going digital doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality and style. You can plan a wedding on theme with beautiful templates and designs you can update in a flash. Just edit, proofread, and send. It’s never been easier.
