What Electronic Invitations Can Offer

By Emilia Espinoza


Throughout the year, events and occasions continually come up. Usually, the hosts of the event send an invite to the guests to inform them and ask for a response. The invite sent or given is typically placed on paper where the design would be customized. The emergence of the internet however has given birth to another option, electronic invitations.

There is a big debate on the propriety of sending this type of invites especially if the occasion is a special one. People still look for the envelopes with the elaborately designed invite inside because this is tradition. However, there are actually a number of advantages to going down this route.

One of the main characteristic of this type of invite is the lack of paper. In a sense you are actually being environmentally friendly. You no longer have to worry about choosing the right paper for the invite. Moreover, the customizing process will be much easier with the various templates that can be made available.

This also means that you will be paying less for sending this to your would be guests. Think about it. There is no paper involved, no professional to hire, and no printing to pay for. Because you are using online websites, you will not have to pay for sending items through the post office.

Using the email or posting in sites also means that the invite will be received in minutes. This is good for those who are running short of time. If the guest chooses to reply, then you can also receive it immediately. You no longer have to wait for days just to be able to get a head count of your guests.

Putting everything on paper means that you have limited space to provide details. This is not the case for electronic invitations. If you need more space, then all you have to do is to include a link to a site where you have placed all the information. Even if you need to provide directions to the venue, it will still not be a problem.

If you are wondering how you will be putting in all those addresses, these systems can usually be synced so you can get all your contacts. You can set up replies for guests who have answered. You can put in updates if there are any changes to the details and you can monitor all those who have accepted.

There are some things to look out for when you are using this kind of service. Sometimes the email does not get sent because it was classified as spam. Consider also if the recipient is regularly online or else he will not be able to open it. For some people, sending this invites are just a way to follow up on the paper invite they sent.

Electronic invitations can be one way of inviting guests to an event. This means paying a fee but compared to paying for paper, designing, printing, and mailing, this can be the less expensive route. Using a system you can customize the invite, send it immediately and determine who will be attending.
