  • It's def better than a facebook invite! But I don't know that it would be an effective way to communicate for the people in my life

  • I think a first birthday is a big deal so I would say do a real invitation. We've done a lot of evites but they were for adult birthdays or house parties.




  • An evite is one thing. A pdf copy of an invitation is another thing entirely.

    What's the difference? Either way, you're electronically inviting someone.

    ETA: I changed the title so as not to confuse someone else.

    I took this to mean that it isn't quite as casual as many forms of an e-vite

  • I think we'll start doing real invites when they start inviting kids from school.  I remember how much I loved getting invitations when I was little.  Right now it's just our friends and families.  And if someone wants to get their nose bent out of joint because I emailed them an invite...well I probably wouldn't be friends with them in the first place actually.

    Oh. Perhaps. I wasn't being snarky, I really didn't know the difference.

    Sure, but evite also allows you to manage your RSVPs and show off your guest list, so it serves as more than just an invitation. A pdf just looks like you're too cheap to send invitations, imo.

    eta: I also don't have anything against an email invite, at least for casual get togethers. It's the pdf of a real invitation that I find cheap and tacky.

  • I find it tacky to send a PDF. It isn't that I think you should always send a mailed invite but it is the whole PDF thing that bothers me. I would just call everyone and tell them about the party instead of a PDF.

  • I think the only time an emailed invite ( be it a PDF or evite or whatnot) is acceptable is for pretty casual gatherings - like a game night, movie night or guys/girls night out.
  • I voted SS.

    If it were informal and I if I were VERY CLOSE to the sender and I knew that everybody is getting the same treatment, Then I would not mind.

    For a formal event, or if I were not close to the sender, I'd think is tacky.

  • I PDFed the invite for DS's 1st birthday. Then I told privately those who I knew may want a copy that I could print one out for them. only 3 people said they would keep one as a remembrance (2 grandmas and one aunt)
  • I voted SS because I don't ALWAYS check my e-mail.  I might also be afraid if it would go into someone's junk box and they claim they never received it and felt hurt they didn't get invited (although I guess that could happen with USPS too).

  • I don't like PDFs in emails because I have to save them and then open them up. I know it's lazy, lol.

    If you're thinking about sending an email/digial invite you should try Punchbowl. They have really cute email invites you can send, and then people RSVP online.
