Are e-vites tacky?

Do I have to send real invitations for Ethan's party?  There is an evite that is his theme and most people just respond by email or facebook any way.

  • I do them all the time... it is one less thing in my kitchen making a mess, many are really cute and interactive and it is easy to respond. I hate calling to rsvp especially for something like a shower when I don't know the host.

  • I think they are fine, and so much easier/cheaper!

  • I say they're okay, I don't blame you. I could not believe the cost of stamps, they literally doubled the costs of our Xmas cards.

  • I don't think so, I did them for J's baptism and it was definitely easier.  I would just maybe do a couple of regular ones for people that don't do email, or one to keep, or for the grandparents, etc. 

    Although if you go the regular invite route, my sister and I were just talking invites yesterday and you can do a photo card through seehere.com with a promo card and get 20 for $1.49 shipped.

  • I started doing them.  Then you know people got them, it keeps track of RSVPs, you can send a reminder and add a lot of extra details or whatnot.  I still love paper invites, but it is just more practical.. it is a digital age, so I think it's fine.
  • I think for a third birthday, it is definitely okay.  I would want to do paper for the first birthday, but from then on...evites would be fine!  I love Evite!

  • We did it for his 1st birthday party - forget why we used it, but it worked out really well. If they weren't sure how to respond, they'd just call or email us. I think they're fine for things like birthday parties or get-togethers. Don't think I'd use it for a formal event, like a wedding, but wouldn't begrudge anyone if they did.

  • I think they're fine- I considered using them but I invite so many older family members I might as well just do print invites...

    This for me too. And I like to keep one for the baby book.  But I don't think they are tacky at all.

  • I have come to think that nothing you do when you have young kids is tacky. I like to send invites but they are always so late that I need to send a save the date via email first.
