Invitation Delivery Etiquette



Invitation Warehouse Contributor/Blogger

As discussed in ‘Age Appropriate Wedding Invitations’, we mentioned that Baby Boomers and Generation X-ers believe that the bride should consider her guests in all her wedding planning decisions; whereas most Millennials believe that all decisions should center around the bride. With two sides differing in opinion, what do the rules say?  Or in the world of weddings, what does etiquette dictate?

According to an article on Emily Post’s Etipedia1, it states that when sending eVitations you should consider the following;

·         Do all your guests use email and check it regularly?
·         Will it get delivered?
·         Is it personal and special enough?
·         Will it make responding easier or more timely?

It goes on to say that “A wedding invitation is one of the most personal invitations issued, and an electronic version may not convey that sentiment.”  

With that being the case, the issue can only be decided by clearly defining “personal”; because what one generation may consider personal may be viewed as inconsiderate.  In our next post we’ll delve into the idea of each.  But until then, we’d like to hear your thoughts.  Be sure to tell us what you think in the comments sections or post your thoughts on our Facebook page.
