Millenvites and X Baby Boomerations

According to an article published by Today.com, when 20 to 30 something’s, the Millenvites (Millennials and evites), decide to send their wedding invitations, they’re going digital.  Because of their desired delivery method, guests over 40, the X Baby  Bommerations (Baby Boomers/Generation x-ers and formal invitations), seem to feel left out.  You mean technology is impacting wedding invitations?  Absolutely, and here’s why.


X Baby Bommerationsare accustomed to physical or personal contact.  You know, speaking to one another face-to-face or calling someone and actually holding a conversation; whereas Millenvites communicate by updating their statuses on Facebook or by simply sending a text.  Therefore since they’re accustomed to digital communication, every life occasion and major event will be communicated as such. 

Older generations prefer traditional, formal invites and whereas the younger prefer digital. So how can you invite three generations to your wedding and make sure no one feels left out? Send age appropriate invites.  Send digital invites to your younger guests and mail formal invitations from Invitation Warehouse for your older guests.  Or why not step your game all the way up and send each a digital and a formal invite? Either way you can’t go wrong! Be sure to leave us a comment and share your thoughts.
