Need the opinion of OS-ers

I think it's a great idea. Much easier to reply via email too.
You could go one better & set up a web page with wedding details on it, map to the venue, link to local hotels if needed, gift list if you're having one etc etc & all the other info that gets included in the wedding invitation these days. Then after the event you can post a few piccies on there & a generic thank you. Sending out the invites by email also sets people up to expect their thank you note by email too!

Then I have to say SIL must stand for silly/selfish/self-centred/-in-law!!!

What a paltry attitude to take! Couldn't she just say, " I know I'm being silly, but I'd really love an individual invite if you don't mind?" If she wanted it as a keepsake for example.


This is in reply to culpepper!!

Just wanted to add my vote for virtual invites, I think they are a fab alternative. I used them where possibel for Spud's baptism earleir this year & printed out paper ones & posted to those not online, guess who RSVP'd earliest/most?!

We have a domain already for fun stuff at https://www.houseoflies.co.uk and I could just creat a sub domain and have all our arrangements on it.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I misread your domain as house of flies!! Just been there, wondered what's this got to do with flies, had a laugh at your lies, and only caught on what I'd done when I got back here!!

In view of the fact I've just demonstrated what an idiot I am, feel free to totally disreguard my previous opinions!:D

hahahaha it's a common mistake!

Fraid so but unfortunately there are some people like that in the world.

I've added my yes vote to your original thread. If people are offended they can stay at home & your special day will be more fun because of it.

Some people seem to take pleasure in looking for imagined offence, life's too short to let them bother you.
