Acceptable.

Why even have a ceremony at all, when you can get e-married by an e-priest. (No, really.)
Think about the money you'd save, it's only your wedding, afterall.

To revise my thoughts: send proper invitations to family members, etc.

Facebook or telephone invite your other guests and provide info through e-mail or Facebook.


Comparing invitations to the ceremony isn't really apt.

I find that too much importance is placed on the invitation cards.


Oh, and to get a woman's opinion: my girlfriend and I had this discussion a couple weeks ago and she holds the stance that Facebook inviting to a wedding would be practical. And this is a woman who is obsessed with weddings and will end up costing me and her family ridiculous amounts of money when wedding time comes around.

I was moreso doing it in a "saving money" aspect.



The reason I don't see a big deal with sending out an invitation to every person at my wedding, is because I don't plan on inviting every single person I've spoken less than 10 words to in the past 3 years to. It depends on the size of the party you wish to invite. I only want close friends and family, so it wouldn't be a big deal to send out cards, personally.

Its not so much the ceremony for the most part that is usually pretty small.
It's the reception which tends to have a larger turnout.

And to Dylflon, the problem with sending invites to close friends and family and then e-vites to others is it kind of shows some of your guests as lesser or filler, I mean there's the odd chance they won't show or know but still.

Take for example, two of my close friends are getting married next year. I've known the date for one of the weddings since the end of last year, and I still speak with them, but they still will send invitations just because its the proper course of business.

And... well I don't see a point in going cheap with a wedding, you only get one (god willing)

I just realized why I don't like the wedding invite via facebook.

When people send me facebook invites to things, I - along with many if not most of other people, don't really read what it is for - and just click "attending, maybe, not" to it. That is, if they check their event list at all. It seems trivial to me to put it on the same page as "Hey, so I sent you the invite a few weeks ago, but you're coming to my wedding, right?"

"Wedding" and "BBQ" should never be inter- changable words.

Not to mention e-vites aren't physical things. So you have to factor, how much time do you give to an e-vite for a wedding? Too long, and they might forget about it entirely, too short and it will seem like bad planning. The beauty of the actual invite, is people can put it on a counter/mantle etc. until the date arrives.

Hmm..if you click "attending, maybe, not", then that's pretty good. When I get an invite from someone I click "ignore invite" and "block invites from this person". So if somebody invited me to some stupid event in the past, and they try to invite me to their wedding, I'm not attending.

Facebook wedding invites: Like webcam-chatting with your doctor and swallowing your webcam so your he can check your throat.
