So I may be a little late to the Paperless Post party, but better late than never.
Paperless Post launched last year and is quickly overtaking the world of email-able invites. I have never been a huge evite fan instead designing little invites to send via email instead. Well, no longer. These will be my new go-to for times that dictate an email invite:
- Want to be eco-friendly?
- A last minute shin-dig that doesn’t allow time for snail mail?
- Don’t have mailing addresses for the peeps on your list?
- Only have out-of-date stamps since the post office ups the postage rate just about every day?
- Want to save on paper and postage and spend that dime on food?
For a fraction of the price of paper invites and postage (literally – paperless post is starts at $5/40 invites, and gets exponentially cheaper), but without losing the fun of opening the envelope.
The invite is delivered to your guest’s inbox in a envelope, and then opens via animation (the above image is my attempt at showing you this in steps), leaving your guest with an online RSVP option.
And the best part – there are design options for every whim. I mean, a tequila bottle with limes for my-kind-of-fiesta, or a gold foil trim for a more upscale dinner party or even a (realistic looking!!) little bow for a sweet baby shower? To add to the look, you can even “splurge” and add an envelope liner.
No doubt that Paperless Post will be popping up in your inbox soon, if it hasn’t already!
What are your thoughts on electronic invites?

I love this! Sometimes snail mail seems too formal for a get together or birthday party, but you want to be a little classier than Facebook. I will definitely be saving this link.

I attempted to post a comment the other day and then my computer did crazy things…but what I said was I am and always will be a fan of the written word. I love the look and feel of beautiful stationery in my hands. That being said, I agree with you about evites being tacky, I can’t stand them really. You should check out cocodot.com too! They have invites, cards and stationery. I’ve sent one before, it’s very cool!
