Do people email wedding invitations?

Emailing wedding invitations is becoming more common in the UK, particularly for smaller weddings, elopements or when you want to save paper and postage. E-invites let you send the same design to everyone instantly, and you can track who has opened or replied. They are also handy for guests who travel, because you can include maps and links to accommodation. However, some couples worry that email feels less personal or formal. If you are having a traditional church or register office ceremony with a sit-down breakfast, printed invitations may feel more appropriate. You can also do a mix: send printed invitations to older relatives and email invitations to younger friends. If you do email, make sure the subject line is clear, such as "You are invited to Sam and Alex's wedding". Include all the key details in the body of the email, not just as an attachment, so it is easy to read on a phone. And always ask for RSVPs by a set date, just as you would with paper invitations. Email is not less thoughtful if you write a warm, personal message.
