Getting ready to send out DDs 4th birthday party invitation for a bounce place...do you prefer getting a paper invitation or an evite?

Evite. The paper invites get shuffled with my mail and I'm always trying to find it.

This was the first year I did an evite for my DD's 6th bday and I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I heard back from everyone. The party is still over 2 weeks away, but I've heard back from 90 percent.

Evite.
We don't get paper invites anymore.
Evite also makes it easier to pester people for RSVP.

I like paper because you can address it to the child. Kids like getting mail. But as an adult I like the convenience of evite.

We did Evite (well, Punchbowl) last year for DS's birthday and it was great. Everyone RSVPed since they get a reminder. Highly recommend.

paper. i can put them on my fridge. evites just get lost in all my junk email that i'm too lazy to delete! i'll read it real quickly on my phone, then forget about it HAHA
In general, i do better with actual paper stuff that i can hold and look at. i still pay most of my CC bills by mailing in a check LOL it forces me to look at it more...

Re: Evite vs paper invitation

evite. I have a stainless steel fridge, so I can't hang anything on it anyway. With an evite, I can set a reminder on my phone and my computer, so I get visible reminders, instead of just the passive reminder of another piece of paper.
I also prefer responding electronically. Either by text or email or an evite page.

Evite for a 4th birthday party. I like paper for a 1st or something special where you want to keep the paper as a keepsake. For a birthday at a kid's place for school friends an evite is perfect.
I like that it automatically can go in my calander and the evite will remind you when it's getting close. Also, you can see who checked it and who hasn't. If I see someone never checked it I will contact them to make sure I have the correct email address and ask if they got the email.
