B-Day Invite Question
A couple of years ago I started making invites, favor tags, cupcake tags, etc. for parties that I host--DD's b-days, holidays, whatever. So I just created the invite for DD's birthday and sent a screenshot to show my mom. Then I got to thinking...is it terrible to just send everyone a digital copy of the invite I created through a text or email? I asked DH and he totally thinks I should do it but I'm kinda neurotic and used to sending everything out with pretty printed addresses and corresponding stamps lol. I guess it's not really different than sending an Evite out & I think it makes it super easy to RSVP also. Thoughts on receiving a text and/or email invite for a 3rd b-day party?

Re: B-Day Invite Question
I'm horrible about checking email so there's a good chance it would never be seen. A text of the invite would be totally fine though.

B-Day Invite Question
I have a friend who texts pictures of invites she creates and another who Facebook messages a picture of the invites she creates. I also have a few friends who just create a facebook event and others who use evite to send invitations but I would be nervous that not everyone would get the evite. I will probably use a facebook event for my sons birthday this year.

Thanks for the response! I think text is better than email too.

I like the text invite idea. I have been taking pictures of invites we receive now any way. My kids take them off the fridge and then I have no clue when/where a party is.

Thanks! I'm the same way--it's so convenient having the info on your phone.

Re: B-Day Invite Question
I prefer printed invites. My 3 year old DS doesn't have an email address, nor does he have a phone to receive texts. Since it's a kids party, I think it's just nicer when kids receive the invite. He really enjoys getting mail/invitations and has a magnetic board in his bedroom where he displays them.
That said, half of the invites we receive are through email or text. I just feel like we live in such a high tech world, but it's nice to enjoy the simple things... a good old fashioned paper invite being one of them. Just my opinion. I realize it's the less popular vote.

I like digital because then I can usually just click on the date and it'll add it to my calendar.

Either print or do an actual digital so there are reminders. If you just text or send an email, people will forget.

I agree with this - make sure all invitees are up to date with technology
