But for more important milestone parties like showers, definitely snail mail invite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-255081 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 16:21:02 +0000 JerricaBenton 255081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like real paper invitations. If it is a small party (like 20 people or so) I don't mind FB or evites. I just don't like an evite where you can see there are like 150 invitees because I feel like they just invite everyone and don't really care whether you come or not. I would never send evites for my own event because I feel like people don't RSVP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254991 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:11:05 +0000 Mrs.Ham 254991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a HUGE fan of getting an invitation in the mail! You can make them so much more special and unique that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254872 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:07:41 +0000 DillonLion 254872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like paper invitations for things like showers. For other, less formal events, I send FB invites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254801 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 13:13:25 +0000 Boogs 254801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snail mail. I love to assemble them and love having them for the baby's book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254739 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:44:54 +0000 heffalump 254739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think evites are fine and actually nice because they're free and environmentally friendly. But I love making invites, plus I love having them for my memory books, so I'd rather do paper invites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254717 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:39:32 +0000 ladyfingers 254717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do evites for stuff like, we're having a BBQ at our house just because or we're going out to dinner for my husband's birthday. But for showers, kid's parties, weddings, etc. I think paper invites are best. In other words, for things you actually want people to pay attention to the invite for and RSVP for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254686 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:26:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 254686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do snail mail. I've never sent or received an evite. My proper southern grandmother would be mad at me if I evited her to something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254683 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:24:27 +0000 chopsuey 254683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually evites for parties. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254682 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:24:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 254682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For formal events I use paper, but for casual things I'll use either Paperless Post or a FB invite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254681 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:23:56 +0000 mrsjyw 254681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on the event, for formal things like showers i do paper invites... for dinners/parties/etc i use fb </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254675 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:21:08 +0000 Adira 254675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the event. For my annual Halloween party where I invite just my 20-something friends, I do a Facebook event invitation. But for more formal occasions, I definitely do snail mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254634 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 11:52:19 +0000 kokobee 254634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i usually send out by evite but for LO's 1st birthday i sent out paper invitations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254627 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 11:46:55 +0000 MamaMoose 254627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For showers definitely paper invitation (with the exception of work showers). But if we do something like just have BBQ at our house on a random weekend I do an evite. It's quicker, cheaper, and easier, and since it's not a special event I don't feel the need for a paper invite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254623 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 11:44:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 254623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: a friend of mine did that. She sent out paper invites and then had rsvp's sent to an email. I didn't think anything weird about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254622 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 11:44:07 +0000 Running Elley 254622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snail mail.

I still like to send and receive a paper invite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-do-you-send-invites-out-as-snail-mail-or-evites#post-254618 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 11:41:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 254618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For any event, birthdays, dinners, parties, showers etc.</p> <p>My group of friends at church started doing evites for all the showers we throw the women in our church and for some reason I hate it!! I always think it's nice and special for the mom-to-be to have special invites. I think it's a little tacky honestly to send out evites for showers. But that's just my opinion.<br /> I am also crafty and love to DIY so I'd love to make them. But now that there has been at least 5 baby showers where evites were sent out, I feel like if I tried to change it - someone might think it's not fair?? idk.. </p>
