Evite delight

What if someone sent out an Evite for a wedding?

I mean... I would still go, that's for sure. Although, those Evites can be really bogus and harvest e-mail addresses to sell to herbal viagra substitute manufacturers and penis enlargement companies. But I would probably be 33% more likely to RSVP in a timely fashion if I received a wedding evite.

I'd probably still show up, but why stop at an evite? Why not just set up webcams all over the church and reception hall so anyone can "go" to your wedding from the comfort of their home. You could advertise it and get corporate sponsors, the whole wedding could be paid for...1 honeymoon? pshhhhh, take 6!

I could send you an e-card and maybe an online gift certificate.

Thank you Al Gore for creating the wonderful world of cyberspace, wear a chump like me can attend a wedding drunk, alone, and in my underwear! (as opposed to just drunk and alone)

PS general...have you found any of those weiner enlargement drugs that work? not that i'm asking, but i'm...uh...doing a report for school.

I got one this summer, actually. She sent out an Evite for her bachelorette party too... it was sort of scary. But The General is right- it WAS easier to RSVP to. Plus, she used the extra mula to make the reception open bar. I was surprisingly ok with it after that. :)

Take it from Linds, evite makes dollars and sense, ya heard! Philthy, your ribaldry is unparalleled. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to look up "ribald" to know what I just said.

General, what if I made a rule that you get tasered if you show up for a wedding without RSVPing on time? I mean, you could still stay, but you get tasered once.

well after looking up "ribald" in the dictionary, i agree.

I probably wouldn't go to an evite wedding, b/c I wouldn't know if it was really serious or not, if I was just an "afterthough" invitation, etc.

If you want quick replies, you can maybe send a "save the date" kind of announcement far enough in advance, and then send real invitations with an option to R.S.V.P. via e-mail, so that you still give people plenty of heads-up, plus the option of replying as quickly and easily as possible. I know, it won't save you on postage, but folks of the older generation (or just of a more formal mindset) will be more likely to take the invite seriously.
