Invitations


Courtesy, kindness and protocol die hard.

While it is popular (and sometimes, accepted) to issue and respond to invitations electronically, the days of printed and mailed invitations and thank-you notes are far from numbered.

Invitations to important life events still are popular and alive. The kinds of events that still rely on printed invitations include:
  • Weddings
  • Bachelor and bachelorette parties
  • Baby showers
  • Super Bowl parties
Step back, Evite, you aren't the end-all-be-all.

As for other printed cards, consider that hand-written notes still have a significant impact with those who receive them. For example:
  • A new business associate remembers a hand-written thank-you note longer than an email thank you.
  • Newly married couples still follow the protocol of sending hand-written thank-yous to their wedding guests and gift-givers.
  • A potential or new employer not only remembers a hand-written note, they appreciate the gesture.
Printed invitations and notes live on because personal interaction is still very important.
