We are learning that online wedding invitations are moving into the 21st century and finding a place in modern etiquette rules.

We can learn quickly (within minutes thanks to Facebook) of a friend’s engagement. Sending invitations through the mail can create a margin for a delayed response if people move, or the invitation is returned to sender. Delays can make it difficult to have time for the guests to make travel plans with seat availability, price of tickets, requesting time off work, etc.

Since many of us are online throughout the day, it is unlikely to miss critical information. There seems to be a misguided assumption that online communication is exclusively for informal contact/events. On the contrary, beautiful sophisticated invitations are at your fingertips without delay, postage costs and a high price tag.
