Wedding invitations

Invites have been hand delivered since the dawn of time. It is perfectly acceptable to continue doing so.

Definitely acceptable and it will save money on postage, go for it. I hand delivered a bunch of our reception invites and mailed to only the people who I don't see on a normal basis!

View Quoted Comment That is good to hear. I didn’t want it to be considered tacky that I’m hand delivering them instead of mailing them to those who are coming in for my bridal shower.

View Quoted Comment That is good to know, thank you

Hi ! I know people who even prefer this way that the letters, it's more personal and you can see the reaction ;-)

View Quoted Comment I never thought about seeing their reactions, I just figured it would save on postage.

I don't see why not! Save the money on postage lol!! We actually hand delivered a lot of our save the dates to family and friends that live near us!

I know some cultures primarily hand deliver to every home of their guests. You can further ask the shower host for the guest list to double check there are no non-guests in attendance. It would be quite awkward to watch everyone else get an invite in front of you.

View Quoted Comment That is what I was thinking about. I just wanted to get everyone’s opinions, to make sure that was not tacky to do.

View Quoted Comment As far as I know, all of the girls attending the shower are invited to the wedding. Now my soon to be sister in-law’s female roommate might be there, that’s the only non person who may be at the shower and not invited to the wedding.

I don't think it's tacky at all! I personally like it when things are hand delivered, and I enjoy seeing everyone's reactions when I hand them a letter/note/card

Yeah, it's a nice idea to invite family and friends by hand delivery. Nowadays most people prefer a digital way of invitation. But I like to invite friends and family directly by sharing the invitation card. We friends planned a one-day trip to invite all our distant friends and colleagues to my sister's wedding ceremony. We prepared a simple and elegant wedding postcard design including bride and groom cartoon images etc.

View Quoted Comment We mailed out the invitations to those who live far away and hand delivered rest of the invites who live close. We are also creating a Facebook event page.
