I am in touch with many friends via email because most are students still and live away from home. Is it poor etiquette to send out wedding invitation via email? Do people do that now or should I resort to the tedious tasks of gathering mailing addresses from all over the country?

Instead of emailing or mailing an invitation, why don't you call and personally invite everyone. I would appreciate that more than a mailed invitation. Then you can send a follow-up email with all the pertinent information hotels/reception/church directions, etc.
Best Wishes!!

If your shorter on cash and wanna save a few bucks than sure why not send a few emails invites to them. Because even if you get their mailing address who knows if it will even get there and who knows how long it will take...and also the further away they are the more money you will have to spend to ship it. So dont do it for all of them, but to the ones you talk to a lot on the interent tell them that you want to make sure they get a invitation on time so your going to send one in their email. I am sure that they will be glad to get it and wont think that its in bad taste. Just dont do it for everyone, for those that live in the same province or a close to you I would send them a invitation by mail.
Congrats!

Since you are not in touch with everyone electronically who you will be inviting to your wedding, I think you should gather all of your family members and friend's mailing addresses and send them a formal paper invitation. For your friends who you keep in touch via e-mail, you can send them a message letting them know when you are getting married and requesting their mailing addresses so you can mail them an invitation. Then you can obtain the addresses for family members and close family friends from your parents and/or grandparents.

No way! e-mail invites are ok for a baby's birthday or a marvelous Bowl party or something yet no longer for a bridal bathe! you're suitable, it truly is tacky. A bridal bathe is an previous school (and a touch out-dated) theory, and hence advantages previous-formed paper invites. it truly is effective reachable furnish them quite of mailing, or to e-mail someone to request their deal with for the inviation. until eventually each client became born after 1985, an e-mail inviation isn't ok.

No emailing wedding invitations is not on the top of my list for being classy. Get home addresses...A suggestion if you want to save money, buy blank wedding invitations at Staples or Office Max, and print them out yourself. Mail them out six weeks before wedding. You only get married once hopefully and you want everything to be lovely and classy.

I would email all your friends asking for their address. You can include a "save the date" message on your email, but the actual invitation should come in the mail.

I think email invitations are tacky. Isn't a $25+ wedding gift worth at least that much effort?
Good luck!

NO! email invitations are not acceptable. Instead, email your friends and ask them their prefered mailing addresses. It is your wedding, not a college frat party!

SORRY, BUT I THINK IT IS VERY TACKY TO SEND OUT AND EMAIL INVITING PEOPLE. TO ME IT SHOWS YOU DONT CARE IF THEY ARE THERE OR NOT. IF IT WAS A BBQ OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF GET TOGETHER THEN THATS FINE, BUT WEDDING INVITES REALLY NEED TO BE MAILED.
