I got this wedding invite by sms and I thought it was a bit weird.
Or is that socially accepted now?

I would never accept or respond to a wedding invite via SMS. If they want me there they will send me an invitation via the postal service.
How tacky. I would not rsvp in any way shape or form and if asked I would say "I did not receive an invite in the mail".

Wedding Invitation Sms

Much has been said about this very subject. It is usually talked about in the vein that because of email, IM, text cell phones, video games etc. the skills of manners, ettiquite and social interaction are being lost.
Sending an invite denotes and implies being cheap for one. Do they not value the event enough to send invitations? It implies tacky, young and ill mannered. It also does not bode well for the marriage that there was not at least one partner who was educated enough, raised properly or mannered enough to say "sms would be tacky". I suspect the invites are only the beginning of their issues in life.

Unless the couple has spent their last nickel, presumably to purchase the computor they are using, then, no it is rude. And they must not think much of their own wedding, or their union, to do something so casual.
I'd sms them right back, and tactfully ask, are you serious?
Details needed.
Just out of nosiness, is the date in the very near future, like next Saturday, did they bother to phrase it nicely, or was it a you all come, ya hear? Papa's got a shotgun pointed at my head thing?
Goodness, I thought every little girl dreamed of her wedding. I guess I was wrong.

To send someone a wedding invitation by text message is the most inconsiderate and cheap thing I have ever heard. I guess, in this couple quest to maximize gifts without spending too much on stamps, have opted for the most tackiest way to invite anyone to a special event. Where are they getting married, at the local Taco Bell?

That's one of the funniest things I've read today! SMS is ok for 'lets go for a beer after work'.. but not for a wedding!

No, it's just uncouth.
You could just ignore it, but just so that you don't behave as rudely as your friends, you can send a letter of congratulations, and a gift if you want - with apologies for not being able to attend.
One day they may realize they've been less than gracious - and if not, it's not a great loss.
