I read somewhere that a suggestion was to photograph a gift and e-mail it to the happy couple...cracked me up.

I am literally sitting here in shock. I would have to ignore it because if I reacted it would get mean.

That is so tacky!!! It's bad enough that email replaces telephone conversations or even meeting friends in person but to email a wedding invitation is horrible. You are putting no effort into your guests and look like a horrible hostess. Maybe you should postpone the wedding, not even enough time to RSVP. PS-My wedding is 4/4, my invites were out 11/11 and RSVP date was 2/1. Get with it.

Now the e-mail invite isn't that bad, if in particular this couple found each other through their love of technology...say they met online or something. But actually saying don't come, send a gift? What a bunch of clods!

Pardon? Am I understanding this correctly. Some acquaintances emailed a wedding invitation. And in it they said 'no need to come but you can send a gift.'
You know what I'd do. I wouldn't go and I'd send them a book on etiquette.
Everything they've done has broken all rules of etiquette.

Whoa, that's bad. I've known some uncouth clods in my time, but your friend takes the cake.......I'm afraid I actually liked the idea of a picture of a gift e-mailed back to them (that doesn't mean do it, but it is a funny thought).....I think I would just have to ignore the gift solicitation.

That's really sick. First that it was emailed. Secondly how in the world did they suggest you shouldn't attend? As for a gift - I LOVE the idea of emailing a nice pic of a big, expensive item!

A emailed wedding invite means no gift and totally tacky and worthless, dont send a gift and send your reply back via email.

shock and awe. Funny thing is, one of my husband's wanna be big shot relatives actually did bring a picture of a gift to his cousin's bridal shower instead of an actual gift- supposedly it was on order, but you never know. Hrmph! some people!!

"they" should get with the times. Wedding invites are expensive. The people doing the inviting want to share a special day with those they care about. Why punish them for not having tons of money to do it "properly." - I wouldn't choose to email my invitations but if I received one I would go.

I don't care how much technology has evolved. I still think invites should go in the regular mail. I would ignore it.
