The New Wedding Helper: Technology

The Etiquette of E-Mail

Just because you can send an e-mail does not mean that you always should. The more formal the communication, the more appropriate it is to use postal mail rather than e-mail. A good test of whether it is acceptable to send an e-mail invitation of other communication is to ask yourself if you'd feel comfortable extending the same invitation over the phone. If the answer is yes, then e-mail away.

When Not to Use an E-Mail

For Wedding Invitations. E-mailing a wedding invitation, even to closes friends or family is not appropriate in any situation. I am going to use a phrase my mother would use "Tacky, Tacky, Tacky". Take the time to print invitations and mail.

For Thank you Notes. Take the time to sit down and hand write each thank you note and send through the mail. If you have fallen behind on your note writing, however, you can send an e-mail as a stop-gap measure to let the gift giver know you've received his or her gift and will be sending a formal thank you soon. Just remember the e-mail does not replace the actual thank-you note.

Modern Technology is great for the wedding planning processes and will help streamline everything, just keep in mind some things just are not appropriate for e-mail or social networks.

I hope you all have a good day, I am going to get better at my blogs but please send me any questions that you might have.
