How many times a day or week do you receive Facebook or other social media invitations to join trivial fan groups or events pages? For those organising an upcoming wedding, linking their wedding invitations e cards to a social media platform could be a great way to help guests interact with the busy couple and other guests before the big day itself.
More of us are realising the benefits of sending out electronic wedding invites as opposed to sending traditional paper wedding invitations. E-cards can be designed to look just as formal and elegant as paper cards, while they are also kinder to the environment. In addition, they can also be much cheaper for the couple as they do not require any postage costs and there is no need to create a RSVP card.
One of the details that could be included on the invitation is a link to a social media events page such as one on Facebook. There, guests may be able to ask the couple any questions they may have such as any dietary requirements or if the couple will be providing transportation to the reception venue. Also, guests can contact the couple to let them know if they will be able to attend or not.
If the bride or groom-to-be has invited extended family or friends who have not seen each other in years, this interaction will help ease any awkwardness on the big day. It may help put old friends back in touch before the event so they will have even more to look forward to in the days leading up to the wedding. Some of the ladies may even use it as a chance to find out what outfits the other ladies will be wearing to avoid any potential embarrassing situations when two of them turn up wearing the same dress!
