Wedding invitation via text! (marriage, invites, message, planning)

I swear. Etiquette is just out the doors these days. I was so dumbfounded I didn't know how to respond.

Have you been received a text message wedding invite? Did you acknowledge it?

No, but if I liked the person and wanted to attend the wedding, I don't think I would care that they invited me via text.

We sent out our "invites" via FB messenger app.

Granted, our wedding was parents/siblings only and meant to be simple ceremony/dinner. Certainly not sending out fancy invites for that. Defeats the purpose of "less fluff" which is what we were trying to do.

If that violates some sort of etiquette protocol....oh well. Our day was perfect in our eyes.

No one knows I now text. So no.but I have had a few wedding e-vites.

I think it's great. It's cheaper for the couple, and less crap for me to throw away...

I fail to see the problem with it. So it isn't how it's "traditionally" done - so what? Does that nullify the marriage and their friendship with you and wanting you to share in their joy? Because if it does, that's kind of sad.

I'm planning a wedding next fall and I'll probably contact some of my friends via facebook message and/or text within the next couple months before I send them a real invitation. Some of my friends live far away and I'm not sure whether they have an interest in attending. Some friends I haven't seen for years, either, so I don't want the invitation to just come out of the blue if that makes sense.

I received a FB message invite to my buddy's wedding. The world didn't end. I only declined because I already had plans for that weekend out of town. If you are good with the person getting married, it should not matter.

I think all invites should be electronic. Less wasted paper.
