E-STDs

E-STDs

Things to be aware of when sending out electronic save the dates:

If the file name attached to your email includes “STD”, non-wedding-savvy folks on the guest list may be a bit hesitant to open it. And you will be the butt of many family jokes.
Yahoo will actually freeze your account for a few hours if you try to send an email to too many people (apparently 300 is too many).

We hemmed and hawed about sending e-STDs, but in the end it fit with the overall feel of our wedding. No frills, budget-friendly, and most important, a low environmental footprint.

Our STDs were designed by our good friend Shari Amos, a graphic designer who does wedding invites (lucky us!). I am in love with them. I couldn’t fall asleep last night because the 18 hour time difference meant that people might open our email as early as 1AM our time. I might even sacrifice a small tree and print a few up as keepsakes… that’s how much I love them.

Are you considering e-STDs or an earth friendly option for any of your wedding communications?

Those kick-butt Miss Veggie! I was going to go with evites for my small wedding. Unfortunately pretty paper won out. The only good part, it was eco-friendly at least.

We sent out e-stds as well! Luckily we mass emailed them by group (my family, his family, friends, etc.) so our accounts didn’t freeze!

That is very important to know as we get geared up for our e-invites.

Also I love the small details of the tent and your initials on the tree!

I love, love, love these! They are probably one of the best STDs I have seen yet. Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with for invites!

Love it Veggie! We did E-STDs and will be asking guests to respond to our paper invites through email or through the telephone.

lol, so true that you must be careful who you use the acronym STD around.

Those are very cute! We are considering either e-STDs or doing little button magnets (designed by us) that are more artsy than STD so that our guests might consider continuing to use the STD magnets after the wedding.
