In my last rehearsal dinner post, I shared my grand plans to print my painstakingly hand-crafted (on Microsoft Word) rehearsal dinner invitations. Well, as is the case with the best laid intentions, this plan went out the window when:
Crap.
Enter the world of Paperless Post, or as I call it - “Evite for those who don’t want to send out Evites.”
Paperless Post is an online invitation and RSVP system, with a myriad of designs to choose from. You can even add virtual envelope liners (almost as good as the real thing. Almost). The first 25 invitations are free, so I hopped right on that baby. Choose a design, enter your guest list, and voila - you’re done. Our RD guests will be receiving this in their email:
Paperless Post tracks the guest list as people respond, and I’m guessing our response rate will be higher since people just need to click on the invite to RSVP—there is no separate email needed. We also saved on stamps and paper-waste (although that was not my first thought, I must admit).
While this wasn’t my first RD invite choice, I had a ton of fun choosing the invitation design. The site is user friendly and the first-timer promotion can’t be beat—give it a try!
Have you modified any plans or projects due to time?
I used paperless post for our rehearsal dinner invites, and surprisingly, i am finding just as many people DON’T RSVP as with regular invitations. Unreal!! 
These are such a great idea!! I’ve never been able to do e-vites, but yours are making me look for an excuse to send some!
This is awesome! It’s exactly what we did for our save the dates, which linked to our wedding website. But we “borrowed” a design on-line, so I was embarrassed to post it (and for fear of being sued). Wish I had your skills to create one myself!
These are great! My mom made my rehearsal dinner invites or they wouldn’t have happened either!
This is a great idea (it was vista print to the rescue for us, only because we had many older guests for whom this would be WAY too difficult…) Yours is so pretty and can I say, yum!
@ChiDIY: Oh no! I hope I fare better 
@Mrs. Perfume: PaperlessPost has a whole set of designs you can use as a jumping off point, so while this one is customized, I definitely didn’t do this all on my own!
i’ve heard so much about this paperless post system recently, i’m going to have to find an excuse to use it!
This is a great idea! I’ll have to keep this in mind for my RD invites!
This paperless post is so cute! If you have issues printing smaller than 8.5×11, you can always do what we are doing for our invites. You make an 8.5 x 11 page in something like powerpoint and set up multiple on one sheet. Then you just cut them apart. =)
awesome! we used Google Forms for everyone’s convenience, earth- and eco-friendliness!
