Paper Wedding Stationery vs Digital Invitations – Which Should You Choose?

by

Invitations: Greenvelope.com | @Greenvelope

Here at Smashing The Glass we are HUGE fans of great design and beautiful typography so it will come as no surprise to you that we LOVE wedding invitations — paper and digital  — with equal  measure. 

Both options have their share of pros and cons, and sometimes the answer isn’t as straightforward as you’d think. In fact, there isn’t a right answer at all. Ultimately, you just need to weigh what details and features make sense for you as a couple.

So today we’ve asked our wonderful friends at Greenvelope to highlight several points to help determine if digital or paper invitations are right for you.

(And by the way this is in NO WAY a promoted post – we love digital and paper stationery in equal measure – and wanted to create a post to help you decide which option might be right for you as a couple!).

Let us know what you’re going for in the comments below.
