Physical or online invites

Unsure what to do with our invites, sending an online invite is a simple and easy way to save some money in the budget and collect rsvps without mistakes. Also a more sustainable choice.

Paper invites can be so pretty and personal but run the risk of chasing rsvps, however I do like the traditional aspect.

So can I have your opinions based on what you've received lately and did you mind an online rsvp, did you find the ease of that more convenient or have you had an invite stuck to your fridge or notice board and you were happy to send a traditional rsvp via post.

I'd really like one or the other, not keen on people texting or emailing as I don't want to lose track of where the info is stored for who.
Thanks

Physical invites are much nicer and I still have some as keepsakes. They don't need to be expensive. I'm sure they sell them in £ land if you're on a really tight budget.

We received an online invitation recently and it was fine. However, it surprised me how I had to get help to reply properly (I was obviously much more stupid on line than I thought) and also I had no real address for posting a present.
I missed seeing the invitation on the fridge
They are happy occasions and I love being reminded.
There are some benefits to knowing the guest's physical address when it comes to later when sending out thank you notes.

I like physical invites.

Old thread but… I was planning to do online. Purely because of cost - we’ve got a fairly large invite list and the cost of stamps plus the invitations for a big group feels unnecessary if we can do it online? Although.. I do like pretty stationary.
