I have never been a fan of Save The Dates.
I think they are cute and a great way to show off new engagement pictures but totally not necessary. My fiance and I immediately knew we weren’t going to be sending them and was happy to save the few hundred dollars.

Instead of doing a video announcement through email, which was our first idea, we decided to use Paperless Post. Paperless Post let us link to our website, with the click of a button.

Then, once your card has been sent, they have a delivery page that tracks all the cards. I can see who has opened it, what emails bounced, and who deleted the email. It also offers a spot for any comments which a lot of people have been making and we have thoroughly enjoyed reading them!
