Are email SAVE THE DATE cards come across as tacky or cheap?

I just made 140 "save the date"cards and we just changed my date and location. I thought of just coming up with an elegant email or PDF to send out to all the guests email addresses. I could even great a nice website and just send out the link. If you received one of these would you take it as being tacky or cheap? My wedding is next August. Any other ideas?

create your wedding website and send everyone the link.. it is an august wedding and some people will plan their vacations for then no matter how you tell them to save the date..
Reply:take the time to sent the save the date cards, but you should have waited until 6 months before to send them out. Something may happen and you will have to send the save the date card again, If someone ask before the six months you can just explain what happened
Reply:And how would you notify those that don't have email? If you are going to send something to them others will wonder why they only received an email.
Reply:I wouldnt' take it as tackey or cheap. I think it is a very efficient way to get the change of info to everyone in a expeditous manner.
Reply:I don't think so - it's much more environmentally friendly - "green" weddings are getting more and more popular.
Reply:I would do it... BUT keep in mind there are three types of people : The people who check their e-mail daily, The people who have e-mail but delete most (if not all) of it and those who don't have e-mail at all. I'd probably stick with the paper save the dates if at all possible, just to ensure everyone gets one.
Reply:I would be OK with it.





The same thing happened to me. We made our save the date cards, but then we had to change our venue (and unfortunately move the wedding date from Saturday to Friday, it's a long boring story). I just used glue stick and pasted new date a place on the card, it looked OK. I think that would be better than scraping all of the save the date cards.
Reply:I don't think older generations are ready for "fancy emails". I would say, think about how your parents would react. I use online invitations for casual events with friends (mostly people in the technology field), but I think most things wedding related still need to be formal. If you are sending out formal invitations later though, a save the date electronically might not be bad.
Reply:When I sent out my rsvp cards, we decided that we didn't want to spend the extra money to buy the cards, envelopes, and the extras stamps just to have some people not send them back. So what we did was we printed out cards from our printer saying to please respond by emailing or calling us personally, and we didn't get any complaints of what we did and we found it more effiecient.
Reply:I don't know if it would come across as tacky or cheap but there are a couple of problems that come up - there people who don't have e-mail, if you use a website it could be sent straight to the person's junk e-mail or if it gets sent to their inbox, they might delete it thinking it is junk.
Reply:I think as long as you do both the e-mails and the actual cards, it would be okay. The Knot does save the date e-mails for you and I think they are cute. You may want to check it out.

Reply:I'm not sending them out. I think it's much simpler (and cheaper) to send out Emails.





Why spend that much in postage if your going to have to turn around and do it again for the invitations?
Reply:since not everyone has email....I would go with sending out ones that you make yourself. There are so many options for a dyi project.





I made my own magnets for about $20 (made 100 of them) and then mailed them...they only required a 41 cent stamp %26amp; I only had to mail 76.





It is nice for your guests to have something to "keep" to remind them of your wedding.
