Default invitations

For the first time, I have a host who has e-mail addresses for all of her invited guests. She has done a good job with going on my website and entering in all the information. I am wondering though if I should just send "e-invites" via my website or if I should send physical invites as well...since they all have e-mail? Doesn't matter to me, but was wondering what others are doing.

Thanks!

I always encourage a paper invite too - it's another reminder, and some people may not get the evite, or may not check their email often. You want as much info out there about the party as possible!

I would send the e-invites, but I would still send out real invitations or make sure your host will be personally calling everyone in addition to the e-invites. Not everyone will open the e-mails and some providers will mark the e-invites as spam.

It just depends. If she is one of those people who does everything via email and her friends do too, then I'd let her go with it. Just keep in touch with her and make sure she is keeping up with her RSVPs. I have a host like this, she has 2 shows a year - all of which are between $1,000 and her highest was $1,800. I let her do whatever she wants when ot comes to invites - it works for her

if you send the evites for her on your PWS, sign in to your computer as her with the host p/w - otherwise the evites will come from you and her friends will probably delete it since they may not know who you are.

Yes, exactly. I should have explained that better. Yes, you have to log in under the hosts password so that it shows her name as the sender.
