Why Printed Invitations Still Matter
In the digital age, sending a printed invitation makes a statement. It shows your guests that the event is important and that you value their presence. Printed invitations:
-
Offer a tactile, memorable experience
-
Add a sense of prestige to your event
-
They are more likely to be displayed or saved by guests
-
Provide an excellent branding opportunity
