Making The Modern Day Invite

Sending out invitations for any kind of an event can be a hassle and super expensive. Especially if you’re using old school methods like sending out hand written cards and letters via the post office. And let’s face it, Facebook invites, while quite popular and super convenient, are just so impersonal. Plus we all know at least one person who doesn’t use Facebook religiously. But thankfully there is a new solution to send out invites for just about anything in a simple yet formal way. Paperless Post is a website where you can download templates and even create your own kind of cards, invitations and all other kinds of special announcements. From birthday party invitations to wedding announcements, Paperless Post has everything you’re looking for. And by some off chance they don’t have what you’re looking for, you can always upload your own design and have it printed and sent out.

Now this sounds amazing, but there must be a catch. How much does this service cost? Well the website uses its own currency called coins. You can purchase coins on the website, and the exchange rate is the following: 20 coins = 10 USD, 60 coins = 15 USD, and 100 coins = 20 USD. Most templates start off at 2 Coins, but the price will vary based on any extras you decide to add.

Paperless Post also offers premium quality templates that were created by some of the most popular stationery designers. You can find customizable invites and cards from Kate Spade, Jonathan Adler, Sugar Paper, Rifle Paper Co. and many of your other favorite designers.

Sending out an invite or even a card with Paperless Post is so simple and easy. When you find the template you like, you are able to customize it on their website or their very user friendly app. Once you’re finished designing, you have to create or sign into your account. If you have a Google Account, you can login with that. After that you will see how much your design will cost to send out. The envelope is an extra coin, and if you add a patterned liner that will be another extra coin.

Once that’s done, you have to create your guest list which will include all of the invitees’ contact information and the event’s location. When you are all done with your invites and they are ready to be sent out, you can go to your account or as they call it the Post Box. In your Post Box, you will find all of the invitations you have sent out and even see the ones you have received. In the Post Box you can also see who has viewed your invite and if they have submitted a RSVP. 

Recently, Paperless Post just added a new feature on their website. Instead of just sticking to cards and invites, Paperless Post added the option to create Flyers. Which is currently free! By using the flyer option, you can easily send flyers for any upcoming events you may be hosting or putting together. The flyers are also all digital and can be sent via email or text message! The flyer option is the best to use when sending out digital invites for any kind of get together. Think of this as the upgraded version of the Facebook invite.

Sending out invitations has never been easier thanks to Paperless Post. The features on this website have introduced a new modern way for this generation to get the word out about all of the most important events in our lives. Next time you want to send out some invitations, whether it’s a formal card or just a digital flyer, give Paperless Post a try.
Until next time.
