Criticism of Wedding Websites
Criticism of wedding websites includes the process of sending out invitations via email rather than by mail. In a recent survey, 37% of voters said that evites should "never" be sent out, while 49% said it "depended on the wedding," and 14% said "anytime." Most wedding planning books suggest to the brides ways to find cheaper wedding invitations and typically do not suggest evites. However, evites are a money saving and environmentally friendly way of sending invitations. Money is not spent on the actual paper and postage and paper is not used.
Wedding websites also create a forum for women to criticize and judge each other. If a woman sees something she does not like on another woman's website, she will not use that idea for her wedding or the use of a certain company's service.
Website etiquette can become complicated when it comes to what information can be put on the personal site. Putting a gift registry on the website is looked down upon by some experts. Couples can put the registry on the websites but let the guests find it themselves. Couples are not to put events that not all guests are invited to on the website, such as the engagement party or wedding shower.
