For many years people relied on sending paper invitations to their guests. Paper is nice, but there are some things that paper invitations cannot do.
- You can not send paper invitations to the wrong email address. You may confuse Bill Anderson, your accountant, with Bill Andresson, your neighbor, when looking up their email addresses to send emailed invitations.. I’m pretty sure your neighbor will be more fun at your party than your accountant.
- A paper invitation will not get automatically moved to your email’s spam folder and get lost. Did you know that the most opened piece of paper mail delivered are invitations? An invitation sent through the mail will not be stamped “spam” as unwanted mail without you knowing about it.
- Have you heard about the computer virus going around that looks, at the start, like an emailed invitation? When you click on a link in the email to see the invitation details, you are taken to an unscrupulous website and a virus is loaded onto your computer. A paper invitation won’t do that.
- What does your email inbox look like? Are there hundreds or thousands of emails that are unread and waiting for your attention? Is there an electronic invitation to a party that was held last week in there? A paper invitation won’t get lost in your computer’s inbox.
- If your inbox is looking pretty good and you are on top of everything that is coming in, do you read and remember everything as it arrives? Have you ever been distracted while going through your inbox and forgot what you just read? A paper invitation, because it is something that you can keep and post on your bulletin board or refrigerator will not be forgotten easily.
P.S. OK, you’ve figured it out – I think paper invitations are far, far better than emailed invitations. I thought it was kind of interesting to look at it from a different angle. Did you?
P.P.S. There’s just something wonderful about paper – so many things these days are on the computer or smartphone – to actually touch something and have it to refer to are just great. I’ll write more about this soon.
P.P.P.S. Oh, find some great invitations at PolyGraphics.com

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.
