Whenever me and my other half plan a party, we never argue over the guest-list, we never quibble over the venue, and we never, never, never disagree over the choice of food or drink. Yet the one thing we do complain about is which one of us will sit down and write out the invites.
Well, let’s face it! It takes a lot of
time and
effort to compose a list of invitations, especially if the party is going to be big! For a start, you have to go out and
physically purchase the correct form of invitation, which can generally be variable at best. Then you have to pull out your
address book, your
mobile phone, or anything else you use to
store peoples names and addresses, and one by one,
write them down in a neat and orderly fashion, which can be very time-consuming, to say the least. And finally, you have to go to the post office and send out your invites using an appropriate
delivery method, which in this day and age can be quite expensive.
Still, what else can we do? What other
approach can we possibly take to inform people about an up and coming
wedding,
christening,
funeral, or
festive celebration? After all,
telepathy has been relegated to the
comic books,
holographic projections have been marginalized within the
Star Wars Universe, and no way in a million years will you ever see me go out into the
streets and pretend to be a
Town-crier!
Having said that, though, just the other day I came across another approach of sending out invites! An approach, I hasten to add, called
Paperless Post, which basically is an
online portal where you can
design,
compose, and
send off as many invitations as you like at a click of a button. All you have to do is...
- Go to www.paperlesspost.com.
- Sign up using your email address, your google account, or your facebook page.
- Select the type of invite you want to send, such as birthday, funeral, etc...
- Choose the style and design of the invite from the search facility available.
- Customise it accordingly with appropriate images, text, or map.
- Compose a list of people you want to send this invite to.
- Schedule it.
- Send.
- And relax.
Trust me, I found this to be a pretty
simple and straightforward procedure to follow, and I personally loved
browsing through the different styles of invitation and manipulating them so they would somehow represent
me, the
event, or a
common theme. You might also like to know that
Paperless Post has a
downloadable app for you to use on your
mobile phone. So go on, check it out when you can, but not until you have a look at the images provided to see how versatile it truly is. This includes invites focused on...
