I am hosting a website with weddingwindow and you can create an email list, send as many e-announcements as you want. You can even send an email to let people know that you have new info on your site! If you are trying to save money, you could have people RSVP on your site or have them call you if they don't use the internet. MY FI was totally for this idea and it could work depending on your group. The site is inexpensive and easy to use! Highly recommended for DWs. There are some free websites too- don't know a ton about them, but mine cost $99.
I decided to skip the paper STD- but if you wanted to do that I think it is really cute when people send a magnet... there are a ton of places to get them made online and they are pretty cheap- you can even get magnet paper from Staples and print them yourself. Then just use that adhesive to attach it to a notecard and send them off! Hope that helps. Good luck!

I love your invitations! Sooo cute! I would love to get the details from you...paper resources, sizes, etc...! Did you use starfish & airplane stamps?
Thanks!

I put together a "how to" sheet for anyone who wants to make these invites! It is pretty detailed so beware. And let me know if I am missing anything.
Good Luck! It is pretty easy once you get going.
