An Age of Magic

The ‘email invite’

Haven’t times changed with the advent of the internet? how many people these days bother to write a letter to a friend on the other side of the world? who can be bothered to wait over a week for it to arrive and then about three weeks for a reply to come back…?

Today we use the ‘email’ and the old way of writing a letter and posting it at the post office - called snail mail - is falling into history. It is a shame in many ways as a personally handwritten letter is much nicer to receive than an email I always think.

Even the way you issue party invitations has changed; we received a wedding invitation a year back - not via the postman, but by email. The couple emailed all their wedding invites. You have to admit this is a much cheaper option than the ‘old way’ - anyone recall just how expensive custom made invites were? and how much time it took to write them up and then post them off…?

Yes, the email-way has taken hold for sure; but you cannot make a souvenir out of an email invite can you?
