Before everyone gets so excited about such “alternative” invites, I have to be a stick-in-the-mud and ask why people are so bored and jaded with paper invites? I personally am so happy to receive any letter in the mail that is not a bill or junkmail, and I really don’t need to read about a joyous event on something that could also be used to promote a new confectionary business. The joy of opening a thin, crisp, hand-addressed invite is really a wonderful thing. Your wedding invite will be memorable to me because *you* are getting married, not because you sent it to in a strange, over-the-top manner.

Besides, how is your scrapbooking Aunt Ann supposed to put that sucker (hah) in her latest book?

My friend did have cookies at her shower with her and her fiance’s picture on them. It was entirely too creepy to me and I choose to eat cake instead.

It looks like a really cute idea, but the reality probably isn’t so sweet. (Hee!)

However… I did enjoy a nice little cruise around that website. They have some adorable (reusable) decals for walls and mirrors and refrigerator doors.

I’m with Toni, here. Cool and fun in theory, but kind of impractical in practice.

Besides, I can’t be the only one who imagines that a warm day or two in transit (or sitting on a table or in a mailbox if the intended recipient is out of town when it arrives) could lead to a melted lollipop and an unreadable invitation.

I would stick to making invitations pretty but easily (and more cheaply) transported and put that money into another aspect of the wedding.

This is another one of those things where it’s super fabulous *in theory* but I think that even if you had the money to fritter away, it could be used in some much more impressive manner. Heck, just having (overpriced) Monogrammed cookies as reception favors would be miles less pricey.
