Paper is passe. There, I said it. It’s also highly likely that using expressions like ‘passe’ is passe, but I’m from Generation X. We cling to our ways like moss to a stone.
Point being, inviting friends and family to events via snail mail is no longer the most effcient way of getting things done. The latest, greatest way to keep your nearest and dearest in the loop- be it regarding a hens night, a new baby, a wedding, or even simply a ‘girls night in’- is via your own personal event website. Peepsakes provide the perfect templates for you to go ahead and design the ideal website for your event.
Sure, you could post photos of your new baby on facebook- but then, of course, they’re available to a far broader community than you might like. People can share your photos without your permission, and pass comment unsolicited. A personal web page allows you to post directly to a hand picked audience, who are there for the sole purpose of sharing in the joy of your new arrival. Likewise, wedding planning and updates are made that much simpler when, rather than keeping a complex network of guests in the loop, you are able to notify guests with one simple update on your website.
Event websites additionally permit a higher level of personal involvement and interaction with your guests. For example, in the event of a new baby, you might like to include on your website a baby naming poll (though brace yourself for some less than tactful commentary from your family and closest friends!). It’s a fun way to create a true spirit of togetherness and festivity. Try achieving the same in a newspaper birth announcement, or a facebook update that’s quickly buried amongst a thousand mundane posts!
