Dialogue: You Better Hand Deliver My Invite!

It may be strange that I was inspired to write this post based on an episode of American Chopper, but I was. There was an episode where the dad was talking about how important it was to get his invitation to Jason's (one of his employees) wedding personally instead of it being mailed to him.

Anyone watch this show? My husband loves it!

 This got me thinking because back when I was mailing out my invitations I wanted to deliver it by mail to everyone, even my parents. One of our groomsman told me he didn't want to give me his address because he wanted his hand delivered because he expected to see my fiance soon and I flipped a gasket. (probably because this groomsman and I never got along) In my mind at the time, I felt like all invites had to be mailed for formality. I thought, "Well, this is not like a birthday party in elementary school where I hand deliver all my invites to my friends. My wedding was more special than that!"

Of course, looking back, I see things differently. Especially after that American Chopper episode. Now I see that it would have been more special to hand deliver my invites to my parents, my close friends, and those who I saw often. (You also get a little bit of savings in postage!)

Yeah, I now wish I hand delivered my invite to my parents for sure. I imagine I could have had meaningful moment handing it to my daddy. :(

What did you do or what are you going to do with the invites to those close to you? What do you think about the formality or the informality of hand delivering invitations?
