Compile addresses
Compile a list of e-mail addresses early in the planning process. Double check for spelling to be sure they get to their intended recipients.

Step 2
Customize
Use publishing software to customize an e-mail or attachment to fit your wedding theme and create a strong presentation -- or look online for a template.
-
Step 3
Study other invitations
Study other wedding invitations you like to get the basic format and include the date, time, and location of your wedding in your design.

Step 4
Send links
Take advantage of e-mail's capability to send links for hotel information, maps, and even your own wedding website.

Step 5
Use a coordinator
Have a family member or friend function as a correspondence coordinator, keeping track of RSVPs, answering questions, and responding to bounced e-mails so you can focus on other details and have a worry-free wedding day.
