#39: Sending Paper Invitations

The Chicago Tribune likened the decline of paper RSVPs to the obsolescence of the Jell-O mold, highlighting another domain Millennials seem to sidestep. According to iPostParcels, a significant 43% of millennials have never engaged in the once-common practice of sending a handwritten letter through traditional mail.

Emails and digital invites are overwhelmingly favored for their simplicity and reliability. The ease of drafting an email, devoid of the risk of physical loss, resonates with the millennial preference for convenience. This shift underscores a broader trend: despite the medium change, the essential exchange of information persists, adapted to the digital age’s demands.
