- sly010 10y agoI am sure there are APIs for postcards. Heck, there are APIs for handwritten postcards ;)
- ProAm 10y agoYou can also facetime the ceremony if you a groom but still insanely busy working startup life...
- adamfeldman 10y agoLob.com - postcards API
- mandarg 10y agoJust an anecdote, but I tried to use lob.com to send out Save the Dates for my wedding. The couple of test postcards we used did not arrive on time, and the tracking didn't work at all. Their support wasn't good at addressing my specific case – they mostly told me “This is how the website works”. It could have been that I wasn't using it right, but I didn't have the time to troubleshoot. We ended up printing a bunch of cards at FedEx and addressing and sending them by hand. Everything worked smoothly.

- Zikes 10y agoPerhaps a nice card from https://lob.com/ https://lob.com/ with a QR code to the RSVP form?

- rsync 10y ago"Perhaps a nice card from https://lob.com/ https://lob.com/ with a QR code to the RSVP form?" Better to use an Oh By Code, which doesn't need a reader and can be written/read by humans: https://0x.co https://0x.co
- polmuz 10y agoWhy?
- wyck 10y agoNothing says special like sending SMS weddings invites... I think what he means is a wedding is a symbolic event that should be mirrored in all the small details, from the hand written card, to the ring, etc, etc... So ya think about it.

- tehlike 10y agoThat is only if you have a bride/groom still :)
- pjc50 10y ago"Save the date" isn't the actual invitation though. I think it ought to be OK to make it low-key and put the effort into the actual invitations.
