Where is the line of formality?
Do you expect to get paper invites for things still, or do you consider evites okay?
If they're okay, where is the line?
Weddings?
Bridal Showers?
Baby Showers?
Bachelorette Parties?
Casual GTGs?

Re: Where is the line of formality?
I think e-vites are fine for casual g2gs. For everything else you listed, a paper invite is appropriate.
I've recently gotten more than one e-vite to a wedding, and it really turns me off. So tacky.
Weddings? - Paper
Bridal Showers? - Paper
Baby Showers? - Paper
Bachelorette Parties? - Paper or Evites
Casual GTGs? - Evites

Weddings? definitely paper
Bridal Showers? paper. But if it's a small enough and young enough crowd, you might be able to get away with it, if it's ok with the bride
Baby Showers? paper. But again, small enough and young enough crowd, you might be able to pull it off, if it's ok with the mom.
Bachelorette Parties? I think evites are ok here. I did evite for mine and my sisters, no one seemed to mind.
Casual GTGs? evites totally fine.
I also think that casual GTGs are the most appropriate, but I understand bachelorette stuff if you're coordinating people who you don't know well/ who are across the country from one another, etc.
I think my line is that if I have to bring a gift, you have to mail me an invitation, or I think it is super tacky.
I also recently got an evite for a wedding. And another paper wedding postcard invite for which I had to RSVP online.
This online poll is brought to you by the evite I got for a baby shower (the second baby shower invite for this person I have received).
Stand up for something you believe in.
Weddings? Expect Paper
Bridal Showers? Expect Paper
Baby Showers? Expect Paper
Bachelorette Parties? evite ok

Weddings? Paper. No post cards though. And I dont like the idea of RSVPing online.
Rehearsal Dinners? (I added one) Paper preferred. Phone call with details is fine but no evites.
Bridal Showers? Paper.
Baby Showers? Paper
Bachelorette Parties? Paper preferred but an evite is fine if there are tons of peeps involved.
Casual GTGs? I'd be fine with an evite. Hell a text would be fine too.
I've been invited to a wedding over FB before....didnt go to that one. Super tacky IMO.
I'm in agreement with all of this. However, depending on the formality of your wedding, I think e-vites for a rehearsal dinner is fine. Our rehearsal dinner was a BBQ at MIL's, so we just spread the invite by word of mouth. Nobody cared. HOWEVER, if the rehearsal dinner is at a restaurant or another place with limited seating, definitely a paper invite and a rsvp
Weddings? paper
Bridal Showers? paper - however if I am hosting I organize over email
Baby Showers? paper
Bachelorette Parties? paper or evite... depends
Casual GTGs? evite or emailThis word for word; if it's expected that I bring you a gift I at least expect a piece of paper inviting me to give you that gift.
