Online wedding invitations are definitely not for everyone but they are a new trend that is developing within the wedding industry. They are a great eco-friendly alternative that can also reduce your overall wedding costs. I would still recommend sending your grandparents and other family members or elder guests a paper wedding invitation. However, it is important to remember that today's generation has grown up completely immersed in a world full of technology. Therefore, your friends would probably be the perfect audience to send a tree free wedding invitation to.
Two companies, both currently still in Beta, which are beginning to draw a lot of attention are Cocodot and Paperless Post. They offer chic, eco-friendly online wedding invitations so you won't have to sacrifice style. Paperless Post even delivers the invitation through a virtual envelope to mimic the process of opening up a paper invitation. (See how it works here). If you are looking to cut down on wedding expenses and are open to green alternatives I would definitely recommend checking these companies out.
