[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is one of the new norms.

And as parents, guests of different generations, relatives and young people  getting married  - we all are straddling traditions, marrying into different cultures/race/nationalities/religions, realities of modern life, inflation, environmentalism, individualism, breaking of familial roles and structures, technology - and so anything goes.

My kid sent out 'save the date' and her 'invitations' digitally. I then had to send a PDF version to my relatives and friends on WhatsApp, texts, FB message etc.   My friends and relatives did not want to click on the link to RSVP on the wedding website.  They were calling me on the phone.  It was madness till the very end.

After the wedding... I marked all the guests that would get the handwritten notes from my DD.  I had bought the cards, addressed the envelops, put the stamps.  I had to hunt down people to ask for their mailing address.   DD took a few months to send it out.   I think it only went to folks who were our age group (around 100 thank you notes. We had 300 guests).

For the rest of her and the groom's friends - I think the website sends a digital "thank you" note or something.  I was told that no one has the time for that anymore.

Gift registry? No gift registry? Cash? Venmo? Check? Cultural norms. How to phrase it? We went through all of this.
