The culture of inviting people to events is not a new concept; it has been around since the days of the town crier; when written invitations were not yet a thing.
Through the years, various methods have been used to invite people to attend meetings and events; the town crier, the muezzin’s call, the bonfire, word of mouth, letters/ written invitations, etc. in present times, the SMS is used as an important tool for sending out invitations to various events, ranging from church services, birthday celebrations, etc.
Why SMS is Preferred for Invitation, Instead of an Invitation Card.
The invitation card for a long while has been a staple in the invitation market. It is not uncommon to see a couple planning their wedding ceremony, printing invitation cards. But with the amount of time and stress that goes into it, is it really worth it? SMS is a more convenient tool to use in sending out invitations.
First of all, they consume less time, all you literally need to do is type your message. Secondly, they are a cheaper alternative; you do not have to pay for a printer or pay for scented papers. Thirdly, it is less stressful, because you can deliver all of them at one click, instead of paying for delivering or having to go house to house to deliver them yourself.
