Birthday etiquette

I would like your opinion on this:

Is it improper to send an e-card to family and close friends on their birthday instead of giving them a paper card?  My opinion is that e-cards are more creative and paper cards kill trees.  I would actually prefer e-cards because all I do is throw the paper card away (sorry, recycle) within a week anyway.

In addition, is it improper to send e-vites or e-thanks to people you are inviting to a party or thanking for coming to the party?  I know someone disagrees with me on this (no names), but it saves money, time, and trees.

Now weddings might be different.  What is your opinion about all three when it comes to weddings?

  1. Weddings need paper. period.

    Other parties, depends, e-vites are good enough for most parties, but you have to make sure you are sending them to people who actually check e-mail regularly. I wouldn't be offended by getting e-cards from some people for my b-day, but it's nice to get a few paper ones. If you send e-vites only for a casual party, e-thank yous are fine too, in my opinion. there you have it.
