Who cares about the Post Office?
I think it would be kind of unique to send out wedding invitations by Evite. It’s something different, and no one would expect it. Surely your friends would be talking, and you would probably get responses a lot faster.
Or maybe someone could start a service similar to Evite, specifically for wedding invitations. The invite could link directly to your registries, and easily link people to local hotels.
Just one easy solution to show that we really don’t need the post office anymore. The USPS is planning on closing down several hundred branch offices, and I really don’t see why we would need them anyway. Fed-Ex and UPS are solvent. I can get a post box at several other places, and stamps are easy to sell automatically. Drop off boxes work just fine for me, but I mostly email and work electronically anyway.
So get rid of those post offices. They are just a burden on the national budget anyway.
