In this day and age with google maps, map quest, garmin, magellan... do you think I still need to put driving directions in with my invitations? Or is it enough to just give them an address and have them google it?|||Everyone does not have computers and they will often misplace the direction if they print them out. If it is on the invite they will take it with them. before they take a plain piece of paper. People have a lot going on so that would be great if you did.|||Im giving directions, with the invite. I think it is appreciated by all when they dont have to do the extra work.
Good luck with whatever you choose.|||Yes, I think it would be just fine. You gotta think some people don't use the compute and just find it easier to have it right there on the invitation. All and all, it can never hurt to have directions on the invitations..the easier the better for your guests.
Good luck and congrats!!|||For the older computer illiterate people you are inviting absolutely. I could never expect my grandparents to use map quest or google maps. I think its just a nice touch to have them in there just so people know where they are going and don't have to take time out of Their busy schedule to look up directions to Your event. :0)|||Depends on how traditional you are. If you are traditional, you may want to include them. But if you are looking at the cost of them, etc., it might be more intelligent not to include them.|||Put the directions in the invite. I'm sure you've noticed that sometimes those map sites don't always give the most logical or best directions to somewhere. Be nice to your guests, and help them out by telling them how to avoid traffic, or where new construction is.|||Yes, provide directions. Grandma may not use the Internet.|||In my experience, Mapquest takes the longest possible route.
Think of yourself as a guest. Would you prefer to do all the work yourself of looking up directions or would you rather that there was a direction card included? Most invites I have received don't include directions and that is fine but if you are able to offer it, why not do it?
I received an invite to a wedding awhile back (that was improper all the way around) that included in a very lavish invite with a Mapquest map printed on notebook paper folded inside. There is no reason that you can't make the direction cards look nice.
Alot of people are still computer illiterate, especially older folks, and they wouldn't know how to get there. And some folks do have computers may not have internet.
Just because you can do something, doesn't always mean you should. Be nice to your guests and include directions.|||Give them the instructions. Not everybody has internet.|||Create a web page, put some Adsense ads on it, sign-up for Google referal program, put the link to the page in the invitations, and once they visit it, they'd have to click through to the google maps, earning you income. Add a few more affiliate programs for 0% balance transfer credit cards, and you might get your wedding paid for
;)|||I think that directions are a thoughtfull addition to an invitation. However it can be costly to add on - depending on your budget. Do what feels right in the end - you can always print them off yourself and add it to the envelope later.|||Directions to the ceremony site and/or the reception site should be mailed to those people who respond YES to your wedding invitation.
Why? Because not everyone has access to a computer, especially those people who are over fifty years old and have never heard of yahoo or google or mapquest.
PLUS . . your wedding invitation is a piece of social stationery. Fifty things should not fall out of it when your guests open the envelope.

I did cute little maps for the out of town guests. You can show the chruch, reception hall, rehersal dinner location and even points of interest or close hotels.|||I think it's still useful- most older people are not that comfortable with these technologies. My brother in law did not include directions, and Mapquest sent everyone the wrong way, causing a lot of people to be late to the wedding. Better safe than sorry!|||Give directions with the invite. Not everyone is computer savvy and knows how to use the internet to look up stuff. Plus, but having it with the invite, there's less chance of them losing the directions.|||Yes, if I were to do it again I would definetly include directions especially if the address is sort of hidden or hard to find.
Half of my guest list got lost.
Good Luck and Congratulations.|||If you print out your own maps you can ad landmarks that google cannot. For example on our maps we added the name of the huge car dealership next to the reception hall and a yellow M for the McDonalds that was next to the small church. It just makes it easier for people.|||I think it would be a good idea to have directions to the wedding as I have not known a wedding that I have either been to or not that hasn't had directions to it. what if they can't google it or find it and they get so confused and frustrated that they don't turn up at all. make it easier for them to come not harder.|||Yes i think it is!
