# 16: MAILBOX

The 16th May-Photo-A-Day: "MAILBOX"

This is an image of my mailbox taken from this morning: 54 emails. There is nothing really that great to be read in any of the 54 emails and most of them will be deleted without me even opening them. Sometimes you find awesome gems in your mailbox like the latest free design vector or fonts, or a great bargain buy, or a trendy new eatery/drinkery to visit from one of the many cool blogs and sites I have subscribed to. But I should read more of these because it was one of these emails last year that advertised super affordable air tickets to Paris and it allowed Te and I to live our "Parisian lifestyle dream" as well as made for THE MOST romantic and perfect  proposal... "swoon" 

- I really like the definition of this word: 

"To be overwhelmed by ecstatic joy"... 

and JOYOUS I am to becoming TheFutureMrsOrpen!

Technology: I love that I have been apart of the generation that has grown up with the evolving technology we have become so reliant on in todays world. One day we will be able to tell our kids about the Nokia brick, the evolution from sending and recieving post to sending and receiving email's, the birth of social and professional online networking, how you no longer needed to leave you house to do your shopping - a few clicks, pay and your groceries and goodies will be delivered to your door, how our diaries and journals we kept under our beds transformed into blog posts that anyone could read, anywhere in the world... just to name a few.

Gone are the days where everything needed to be printed on paper and that is exactly what we won't be doing, printing our "Save The Date" and "Wedding Invitations", instead we have chosen to have a digital, more eco-friendly kind of wedding. 

Our "Save The Date" is a cute sneak peak of our wedding invitation which we will be emailing to all our lovely guests this weekend... "SWOON": once the invitations are sent,  becoming TheFutureMrsOrpen will be even more real!! 

"Eeekk": of happiness!!! 

We have setup a wedding website using the the app call AppyCouple. It cost us only $28 and was pretty easy to setup and customise. We decided to go with this site because it is code protected which means only our guests who have been given they pin are able to view the site as well as be an important information tool that will be used to manage the RSVP replies from our guests and help our guest find out more about: 

• The Wedding Party
• Our Stories and Adventures
• Travel arrangements: Nearby Accommodation 
• The Events: Ceremony and Reception Details
• Registry

 As well as our guests will be able to use the app on the wedding day to timeline the events. Our friends and loved ones who are unable to be there will be able to view the timeline updates and share our wedding with us from wherever they are.

  

So dearest loved ones, look out for our quirky invitations that will be arriving in your Mailbox "This Fall" aka before June - for some reason I could hear this sentence in my head being said with one of those great movie trailer voices...
