Add a couple more features, we might well have LaaS (Life as a Service)
And SaaS (Sex as a Service). The day there's an app for people seeking prostitutes where both parties leave stars and text reviews like Airbnb or Uber will be a weird day.
> It is a cash bar, so please bring sufficient money with you as there is no nearby cash machine. Are guests expected to purchase their own alcohol at their wedding?
British weddings start around 1 or 2pm, while US weddings are just the evening. A full day with an open bar would be insane.
This is what would be expected in the UK, so nobody would be upset about it.

Glad you followed up with "in my opinion". All in all sounds very preachy to me. Either way, this sounds like a way you say it vs. what you said argument. I'd rather have someone share a special moment in their life with me than worry about wasting 10 minutes writing an invitation. Plus as stated else where one can pay a company to handwrite notes for you.
I think writing all these programs and functions, setup everything etc. in total it takes longer than just doing it 'by hand'..

Only 1 person RSVPed as no so it doesn't seem like anyone got the impression we d…
I'd love it if I didn't get dead tree invitations. I have nowhere to put them and I feel bad throwing them away. And also of course, dead trees.

That's a good chance to set the tone on how you'll intend to live life from now on. Many people seem fall back to tradition, succumb to pressure and go against their own values when the wedding comes around: Spending too much on the event, diamond ring, church ceremony despite being non-religious, doing a traditional celebration instead of something individual and fun, or geeky like OP.
Counterpoint: it's also worth considering the costs of breaking with tradition. I mean, sure, nobody has to get married. But then you might not get custody rights over your children. It might be more difficult to pick your kids up from school. Perhaps it will complicate inheritance. You won't get the tax breaks. You'll have to explain your relationship every time you're introduced to more traditional people, which mi…
Or in the case of a lot of folks like myself, it's worth it to break tradition to avoid jumping into a higher tax bracket due to the marriage penalty [1].
