Email was my thought to.
Maybe you could do a little animated .gif. I hear those were popular in 1998.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita !, what happened with the meeting? Did your migraine specialist get to contribute, and they just didn't listen?
I don't know! The nice nurse checked my files and couldn't find anything to indicate they'd been updated with a new mandate since last weekend, and my migraine specialist hasn't gotten back to me since Friday, at which point he hadn't been able to reach the ER head. That's why nice nurse (seriously!) is emailing her too, on my behalf.
Does anyone have recommendations for a way to send online invitations that are nice and just have people RSVP to me (not go to Evite or whatever), for free or cheap?
Do you want to make some sort of image in Word or Powerpoint or a graphics program and embed it into an email and mail it? I'd hate you forever if you did that, but I don't see you making an HTML email to send out, because that's more complicated. Even so, you have no guarantee that they'll see it as intended, because they might just get text emails.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No.

Phew.

Right, me neither, and that is also my fear. Which is why I put this out to the group -- is there any good solution for emailing something that looks pretty and doesn't require clicking through or signing up for anything?
If the answer is no, I may go back to hand-written note cards.

I don't see how there could be. I mean, either you do HTML in an email (depends on your client and theirs playing nice together), or you type a plain text email, or you send them a link.
Am I leaving out anything?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Charming. I'd come to your party just because you did that.

Jesse,
can you just design a pretty webpage and attach a google docs form link to it?

If she has a pretty webpage, she can send it as an HTML e-mail with a little fiddling.
What about using Stationery in Outlook or finding an HTML e-mail template to adapt?

I like handwritten note cards. But we've had a few get lost on the recipients end this go round. ita, I was going to send an invite to you, but the thought of forcing preschoolers on you seemed cruel. Even if there were champagne.
