The short answer
Digital wedding invitations are far cheaper (often free), update instantly, track RSVPs automatically, and can check guests in at the door. Paper feels more formal and keepsake-worthy but costs $3–$10+ per guest and can't track anything. Many couples now send digital and order a few paper keepsakes.
