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'..

Well now you have some source code to start with :)

I doubt writing all the notes which people send out, of which there are a few batches (invites, RSVP, thanks), could be less than writing this, which isn't much more than sample twilio and a database, and reusing it for each letter "event".

Depends totally on the amount of people invited. When you start coming close to 500, you don't want to do everything by hand...
