So over the years ive noticed more and more people just using shitty invitations made using word/publisher, Is this becoming a standard?

Who gives a fuck about the invitation as long as it contains the important info?

Yeah, I need more info. What kind of invitations are we talking about? And why am I not getting any? >.>

Like party invitations. My line of thinking is that rather than waste paper on your crappily made invitation, why not just tell me the details.

People give out party invitations? Most people I know would just ring someone up or send a text.

One of the alternatives is that you don't get invited, you know. What do you expect people to use, though? Not everyone is creatively driven with access to whizzbang applications.
 
Side note: "whizzbang" is totally fine in the eyes of the spell checker.

I haven't invited people to a party since I was 12 and I'm 21 so I'm a bit out of the invitation "scene"

Either way they've been kind enough to invite you to something no need to be an ass about it. =/

What's wrong with that?  Why are those "shitty"?  It sounds like you care more about how much was spent on the invitation than what you're being invited to.

I thought the topic said "innovations" and was expecting a thread bitching about regenerating health. This is somehow worse.

For my 18th Birthday Party I made a series of cards that read like key cards. 
 
They were narrow at 1inch by 5 inches. Each one had a barcode, and all the information on one side and said Brad's Pool Hall Party on the other side. They were even individually laminated. Man I was excited and creative. And everyone had their own name typed on it as well.
