Tournament Invitations Electronically

This just shows you the sign of the times as my oldest daughter had her birthday recently and we sent out birthday invitations electronically. We got everyone's email address and asked them to respond within an allotted time frame. Worked like a charm and because it was a small gathering it worked even better as we got responses right away. I'm thinking of doing something similar with a golf tournament that's coming up. By sending out emails to the potential participants early I can then gauge on how many we want to attend and compare to actual numbers, this would be done early. So because I don't have to spend money on postage, time and other miscellaneous things, I can concentrate on other aspects of the tournament as well. Sending off a customized email to each potential participant I believe will be a time saver and free up some time. We'll see.
