I don't see it as being tacky since it's immediate family members she text it to , ( I assume she felt that she have the kind of family that would not be offended from it), it probably was more convenient for her to text than hand deliver.
"I usually tell my immediate family to just let me know when & where the event is ,how I get the information is not a issue .
BTW, my friend text me that she was giving her husband a small surprise birthday party last month and looked forward to seeing me and dh there . I replied "Yes ,we will be there " I didn't find it tacky because we have that kind of relationship.

This thread has been entertaining to read on such a dreary evening.
Here's my opinion: I personally don't care if someone calls, texts, emails, mails an invite by certified mail or sends a singing telegram as an invitation. 
I usually just send a gift along with my best wishes for whatever the occasion is and skip the event in most cases because I'm a hermit.

The last sentence is the key ... it depends on the relationship.

Oh my goodness...I remember when he was born and what a little fighter he was! Congratulations.
How many people remember when my first grandchild (T.J., the little genius) was born? I was so excited to finally be a grandmother. Well, I am still excited and this May/June when the twins are born...we will have SEVEN grandchildren. Not bad considering we only have two children.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.

Sorry I haven't responded sooner, a lot going on around here. Anyway I have no idea who is throwing the shower, I got a text from the one having the baby inviting me. Then I got the other text asking about RSVP from another sister. I told her I was expecting an invitation that is when I was told that she didn't send them to immediate family. I heard that the other sister got upset and yelled at her for sending texts out, so it wasn't just me expecting a paper one.
I have tried since dh and I have been married to have some kind of a relationship with his sisters but I found out a while ago I was wasting my time so I have kinda just let it go. Dh has 4 sisters, I am not close with any of them.
I could not imagine not sending out invites to a baby shower, especially with it taking them a long time to get preg and how they are so excited about it. If I could not afford to send out the extra 3 stamps I would hand them to them. It isn't like we live far away, we live about a mile from them. The other sisters live within 5 minutes from her.
I see everyone's side on this but I still think a written invite would be better, no matter how close we are. I have the ones from my sisters wedding and baby shower, I guess I am really sentimental.
My mom...gone but not forgotten
