   I despise the people who send out those texts and write "I would like to personally invite you to a shalom Zachor"....

   Really? Personally? A mass text to 750 people is "personal"??

   I refuse to go to any simcha that invites me via text.

   Disgusting thing to do.

   Pick up a phone and make a phone call.

   I personally would call, but if you want to ALSO post a "flyer" at Shul, I did the following:

   With grateful hearts filled with much joy
   We're blessed with a new baby boy.
   To celebrate our great delight
   Please join with us on Friday night
   As we welcome our new little bochur
   At the _____ Mishpacha's Sholom Zochor.

   (give address and time)

   My wording was a little different, but you get the idea...
   mazel tov and much nachas as you are zocheh l'gadlo l'Torah, l'chuppah, ul'maasim tovim.

    @achosid
    from your attitude I assume were you never involved in the hassle,stress, tears and drama when a baby is born especially a boy and the preparations it requires.
    People are emotionally are on their last string, no time for thinking to much about how others feel with a "personal invite via mass texting / emailing"
    So people don't care you the one losing out not going and enjoying cakes and goodies after your friday night meal.......
