Have you ever wished there were a great way to effectively manage all of your party invitations? Have you dreamed of everybody RSVPing without you having to call to follow up? Wouldn’t it be cool if your guests could see which of their friends were attending, so that they could plan accordingly? Well, thanks to some really neat Internet-based tools, what was once merely wishful thinking has now become reality.
Evite.com is a website that is dedicated to solving your party invitation problems. Through this website, a hostess can invite guests, create a customizable and thematic invitation, attach an interactive map to the invitation, monitor guest responses, and encourage guests to invite their friends. In addition, www.evite.com offers entertaining tips and ideas to personalize your event or just to jog your party planning thought process. How cool is that?!
How Does It Work?
Evite.com offers simple to follow instructions on its website that will walk you through the process. Pick from a variety of thematic invitations to fit your party’s theme. Add the text information --- time, date, location, a short blurb about the event, even hotel information --- and then add your guests’ information. Evite.com allows you to import your guests’ email addresses directly from Outlook, aol.com, yahoo.com and many other popular email servers.
What’s In It For Me?
The reason that consumers love this website is that it automates everything related to inviting your guests. No longer does a hostess have to shop for trendy invitations and matching envelopes, handwrite each of them, and pay for postage. The host also does not need to be concerned whether the invitation was actually delivered or if it ended up in some postal carrier’s garage (for those readers from the Chicago area!).
What’s In It For Evite.com?
This service is offered for FREE to anyone who wants to use it. That’s correct – all of this convenience is yours at no cost! However, evite.com obviously needs to be profitable, and hence the website is inhabited by a variety of advertisements. A consumer can certainly choose to ignore the ads; however, they are very present throughout the website. If you are not comfortable with the ad placement or the type of advertisements used on evite.com, there are other options available to you. Sendomatic.com offers a site that’s very similar in functionality to Evite.com, without the advertisements. Sendomatic.com allows you to create and manage an invitation for up to 4 people at no charge. If you wish to send the invitation to 5 or more people, there is a nominal charge that’s scalable to the number of invitees.
As you’re planning your next event and thinking about invitations, take a look at these two websites. They may be the answer to your needs.
