Send Them An E-Vite

One free web service I've been using and enjoying for the past few months is evite. If you regularly host parties and you're not familiar with this service, I recommend you try it out.

In a nutshell, it works like a personal party planner, without the cost of printing or mailing invitations through the regular postal service. It allows you to work out your party specifics, invite guests who receive your email invitation, organize who is bringing what--just to name a few of the many features. It even helps you send eCard thank you notes after the event.

You are able to choose from tons of very nice looking pre-made invitations. For example, I recently hosted a book chat at my house, and was able to find an invitation specifically for that theme!

Guests simply respond online and their RSVP and message are posted.

One of the features I really like is you know what guests are bringing if you're having a potluck, which helps guests avoid coming with duplicate treats. Everyone who is invited gets to see who's coming, who's not, what they're bringing and other information you ask for. Therefore, everyone is informed.

I'm not in any way affiliated with this service. I've just found it useful and I'm sharing with you. I think it's a super FREE organizing tool!

Hi Maria,

Just want to say that I love your site. I've referred to you and your site on my blog, www.virtualmocha.blogspot.com. Your site has some great information. Thanks for putting it out there.

I co-sign Evite. I've even used it for work (before we got Outlook). It's too tedious to track responses manually when you can use a free tool that does it for you and makes it more fun for everyone else.
