Online
invitations make something
useful out of
virtual cards. It's one of the few
neat things on the
web that can actually
make your life easier. Basically, online invitations are e-cards that also have
RSVP buttons, at the least; better sites also have
discussion areas for the guests,
polls, selectable lists of stuff to bring, automatically-generated
maps, etc. This way you can divide up the food for a
potluck, find out how many people are coming and whether they want to bring others with them, arrange
carpools, decide what
video/
activity/
destination everyone wants, etc. Very handy! (The only catch, of course, is that a significant number of your potential guests must be
WWW-users.) The problem in picking a site is that the ones that have good
graphics seem not to have good
functionality, and
vice versa. My top pick for both is currently
senada.com ... others include:
-
mambo.com
-
evites.com
-
sendomatic.com
-
invites.
yahoo.com
-
YNot.com
Party time!
