I have blogged about evite<\/a> in the past and now I have to mention it again.<\/p>\n

Traditionally people organize events by sending emails to everybody, having private one-on-one conversations for specific things, and at the end, if it is a big event, you don’t know who is going, who is bringing what etc…<\/p>\n

There are several online tools that help you out when organising events. The most notable is evite<\/a>, but there are many others, like mypounchbowl<\/a>, and other more niche doing specific things like doodle<\/a> (simple but efficient to decide a specific time) or aimado<\/a> (if you want to charge for the event\/concert or whatever).<\/p>\n

Evite, if you have used it through time, you know is a headache with tons of advertising, spamming you often and even you it is powerful because it let you create lists of things to bring to a meeting, for me it is not an option. In fact there is plenty of ads free clones\/alternatives like\u00a0Socializr<\/a> and\u00a0Anyvite<\/a>, and even a site for alternatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If most of your friends are in Facebook, then you can organize an event with facebook<\/a>, it has the familiar interface and it is pretty good.<\/p>\n

If you want to try something new, then try paperless post<\/a>, a with a nice\u00a0design with visually stunning results.<\/p>\n

Paperless Post does not accept advertising.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paperless Post makes its money through pricing units called \u201cstamps.\u201d If you buy a batch of 20, they\u2019re 20 cents each; if you buy 300 or more, they\u2019re 5 cents apiece. It takes one stamp to e-mail each invitation. (Using a special \u201cenvelope liner,\u201d which looks like the ones in a stationery store, requires a second stamp; affixing a photograph to each invitation requires another.)<\/p>\n

Even if you add every conceivable extra to your stack of online invitations, the cost of each remains tiny, measured in nickels.<\/p>\n

If Paperless Post succeeds in persuading hosts of wedding parties and other formal events that its e-mail invitations are the equal of printed ones, its future seems bright indeed. This is where the company\u2019s initial efforts are concentrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
