I recently sent in a support ticket to evite about a pretty huge issue with their site. I can’t say what it is – yet – but it’s not a little bug. It’s a huge, massive, gaping issue. Anyway, I get the usual “thank you for your email” auto-response. Then, two hours later, I get [...]

It’s been a good run. We’ve have laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve… ok, mostly just cried. What’s up with evite? I swear, the only thing that the evite does is make the service worse. The last Seattle Anti-Freeze event was the last straw. A few days before the event, messages we tried to send would silently [...]

I usually don’t cross-post Seattle Anti-Freeze events, but this one’s for a good cause… Drink for the Cure / Bid for the Cure – Charity AuctionOct 1, 2008 at 8pm (Location TBD – Belltown / Downtown) Every three minutes, a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer.

Several months ago, I evaluated a number of evite alternatives out there. It’s a crowded space, and lots of new sites have popped up since. Here’s a new one that contacted me via a blog comment: BRADvite. Without looking at the comment again, I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say his [...]

It wasn’t great, but it kind-of-sort-of did the trick. There were two versions that I used for Seattle Anti-Freeze:1) [...]

When it comes to planning large events (1000+ people invited, 200+ people attending), Evite just doesn’t cut it. Heck, it’s never great, but it really suffers on large, paid events. So, what are my options? I’ve evaluated the following: Evite, Socializr, MyPunchBowl, Zoji, Renkoo, Problem Description: I’m looking for an invite application for planning large [...]

Over the past few months, I’ve noticed more and more people using other services for invitations – not necessarily instead of, but rather in addition to. I, myself, use both evite and facebook for invitations – every party I throw has an invite on both services. Evite gets more quick responses – that makes some [...]

Evite frustrates me. There are lots of bugs in the messages and hassles in using it, but the real issue is that I have to get an exception to organize an event with more than 750 people invited. I’ve gotten the exception so far, but it’s on a case-by-case basis and at point they might [...]
