- tip of the day
- Remember evites from way back when?
- the bite
- It was a different time. E-invitation sites offered boring greetings so impersonal, they sorta made you wanna kill a tree. The next gen of ecard sites help you get social without eliciting groans from everyone on your guest list.
- the benefits
-
- Getting down without cutting down trees. The biggest evite site, Evite.com, manages 450,000 invites monthly - just imagine if all those invites were on paper.
- Party planning assistance. New sites help you organize guest lists, and some have cool features such as texting your invitees when it's time for them to head over.
- More cash for piñatas. Paper invites can cost a few bucks apiece after postage. Our picks are (mostly) free.
- personally speaking
- Check the blog for a couple JibJab cards that feature the Bite team that - in our humble opinion - are absolutely hi-larious.
- wanna try?
-
- JibJab - cackle-worthy ecards that let you put your face atop animated characters (the first card's free, then you gotta pay).
- MyPunchbowl - helps you choose the right date and a theme, and plan out all the deets (such as who's bringing the Jell-O fruit mold to your Battleship-playing night).
- Pingg - sweet invite designs, plus it'll text-message invitees a reminder with the address a couple hours before the event.
- Skobee - good for events that need input from different people, such as a road trip or multifamily getaway, since invites include built-in maps and a convo center where everyone can put in their two cents.
