BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters send ten evites instead of paper invites, we'll save more than ten trees.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

In a 2003 NY Times article, Evite.com reported that 63% of people actually respond to their e-invitations.

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.
