[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the better question here is -- who on earth are you people that are still using EVITE ??????

I don't even know the last time we received an evite - my kids have either come with a paper invitation, or the parent has emailed or texted me a Canva/graphic invitation. Either way, RSVPs have all been "RSVP Sarah at xxx-xxx-xxxx". That's pretty standard nowadays - I have 6 and 9 year olds.[/quote]

(Raises hand) - ME!  Why? Because it's free.  I'm too cheap to pay for Paperless Post or whatever all nonsense you're talking about.  Evite it is.

And to answer the original question, I don't hide the guest list because I tend to do smaller parties and I want everyone to see who else was invited so they don't talk to someone else about it and hurt their feelings.  My kids prefer having 5 of their friends vs 105.  [/quote]

Paperless Post/Canva/PicMonkey - all of those are free for the basic functions you need to create a quick invitation. I, personally, really dislike Evite because of how much they spam me about stuff. I know a lot of other people do, too. Can you people please get with the times and just email or text an invitation?

Or maybe the folks who use evite care more about the event management functionality (ie easily managing the replys) as opposed to just the design of the invitation which is what programs like Canva offer.[/quote]

Yeah evite gives me a headcount for number adults and number children and sends auto reminders and tell me if people have viewed my invitation. If for some reason there's a last minute change, like the plumbing broke at a venue (wish I didn't have that experience) I can quickly contact everyone who is coming. It now let's you do text messages, too. Plus it saved my addresses from last year's party.

So much easier than keeping track of rest messages.

I have hidden the guest list in the past for other people's privacy. It's less important now that parties are becoming smaller.[/quote]
