I know the host can see when I've opened it, so I wait until I'm able to check the family calendar, ask my kid if he wants to go, and ask my spouse if there's anything pending that hasn't made the calendar yet.

Evites are cursed, no matter what I do it seems I can’t get them to land in my inbox.

If you use evite you have to do a sweep after a few days and send personal emails to the unopened ones. Just paste the evite link in the email. It only takes five minutes.

Quite possible that I've just missed it.

I have thousands (20K+) of unread emails. I get 100-150 personal emails a day, plus 50-100 for work. I manage a zero inbox for my job but it is absolutely beyond me to do so for personal email.

I would love to go to your party! My kid would love to go! We just missed the invitation.

One year evite went to spam when for the other five years it didn't. My kid missed 3 birthday parties and I missed a brunch. I'm sure people thought we were rude.

Yes, you can see that they viewed it. Lots of people view it and don’t rsvp. What I don’t understand is when people don’t open the invitation at all.

Has it occurred to you ... wait for this ... that they didn't SEE it?

Ugggh you can’t take these evites nowhere

Buried or unopened because they’re waiting to open it when they’re near a calendar and can check if they’re free on the date and then forgotten.

Is the Evite just buried in their emails?

I am the type to open, delete or file emails. I know some people have thousands of unread emails.

Buried or in a weird gmail tab.

I had a period of time when I got NO evites. Wasn’t in my spam, or junk or whatever other places.

They went into the evite ether.

Text follow up is good.

Yes, some don’t open it the second time.

You can resend to those who have not replied. Again and again and again.

Or you could call and ask if they have seen your evite.

They get buried in my emails.
