OK, old timer. Evite lets you click a button to put it on your calendar, and it sends you a reminder a couple of days before the event. It lets you keep the info somewhere, unlike paper invites that can get lost in the shuffle. And often you can see who else is attending, in case you want to carpool or your child wants to know who they can and cannot discuss the upcoming party with. It lets you see who has opened the invitation and who hasn't, which can signal to you that it may have gone into their junk folder; it even lets you know if the evite was "undelivered," pointing to perhaps your accidental use of an incorrect email address.

But you go ahead and wait by the mailbox....

I rarely look at spam.
And evites and other invitations always go to my inbox, never to spam. That’s such an excuse people use, lol.

I'm shocked at the people who use that stupid excuse. It is trivial to flag evite/paperless post as "not spam" or "not junk" (depending on the mail client) so that it goes to your InBox instead of to your spam folder.

If you don't bother to do this, then you deserve to be excluded from invitations.
