10 interesting facts about “Invite! RU"

Dear Habrasoobschestvo! We present to your attention the project " Invite! Ru " - a service for planning and organizing events. The opening of the project took place on October 3, 2008. For two and a half months of the site, we have expanded the functionality, and today we want to tell you about the ten most interesting, in our opinion, features of the resource.

1. Web event planner. With the help of " Invite! Ru " users can plan and save as a keepsake any events: holidays, parties, meetings with friends, birthdays, weddings, corporate parties, housewarming, rest and many other events. A calendar of personal events and upcoming holidays will remind the organizer of the planned event.

2. Not a social network. Unlike social networks, invitees do not need to register on the site to communicate with the event organizer, so the organizer can invite family, relatives, friends, colleagues and acquaintances from different cities and countries to their events. Guests need only have an email address (e-mail) and Internet access.

3. Open and closed events. All events that users create or participate in are divided into open and closed. If the event is closed, it will be available only to the organizer and guests. An open event, on the contrary, is visible to everyone and anyone can register for it.

4. Beautiful invitation templates. Creating an invitation begins with the choice of themes and design invitations. To date, our artists have prepared 200 invitation templates with holiday cards and illustrations. If users do not want to use ready-made color templates, they can add their picture or photo to the invitation.

5. Interactive invitations. Having defined the type of invitation, the event organizer fills out an invitation form . In addition to entering general information about the event, you can offer guests to vote different dates and times for the event or ask guests to bring something with them.

6. Sending invitations by e-mail and other channels. Filling in the event details, the organizer adds the guest list and sends the invitation. In addition to the automatic e-mail mailing of invitations, it is possible to share a link to the invitation with friends whose email addresses are not always known. While this opportunity is available only for open events.

7. Feedback from guests. As soon as the guests receive the original invitation card by e-mail, the event organizer will be able to track who viewed the invitation, who registered for the event, who responded and what comments they left, how many people come. You can also discuss event details with guests by sending them additional messages.

8. Photo reports from the events. After the holiday, party or meeting has come to an end, the organizer and guests can always return to the invitation and add their photos from the meeting to it or watch and comment on photo albums of other guests. All photos of the past event are stored in one place.

9. Additional features. Internal mail is available for correspondence with guests, profile privacy settings and an address book that stores contact information about guests. If there are a lot of e-mail addresses, you can also use the automatic function of importing contacts from mail services.

10. Web 2.0 site. Interactive invitation invitations are made using AJAX ( YUI ) and are a platform for the collective participation of users in the planning and organization of events.
