November 18, 2003 By: Bonnie Cousins Online Invitation Tool – Sending Invitations And Registry Details OnlineEvite, the No. 1 invitation service, and The Knot, the leading online wedding resource, have married some of their key features to take the hassle out of organizing wedding-related events and alleviate the taboo behind publicizing gift registry details. The Knot and Evite have combined their technologies to create one of the Web's most convenient event-planning tools. Through The Knot's interactive Guest List Manager, couples can instantly take advantage of Evite's tools and send invitations, track RSVPs and communicate registry details, all with the click of a mouse. The Knot has become the first and only wedding website to offer its millions of to-be-weds and party organizers access to Evite's enhanced features. Through this union, brides, grooms and their honor attendants can now send special Knot-branded Evites for events surrounding the wedding such as engagement soirees, bridal showers, and post-wedding brunches. Additional features include the ability of to-be-weds to transfer the invitation list to party organizers who can use it to send invitations, manage RSVPs, chat with partygoers, and keep track of gifts received and thank you notes sent, thereby alleviating the complexities that accompany planning events where the bride and groom are not the event hosts. To eliminate the social stigma and confusion that usually surround communicating registry details, this groundbreaking tool allows event planners the ability to provide guests a direct link to the wedding couples' gift registry within the event invitation. "Using Evite to plan our rehearsal dinner was a life saver. We were able to quickly and easily invite our friends and family to the dinner, ask them which type of meal they prefer, and then print out the list and take it directly to the caterer," said Jennifer and Richard Gunton who used Evite to plan recent wedding-related events. "Planning the rehearsal dinner as well as our combined bachelor and bachelorette party was a snap, and was so much fun as it gave our guests the opportunity to write in fun comments." "With 90% of couples planning their weddings online, there has been a growing popularity of using online invitations for wedding-related events, " said Carley Roney, the nation's leading wedding expert and editor in chief of The Knot. "Online invites are an excellent solution for couples needing to organize parties with family and friends scattered across the country ‹ of course, actual wedding invitations must be sent through the mail." "Wedding-related events are an increasingly popular category on Evite. In the past year, we've seen a 120% growth in the number of invitations sent in the wedding category, and this year alone Evite users will send more than a million wedding-related invitations," said John Foley, president of Evite. "Through our integration with The Knot, we are making it even easier for couples, maids-of-honor, and best men to plan their events by combining our leading invitation services with The Knot's extensive, best-of-breed wedding resources." "The Knot is committed to providing the most comprehensive suite of tools and services that make planning a wedding and related events easier for millions of couples across the globe," said David Liu, CEO of The Knot. "We are thrilled about our partnership with Evite, which allows us to offer yet another interactive tool that takes the hassle out of wedding planning and allows couples to plan everything they need for their weddings from a single destination on the World Wide Web."
