LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2007 -- Evite (www.evite.com ), the leading social event planning service on the Web, today announced that it has surpassed 15 million registered users, which represents a 30 percent annual increase in its user base. Evite created the online invitation category when it launched in 1998 and has grown into the only site with comprehensive party planning tools and compelling content, attracting over six million unique visitors monthly (comScore/Media Metrix).
Evite has remained the number one site of its kind by consistently adding new tools and content to provide party hosts with everything needed to plan a great event. Recent feature additions include a Carpool tool where guests can organize rides to and from an event, a Group Travel option so guests can book hotels for destination events directly through the site, and an integrated photo sharing tool. Other popular features include a drink calculator, budget estimator and party checklist. Additionally, Evite offers unique depth in its party editorial, continuously adding new content to the more than 75 pages of party planning ideas, as their experts spot emerging lifestyle and party trends.
"Evite's goal is to help our users successfully plan events with ease and style. We are an easy-to-use, environmentally-friendly, online resource that helps bring together friends and family in the offline world," said Harry Lin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Evite. "With over 15 million registered users, Evite continues to dominate the online social event planning space by providing world-class, comprehensive planning tools and content."
Evite's free invitations remain the most popular feature of the site. Users can create and customize their own Evite invitations or select from hundreds of designs in 30 invitation categories. In 2006, more than 165 million Evite invitations were sent out. Earlier this month, Evite brought the party to Britain, successfully launching its first international site in the UK. More innovations are planned in the upcoming months, as the company continues to improve the user experience, with more options for invitation customization and new planning functionality.
