Los Angeles - April 12, 2004 - Evite, the world's definitive social planning destination, has been selected to be the official online invitation service for viewing parties of NBC's top-rated unscripted drama, The Apprentice.
Evite has created an exclusive online party invitation complete with official Apprentice artwork, RSVP management tools and polling options for fans to plan the ultimate viewing party. Apprentice followers won't have to sell lemonade, auction a celebrity experience or sell autographed basketballs to have access to the Evite since it is free and available now at www.evite.com.
With the recent launch of new features, Evite users can now select to host a party publicly or privately. Public Event hosts, which may be venue owners, looking to draw a crowd or simply fans wanting to watch with others can post their Evite in the Local Events Directory for all people with similar interests to view. Users can also continue to send invitations to friends or family for private events.
"We're excited about our partnership with Evite to invite fans of The Apprentice to host their own viewing parties," said John Miller, President, NBC Agency. "This new element will enhance NBC's current online features such as exclusive journals, behind-the-scenes video, online chats, games and more."
