For better or worse, hardly anyone sends actual printed invitations anymore. One of the main reasons for that is the existence of Evite. The online invitation company was founded in 1998 and forever changed the way social gatherings were planned. Despite receiving some criticism over the years, it remains a dominant force and the favored choice for tons of people organizing a get-together or party.
Though many of the site's invitation templates are free, the best ones are usually labeled "premium" and require you to purchase them in order to gain access. While the premium template prices aren't especially high, they cost enough that it still makes sense to try to get a discount. Hence our tips outlined below, which provide insight into how you can most effectively leverage Evite without dipping too deep into your wallet to do so.
The average Evite user probably has no idea that the site runs sales and promotions for its premium invitations, but it does. Quite regularly, in fact. Sometimes, you might be able to score a seasonal discount for particular types of premium templates, while other times you might be able to get free premium thank you cards with the purchase of premium invitations. Regardless, you should always check Dealspotr to see if there are any specials running that might fit your particular needs.
Evite's social media game is most definitely on point. It has active profiles set up on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube. It's a wise move to become a fan or follower of Evite on the platform of your choice because every so often the company will announce a giveaway through its social channels. These giveaways present an excellent opportunity to try and nab some free premium templates.
A more recent and very intriguing Evite feature is Instant Gifts. The program is rather unique, but makes a lot of sense. Basically, you buy someone a gift from one of Evite's partners (Sears, Gap, Amazon, Toys R Us, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, 1-800 Flowers, Best Buy or Overstock) and attach a personal message upon checkout. The person receiving the gift will then be sent a link to see their gift and the associated personal message. The best part is that the gift is actually just a gift card in the amount of the gift you suggest. This solves any concerns about whether the person will like the gift or not, because they can always choose to use the gift card on something else besides what you intended. In addition, this saves you from having to guess the size or color of the item as it will be up to the recipient to pick. Another bonus is that you can wait until the last minute to send it without worrying about paying for overnight shipping.
By far the easiest and most convenient way to use Evite is by downloading the mobile app. It’s available for Apple, Android or Windows devices. While using the app doesn't necessarily save you money, it most definitely saves you time because you can do it on the go from wherever you are (perhaps while sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office) and as they say: Time is money.
