Evite tips

Greatest Hits, Seriously

If you’ve bought into “email” and you have more than 3 friends, then you’ve recieved an evite.  But, do you know how to properly respond?  Here are some evite response tips:

1. Not leaving a response is the same as “maybe” – Nothing says “who give’s a crap about this guy” like viewing an evite without replying.

2. “Maybe” is the same as “no” – I’m willing to bet my wisdom teeth that less than 1% of “maybes” ever show up.

3. Don’t add guests if your replay is “no” – I shouldn’t have to tell you this.

4.  Adding more than 2 guests is not acceptable. There’s probably a reason your friends weren’t invited.

5.  Please use the carpool section - so I can make fun of you later.

6.  Don’t be the first to reply – It’s the same as publicly referring to someone as your “best friend”

7.  Your reply is not the time for movie quotes – I don’t know how to explain this further.

I’m sure there are more tips out there.  What am I leaving out?

    8. If your response to an evite is "yes," it is not necessary to then post the additional comment "I'll be there!" – That is implied by your reply of "yes."

    Please make sure you have correct email addresses. I don't want to be invited to a baby shower for someone I don't know who lives in Boise, Idaho. If you do, I'm going to reply with a "yes" and say I'm bringing 24 guests.

    If you are not coming, do not reply "yes" and then comment something like "I wish we could be there, but we'll be out of town"

    A lot of people do this and I'm not really sure why. I like to think it is on purpose for some reason and that they are not just idiots, but who knows, maybe I'm giving them to much credit.

    Is the comments section even necessary? What does your "boo yeah" add to the event?

    When responding, you can add up to 48 guests.
    Nothing more shocking to a party thrower when they learn that 547 people are coming to their Celebrate Life Party.

    The "creator" can see which invitees have viewed the evite…so if you view it then never respond, they know you have received it and have obviously rejected you and your shindig by not even having the decency to respond.

    I wish there was a box "Why did you invite me?" – which means NO! I get invited to stuff by folks who would have never included me if it was a regular invitation and they were constraint by the amount of invitations they ordered. Just because it's free doesn't mean invite anybody who has an email address.

    I agree with Laurinda – I won't be hurt by a non-invite, and I could do without the frequent e-vite spam.

    What about the competition to see who can respond with the funnest comment? "As long as Ted doesn't get pants'd again!", "Poker? Heck I don't even know her!", or "Look at how drunk I am!", are good examples.

    Oh, how I love the suckers who don’t understand the “invite others” concept and will forward their evite email. Next time you receive an evite, find a niave friend also invited and ask them to forward their email to you. “I accidentally deleted it” works well enough. Once you receive, click on the link and you are now accessing the evite as them. You are now free to RSVP for them. “Yes. I LOVE parties!!! Boo-ya!! Party time!!! I haven’t been to a party since hammer holders were cool! I hope we play 7 minutes in heaven! Pucker up, ladies. Giggity, giggity, giggity.” Also an option: “No. So sorry I can’t make it. I’m heading up to a retreat to get cleaned off the Wild Turkey and horse laxatives. I will be undergoing hourly colonics. Y’all have fun without me.” before you finish ruining your friend, make sure to change their screen name. Tripp “Yes That Smell Is Me” Crosby a potential winner.

    How about a post about creating evites? I'll start the list:

    1. Everybody gets an email every time you revise your copy on your evite. This means I get to see your attempt to add a few funny details here and there, and then remove them when you're not so sure it was that funny.

    Have the decency to respond with ANY answer. Be sure that if you're rude enough not to respond at all, you won't be invited again.

    In due course, in youth I leaped to Marxism and I was much critical of ideas of spirituality and indeed I was inclined to materiality, and of course my reality was matter. Indeed Das Capital, the Communist manifesto, Mao’s writings were my favorite books.

Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you; I probably won’t have to describe everything to my pals. I can simply direct them here!
