LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer is in full
swing and people everywhere are getting together to fire up the
grill and jump in the pool. But the number of BBQ/pool parties you
get invited to may depend on where you live. Evite,
(www.evite.com), the leading digital service for bringing people
together, today announced the Top 10 U.S. cities for the highest
number of BBQ/pool party invitations sent. The company, which
recently sent its 2 billionth event invitation, analyzed the number
of guests invited to BBQ/pool parties using Evite in 39 metro areas
across the United States in
2014.
Evite found that the city with the highest distinct number of
guests invited to BBQ/pool parties was Austin, Texas with 197,617 invitations sent,
followed closely by Atlanta, Ga.
(191,139 invitations) and Seattle,
Wash. (190,184 invitations).
When indexed against the city's total population, Evite found
the highest number of invitees per capita went to the Washington, D.C. metro area, with 27% of its
population receiving invitations to a BBQ/pool party. Residents of
Seattle received the second
highest number of invitations per capita (23%), while Atlanta and Austin tied for third highest at 21%.
"Summer is a great time to get together, and these 10 cities are
setting the bar for having fun and connecting with family and
friends," said Victor Cho, Chief
Executive Officer of Evite. "As a service at the heart of bringing
people together face-to-face, Evite loves enabling these
party-goers to have fun, easy ways to connect."
