LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Evite, the world's
leading digital platform for bringing people together, today
announced it is the first major digital invitation service to
incorporate SMS technology, allowing its 100+ million users to send
text message invitations. Hosts can invite all guests at once via
text or email and get their invitations seen sooner -- while still
utilizing the tracking benefits Evite is known for, including
confirmation that invitations are received and opened.
"Evite is pleased to announce full text-based support online and
through our mobile apps, making it more convenient and less
time-consuming for hosts to invite guests," said Victor Cho, CEO of Evite. "Text messages
typically have a 98% open rate, meaning invitations will be seen
sooner. We are excited to announce this important evolution to
Evite just in time for Halloween and
holiday events."

event details in a browser or the app.
"This popularly-requested feature solves two big problems our
customers have voiced: some guests prefer email while others prefer
text, and many hosts do not actually have the emails for their
guests," added Cho. "We look forward to enabling more face-to-face
connections, through this feature."
