Evite.com Adds Event-Planning Tools, Tips

Los Angeles -- Evite.com, a leading online event-invitation service, has added several planning tools, including a budget estimator and listings of restaurants and nightclubs in major U.S. cities.

The free service is aimed primarily at people planning social events, but corporate and association planners could use the service for planning receptions and dinners.

"Event planning information is scattered throughout the Web, with no single source that brings it all together," Jessica Landy Raymond, senior director of product development at Evite.com, said today in announcing the new features. "Now, with new tools and content, Evite.com is a one-stop-shop for planning any social event."

The upgraded service also includes a to-do checklist, online notebook for writing ideas and event details, wine-pairing chart, holiday guide, recipe guide, and ideas for theme parties.
