Why not send those end of the year and summer party invitations in style. We are all familiar with Evite, but below are a few other options guaranteed to make your party planning go smoothly.

Doodle is a great online date decider. It eliminates all of those back and forth emails when you are trying to pick a date. I used it with my staff when we were trying to choose a date for our staff retreat. There are two things you can do with Doodle. Schedule an event or make a choice. You can visually see what dates work for people.
