You mean people still actually get together? I thought all human interaction was moved online! If you still like the company of other two-legged mammals, and are thinking of having a New Year’s Eve party, there are several great Websites that allow you to invite your guests.
Planning a party is hard work. From music to snacks to drinks, you’ll have plenty to do – so invitations should be the last of your worries.

Pingg - Puts all the info you need in beautifully designed emails, and lets you RSVP directly from the website. For a few bucks you can send postcards or even text messages to your guests as well. Easy to use, good looking site.
MyPunchBowl – A clean site that gives you all the basic functionality and allows you to text invites. The cool feature is that yo can let the guests vote on the start time and see how they respond.
