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."

Text invitations appear as a thumbnail linking out to the full 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."
