Evite® Kicks Off the Holiday Party Planning Season With the Launch of Evite Gatherings

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Evite (www.evite.com), the leader in digital invitations and social planning since 1998, today announced the launch of Evite Gatherings (www.evitegatherings.com, #Evitegatherings), a new editorial section devoted to giving users the information and tips they need to throw great parties, from the most intimate to the most formal. Now, hosts can find answers to all of their celebration needs, including over 50 spooktacular Halloween suggestions just in time for one of Evite's most popular holidays, on the most well-known site for creating and sending online and printed invitations to their guests.

The tips, ideas and recipes on Evite Gatherings have been created by Evite's in-house editors and stylists known for throwing great parties, including editorial director Marilyn Oliveira, and party stylist Jessica Bailey.  Readers can even submit images and overviews from their own parties to be featured on the site through the "Real Parties" section. Evite Gatherings will also feature a wide variety of well-known experts who will provide tips for different holidays and party planning occasions. In fact, just this week American pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp wrote, "How to Plan a Safe, Happy Halloween for Kids." 

"We've really listened to what our users want and recently introduced online/offline offerings with printed invitations through Evite Ink," said Hans Woolley, president of Evite. "With the creation of Evite Gatherings, we are now the one-stop party destination, helping people with all aspects of their events – from inspiration through the invitation, and after."

Additionally, to celebrate the timeliness of this launch, the company has published a free downloadable "Party Like a MonSTAR" digital planning guide for throwing an incredible monster themed kids Halloween party. The guide was produced in partnership with Party Bluprints (http://www.partybluprintsblog.com/) and includes 10 tips for creating the perfect party table, as well as festive recipes for Halloween-themed snacks and desserts, like Popcorn Monster Mash Up, Cheesy Horned-Monster Macaroni and Monster Cupcakes. Readers can also take a look at a few of more than 50 unique Evite Halloween party ideas, like a Halloween "boos" bar, "spine tingling" cupcake ideas, a DIY pumpkin carving table and pumpkin themed centerpieces.

Evite Gatherings can be found at www.evitegatherings.com. All the imagery on Evite Gatherings is available for distribution, and the "Party Like a MonSTAR" guide is also available in PDF form at http://issuu.com/evitegatherings/docs/evitegatheringshalloween2013.
