This is such a great tool! Evite is well-known and great, but if you need to
coordinate responses as well as volunteers and potluck items... this is the
thing!!! What an awesome service you are providing. I'm in the process of
planning a potentially large open-house party to celebrate life with a very sick
friend in our neighborhood.... Evite could in no way handle what I needed. I'm
so grateful to find your service. After only a couple hours of the sign up going
live, I was already so relieved I used it!
