stage 1: the party basics
There's a reason it's called "entertaining".... Hosting a party is supposed to be fun, not stressful. And with Evite as your online event planner, it will be.
pick a date and time
Finding a date and time when guests are free can be tricky. In many cases, that means planning your event around a holiday or celebration — or avoiding a conflict with those major events.
Check out our
calendar of holidays and events to see what's coming up. Also, before you decide on a date, contact your VIP guests to make sure they're free. That way you're guaranteed a fun, special evening regardless of who else shows up.
choose a party theme
A good theme makes a
great party. We'll show you how to dress up your decorations, activities, food, drinks, even suggest the perfect party music.
We have tips for all sorts of parties, including:
set a party budget
Keep your party costs from spiraling out of control with our
