Invitastic.com - Minimalistic Evites, All About Design

The digital invite arena has seen its fair share of new and fancy invitations which involve ballooning social networks and event calendars. Invitastic, a recent arriver to this field, doesn’t try to go overboard and top everyone else out there. Rather, Jackson Fish Market, the site’s creator takes things down a notch and gives us elegant, streamlined invitations which are little more than just that. There’s no way to split tabs, to find recipes to plan activities, or to submit after party pictures to a sprawling network. What you can do is invite your pals to a party. And these invitations actually look good. It’s all about the aesthetic, the details, the little cartoon icon sticking out from the top of the invites. Invitastic isn’t about bombast or flair, they’re about getting simple and pretty. Creating your invite is easy: enter your event title, a description of the affair, dates, location and the email addresses of your attendees. Once received guests can import the event into their favorite calendaring app. Easy, peasy.

“Invitastic™ is our tiny website for inviting friends and family (and even enemies and strangers) to events.
There are lots of things you can’t do here...create a social network, plan party activities, split the tab for the event, figure out carpool arrangements, find recipes for Mai Tais, and more. There are pretty much a limitless number of things that Invitastic doesn’t do.
Hopefully however, when it comes to letting a bunch of people know that you’re having a party or gathering, and finding out if they’re coming or not, we do our job exactly as you’d hope.”

Although there are many invite apps out there, none are so simplistic and stylish. Most people, barring tech nerds and a crop of younger kids, don’t use calendaring apps or fancy invite services. Most people like to stick with the basics, which is exactly Invitastic’s specialty. It also keeps track of RSVPs so everyone knows who’s coming, and it’s got links to maps. Not too fancy, but clear and attractive nonetheless.

Will they offer printable invites? With so much competition in this evite arena, will Invitastic’s simplistic approach make the cut?
