Setdot.com - Event-planning the sophisticated way

Setdot is a site that provides you with event-planning tools, including nicely designed templates for various kinds of invitations. It claims to be classier and more sophisticated than “other, nameless event invitation sites” (hm, I wonder which one that would be?). The service appears to be free, if you can get past the bouncer at the door: apparently you need to e-mail them and request to be added to the site´s guest list before they will invite you to use their event-planning services.

“Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to plan his 30th birthday party in a trendy district of San Francisco. Being the sophisticated and tech-savvy person that he was, he decided to plan his event on the internet. First, he tried using a popular online event planner. He found the site slow, cluttered, and too boring for his classy tastes. He then figured he would try some of the other online elaborate web event planning tools. They were too fancy and confusing for him. Frustrated and no closer to getting his event planned, he cancelled his birthday party. He spent the next several months at a coffee shop, drinking his mochas and creating an online presence that would match his fabulous wardrobe. And that is how setdot was born. Planning for any event or occasion is as important as the actual event itself. setdot turns the planning process into an exciting new place where people can connect and be able to manage all of their events and plan their activities. After setdot was created, the man again attempted to plan his birthday celebration and needless to say, the man"s party was a success. He envisions a day when people will not just plan an event, but "setdot" it.”

People could use a change from those “other, nameless event-planning sites.”

It fails to convince you that it is remarkably different than the aforementioned Evite (oops, did I say its real name?).
