I’m not very good at social graces, so I previously had never planned a party big enough to require the use of Evite. Now that I’m planning one, though, I realized something that I didn’t know when I was the one receiving Evites: the organizer of the event can not only tell who has officially RSVPd, but also who has clicked the link and viewed the invitation.

This can be very useful when you run into your invitees. You can say “I notice that you viewed my Evite, but you haven’t responded yet. I guess you’re waiting to see if something better comes along before responding? Eh? Eh? Or maybe you’re just working out your reason not to come? Ha hah.”

You know, having social graces is actually a lot of fun.
