For me there is nothing less exciting then getting an Evite. For all three of you who do not know what an Evite is, it is an electronic invitation to a party. 
Generally, an Evite is for someone’s birthday, a has been trying to regain their college glory years, or my mom’s funeral. Look, I don’t care who it’s for - Evite’s suck.
Evite’s generally come with some cheesy graphic: either a kitten in a party hat or a decade-old picture of the guest of honor doing something stupid. Needless to say Evites are always MUCH classier then wedding invitations.
Usually people denote whether or not they are coming with a note that is one of the following:
A) An inside joke, that three people will get
B) A comment that makes fun of someone else’s comment
C) Some line about how they will “get the party started”
D) This is my personal favorite: Responding that you will try to make it, but you have a bunch of other parties to go to that night.
Let me be the first to say, I could care less how many other engagements you may or may not have and quite frankly if you think that boosts your ego you are sad. Take it from someone who never gets invited to anything, being invited to a lot of parties does NOT make you cool.
If you have less than 50 people to send your Evite too, just fucking use email. If you are lucky, someone might forward the email to a friend with writing in the body that says, “check out this sweet party dawg.”
I would be remised to say the evite is the worst thing ever. The worst thing ever is the Evite reminder email, which reminds me just how lame Evites are.
