Sending invitations to guests for an event

There are several different ways to use pingg to send invitations to guests.

The most common approach is to provide guest contact information to pingg, and have us send invitations through email. Each invitation will include a unique link to your pingg event web site, which allows guests to RSVP or use other pingg features (leave messages, use the gift registry, etc.) without having to provide any further information to pingg (we use the unique link to identify them).

Another approach is to use a social network or other internet based outreach (like Facebook, Twitter, or your own email software, etc.) to send out messages with a link to your pingg event web page. Guests who follow the link will be asked to register (they will need to provide their email address as a minimum), and then they can RSVP and use other pingg features (leave messages, use the gift registry, etc.).

You can use both these approaches together. For example, upload a guest list and have pingg send personalized invitations to those guests, and then send a message with your event's web page link to another group of guests through Facebook.

Furthermore, using pingg's unique surroundSend functionality, you can also send invitations by print or SMS (text) message. Both of these options will include a unique link to your pingg event/ecard web site, which allows guests to RSVP or use other pingg features (leave messages, use the gift registry, etc.) without having to provide any information to pingg (we use the unique link to identify them).

Once again, you can choose to mix and match how guests receive invitations. You can easily only email one group of guests, send printed invitations to another group, and send both an email and printed invitations to a third group.
