I recently signed up for an account on Purple Trail. I'm so glad I did. I frequently send out emailed invitations for gatherings at my house. They are an easy and free way to get the word out FAST and keep up with your RSVPs. Purple Trail is an even better place to do this than most on line invitation sites. They have so many cool designs to choose from or you can design your own. You can send any type of invitation, e-card, announcement you could ever think of. Also, they are AD FREE which means your recipients won't see anything but your lovely card or invitation! Another great thing about Purple Trail is you can access and send anything from your mobile phone! You can also do all this from Facebook! How cool is that?!? When you sign in everything is laid out perfectly for you on the dashboard. They also have a list of upcoming celebrations to help you remember.
If all this wasn't enough they have an awesome party planning section too! They have party ideas for every occasion plus printable party games and invitation wording ideas, which I know I will put to good use. All of this is so easy to navigate which makes it a breeze to stay organized.
Now to the best part! Purple Trail is giving away a premium membership worth $9.95! With this membership you get more invitations per event, 25 SMS credits (mobile), animated invites, the ability to collect payment from your guests and much much more! All you have to do is go to http://purpletrail.com/partytrail and find the article you like the most and come back here and leave a link to it! They have many great ideas so this should be easy and fun!
Contest ends Friday April 24 at midnight central time. Good luck!
This sounds great! I love the article about the candy sushi. I have wanted to have a japanese dinner party, but since I don't like fish.. I wasn't sure how I could help with a sushi party. Great idea. Anyway.. I hope I win.
