One of my favorite websites is Evite, http://www.evite.com. Evite makes it so easy to invite people to parties or functions. It tracks RSVPs and let's you send out detailed information about your gathering.

Tips & Warnings

You can check out who has viewed the Evite by going to the Host Version guest list and go to the section, "NOT YET REPLIED" and click the link, "View These Responses."
Some Evite emails will get stuck in SPAM filters. If you see someone listed in the "NOT YET REPLIED" section that would normally respond to your invitation, ask the person if they ever received your Evite.

on 3/25/2008 Just a note: Some people don't like evites. If they already have evite accounts, it's OK; but if they don't, you've just provided some fairly detailed personal information about your friends to Ticketmaster (which owns evite) and its business partners and subsidiaries. Evite sends web bugs along with the invitations, and they do spam people unless they explicitly sign up for an account and use the opt out feature. In fact, some people have reported that they spam you even if you do opt out.

In general, it's not a good idea to give your friends' personal information to third parties--especially companies known for aggressive marketing tactics--without their prior consent.
