Zazzle Events

This app is great! It sends invitations, and automatically sends reminders to the guests 24 hours before the event and again 1 hour before. It really takes the follow-up on getting RSVP's to the next level too by making it simple for people to reply. In today's world, where almost everyone has a smart phone and uses texting to communicate, it's the ideal way to plan a party! I literally had guests RSVPing the same day I sent the invitation out!! The reason it gets 4 stars instead of five is because it wouldn't let me add contact information directly to the app (it had to be imported from my phone's contacts or a linked list), and it also has a handy chat feature BUT it required guests to download the app in order to correspond with me (which several guests didn't want to do). I ended up ammending the invitation with my personal contact info for those who needed to connect and did not want to install the app. Overall, a great app well worth the small fee if your guest list is large enough to outgrow the free number of invites!

I don't usually write reviews but I'm consistently surprised and delighted by Hobnob and I wanted to share. I've used Hobnob a bunch over the past few years and although the app had some weird quirks earlier on, it has been rock-solid lately. I can see from my app updates that it's constantly updated and each release seems to improve it's stability as well as add cool new features. (I love the new video invites!) This app is, put simply, a huge time saver. The interface is simple and straightforward but well-designed and functional. The few times I've had issues I've written into their support and their friendly, understanding support staff is helpful and and they get back to me quickly. I paid for it, and I'm glad I did. It keeps me organized and makes me look good to my guests. It's not spammy or riddled with ads like evite and it's a way better value than paperless post. I'd rather pay a few bucks for a high quality app than look like a cheap-o sending spammy, ugly looking invites for my events. Thanks Hobnob!

Update: I haven’t used the app in a bit but anytime anyone asks about invites I would recommend. A friend was looking for a way to send text invites for his baby shower and as usual I recommended the app. He asked me which plan I signed up for and I was confused! Much to my surprise, the premium app was introduced! Ugh! I seriously LOVED this app, but I don’t have events enough to pay a monthly subscription and with only 10 invites for the free version and the other restrictions like no co host I literally can’t use it anymore! I’m so sad I LOVED this app and would’ve gladly just paid a set price for it. But a subscription is a no for me. My friend went ahead and got the app and will even get the 50 invites. I know there’s a whole referral thing but I gladly referred before with no incentive because the app was just that good. Super disappointed. ************************************************* I discovered this app after being invited to a gender reveal for a friend. When it was time to host my own event I decided to give it a go! I love love love every second of the app! It's easy to use, and the fact that the invite can be sent via text is a game changer! People don't check their emails, paper invites get thrown to the side and forgotten- this solves all that! What would I change? I would love to be able to customize the auto reminders. Also, as someone suggested the details should be included in the initial text. Love this app will keep using it! I only see it getting better!
