Davetino

Paper invitations are replaced by a personal web page in this Turkish service, which lets hosts build an invitation, share its link and follow who intends to come. The site describes the idea as an invitation in the form of a website, combined with an application for tracking guests, called LCV on the site.

Four steps to an invitation

The process is short. A host signs up, adds a photograph and the details of the event, previews the personalised invitation and buys it. The host then shares the link through any messaging app, and afterwards follows the guests' replies. The service says it is fun, quick, easy and environmentally friendly, and describes itself as the first comprehensive digital invitation system in Turkey.

What the invitation page holds

Everything about the event sits on one page: a response form, a countdown, a map and a button to add the date to a calendar. The host picks a theme from the available categories and personalises it with photographs and event information.

Guest tracking

Replies are collected on the page, so the host can see who is able to attend. Guest details can be edited, and the guest list can be downloaded as an Excel file. Guests who have said they will attend receive an automatic reminder by email.

Events it covers

The categories listed include weddings, civil ceremonies, engagements, henna nights, bachelorette parties and birthdays, together with baby showers, corporate events, launches and fundraising events for non-profits. Its site also carries a collaborations section and a blog with popular articles on event planning, all in Turkish. The service is built for hosts who want something more personal and shareable than a printed card, and who would like replies to arrive in one place instead of through separate messages and phone calls. Because the invitation is a page rather than a file, a host can send the same link to every guest and keep the details in one place, including any later change of venue or plan.
