Event management

I signed up to doodle and Google calendar. I then created a mock invitation as practice for this week's activities. I also signed up to Anyvite. I like this one more. It has features which are very handy and which allow us to create event invitations easily. There is an RSVP feature with simple options for our guests to respond with a "Yes, maybe or no". Anyvite also lets guests know how many people they can bring with them and what they need to bring to the event... You can also mark and link the event onto the Google calendar, Outlook, and ical so we can receive a reminder for ourselves.
I think that Anyvite can be useful for library events such as the youth and children's summer reading parties because we need to know the number of people attending so we can prepare (foods, staff etc). We can also send invitations and receive responses via two way communication. It will work especially well if all parents have their own email addresses.
