The app is designed to help party hosts create invitations, send invitations and involve party VIPs and guests seeking easy-rapid ways to send invitations, receive guests and allow guests and VIPs to either view party pics and videos or VIPs to add pics to the party.

Here is an independent review of iPartygram. “With a variety of different background photos and images available through the app, you can choose an image that suits the theme or occasion of your party. You can add all the information you need to the party invitation and it’s the perfect opportunity to let guests know if the party has a certain dress code, theme, or whether they should bring their own drinks. You can also use the “Notes” and “Reminders” sections to give guests a date by which they should RSVP, saving you the hassle of having to chase people up later.

When sending invitations to guests, you can select the box marked “VIP” if you want that guest to be able to upload their own photos to the party section within iPartyGram.

You can either send the invitation to each guest individually with your own customized message, or send the same PDF file to multiple people. To keep each individual’s email address private, enter your own email address in the “To:” field, then enter the other recipients’ addresses in the “BCC:” field. That way, when guests receive the invitations, they only see your email address, and other guests’ emails stay hidden. The graphic format means that guests can easily print out and take the invitation with them to the party, so they have all the details on hand.

When guests receive their invitations, it contains a unique ID number. To access the party details, all they have to do is download the iPartyGram app or log on to the website, and enter the ID number in the Guest Login section, then they can access the party details and, if they are VIP guests, upload their own photos.

iPartyGram is a versatile app that makes the party planning process simple, quick, and cost-effective. It allows you to spend less time on practical tasks, like sending invitations, leaving you with more time to focus on the big event.”

Party Planner – Being the Best

Posted on by
Reply

If you’ve been tasked with planning a party, you have no small challenge ahead of you. Whether you’re planning an informal baby shower for a good friend, or organizing the office summer party for 300 people, the same good party planning practices apply.

Don’t get stressed

This is easier said than done, especially when there’s a party to plan. Minimizing your stress levels, however, will help you keep a calm head if things go wrong, and aid your ability to solve any problems that might arise during the planning process and the party itself. To a certain extent, you can’t control your stress levels, but you can take steps to alleviate the amount of anxiety you feel. Some of these are below, and involve planning as much of the party in advance as possible, having back-up plans, and enlisting the help of other people.

Plan well in advance

The more you can plan the different elements of a party in advance, the more likely you’ll be able to create a successful event with minimum stress. Once you have the necessary information like the budget and guest numbers, plan other aspects of the party, such as the venue, entertainment, and food, as far in advance as possible – even if you think these aspects will be easy to organize.

Create a party checklist

Make lists of everything you need to do, from creating and sending out invites, to organizing the music, venue and deciding on guest list. Next to each list item, specify a deadline for each task. This should be at least two weeks before you really need to complete the task, as then if preparations are delayed; you still have time to complete the planning.

Create back-up plans

You might assume that if you prepare for the party properly, you won’t need a back-up plan, but part of preparing for a party properly is to have a back-up plan. No matter how well you organize the different elements involved in a party, things outside of your control can go wrong. Having a back-up plan for food, drinks, entertainment and a venue means that, although it might not be ideal, the party can still go on, even if disaster strikes.

Ask for help

Depending on the size and complexity of the party, planning the event on your own is a huge responsibility. Part of successful planning is knowing when to delegate tasks to other people, so don’t be afraid to ask for help if you don’t feel you can manage, or if you have tasks on your to-do list that you’d rather others completed.

Focus on the guests

Even when you’re throwing a party for a birthday, wedding, baby shower, or other major life event, the focus of the party should be on the guests. It’s easy to get caught up in making the party perfect for the person who is supposed to be at the centre of the festivities. While this is still important, if you neglect to focus on what the party guests might want from the event too, you will end up with a room full of dissatisfied partygoers. Make sure your guest’s needs are provided for, and the party will flow.

Use Party Planning Apps

Just as it’s important to ask for help from other people, you might also find it useful to utilize a party planning or personal organizer tool, such as the iPartyGram app. Not only will this help you manage the guest list, but it will help you plan exactly what you need to do by the day of the party, and make sure you remember all those little details that can make the difference between a good party and a great party.

Social shopping networks are changing the shopping habits of consumers everywhere. By combining the consumer shopping experience with online socializing and information gathering, these networks are enjoying more traffic while quickly growing in numbers to meet a variety of consumer needs. Sports and fitness lovers can maximize their shopping time by visiting some of these social shopping networks. The time leftover and money saved on your purchases will give you more time and money to devote to your sport.

  • GiftEm.com. The introduction of GiftEm was recently released to the public with a focus on streamlining the online shopping process for consumers buying for themselves and others. Each member of GiftEm creates a personal profile where they can specify the categories and items they prefer. The free service allows you to find great deals on your favorite sports and fitness ideas, receive alerts for your sports-fanatic friends’ birthdays and create your own gift registry. The more specific you are in your profile, the more GiftEm can customize your social shopping experience. Once the program understands that you love all things hockey, it will start notifying you of sales and items that might be of interest to you.
  • Woot.com. Woot is a little bit different from many other social shopping networks in that it offers only one item per day. The inexpensive item is highlighted for an entire day and when it’s gone, or a new day begins, then the opportunity to buy it is gone, too. Woot showcases a variety of items, varying from entertainment to household to sport. The member forums provide consumers with a place to chat about products and provide reviews. Woot’s blog goes into further detail about the deal of the day, offering members a little bit of information and humor mixed together.
  • WishPot.com. Add your wishes to WishPot so your community of friends and family members knows what you’re hoping to add to your collection of sports and fitness gear and clothing. On this social shopping network you can also see what the experts say about certain products, find and add other members to your shopping community and get price alerts about your favorite sports and fitness items. Instead of wasting time shopping, WishPot lets you know when the items you want are available.
  • ThisNext.com. The small community you become part of at ThisNext will be influenced by your sports and fitness picks, and you’ll enjoy the benefits of learning about new items from other community members. ThisNext takes advantage of collective wisdom by gathering recommendations on a variety of items and letting you know what others think about the items you’re considering. ThisNext has a variety of sports and fitness items, and if you could use the guidance of another opinion you can find plenty at ThisNext.
  • Buzzillions.com. Knowledge is power and it helps you make wiser purchases on your sports and fitness gear and clothing. After you enter your interests, Buzzillions matches you with countless other consumers who share them. You’ll have access to product reviews and recommendations that help you make the best choice possible when shopping for new fitness and sports items. Although Buzzillions isn’t a retailer, they do link to sites where you can make your purchases.

Time is a hotter commodity today than it ever has been before. To have enough time in your schedule for your sports and fitness activities you must be efficient with time throughout your day. Using social shopping networks helps you combine consumer research, shopping and informational discussion. This smart time management technique helps you get better deals on sports and fitness items while giving you more time in your schedule to use them.
