Evite is down for, reportedly, "planned maintenance." Either this is actually planned (which seems like genuinely awful planning) or is a huge lie.
I'm betting on the latter. Nobody will kill their invitation site on such a huge party night.
P.S. evite.com itself was temporarily reporting that '/' is 404, and is not even producing the "planned outage" message I got from following the link in an invitation. Wow.
I will never use evite again. While my party was a success, about 5-10 confirmed guests didn't show last night. I have already received 3 e-mails about individuals not being able find my address when evite went down(from people who have never been to my house before).
There's apparently more than enough criticism to go around.
