~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My most favorite part of the holidays are the holiday parties! I just love getting together with family and friends, eating, drinking and being merry.

Before I discovered PurpleTrail, I might have sent out costly printed invites or hopped on an electronic invitation site riddled with ads.  Now, a whole new world has opened up!  Imagine...

* Ad-free invitations
* Easy sign-up with the free membership
* Send online invitations, eCards, and announcements
* Address book and event management
* Easy to create and loads of designs at your finger tips
* Options to order or print your customized designs at home 
* Ability to create a companion event website to go with your print invitations while enjoying all the benefits of online invitations
* Party ideas, helpful blog, a growing community
* And much more!

I am still discovering all the wonderful benefits of Purple Trail after finishing my first easy to create "save the date" email. I especially like the embellishments that you can add to your creations and all the cool party ideas and designs shared by other users.  I have plans to use PurpleTrail for the actual birthday party invite and all my party plans.  This will also be my go-to source to send out future ecards and announcements. I love love love this site!

TRY IT!


The starting service at PurpleTrail is free. With a free plan, you can send up to 250 email invitations per month. 75 invites per event.  And all the invites would be totally ad-free.  In addition to the free plan, PurpleTrail offers upgrades to the basic, pro and premium plans.

Right now you can also receive a 25% discount on the NEW PurpleTrail Print where they will print and ship the designs to you.  Use code "pttwtrfrnds" to get your discount.
