From direct mail to email to SMS and now through Facebook event invites, friends and colleagues use various means to invite us to socials. Although all of these methods have their more appropriate use, I feel that SMS invites are the ones that stick. Here’s why.

More often than not, SMS invites that I send out for events usually have a higher turnout for events, even if I indicated an RSVP – and they DON’T RSVP but still come. Hmm. Also, based on experience, I get replies that ar 24 hours late – but still replies nonetheless confirming attendance to events. Does it mean that in my circle, people have a higher chance of forgetting things in email than on their phone? Because when I do send something via email, I get a reply (via SMS!!) after a few days that says “did you send it? I never got anything!”

What are your personal experiences with sending invites? Weddings and formal functions aside, I think SMS is still the best way to go because it is more personal, and people will forget their wallet – but never their phone!

As a final note, there is that element of SPAM to be considered. When one medium is bombarded with spam (in this case, email), it becomes a less effective means of getting invitations.
