| It's party time! | | Print | |
 It's time to get your social life out of hibernation and ready for summer. Think I can't be serious – what with the recession, climate chaos and a global pandemic on the horizon? Well, I can't help with the third problem, but the first two are sorted, party-wise: parties don't have to cost a fortune – or the earth.
Instead of fretting about the food or getting into a frenzy of
flower arranging, just relax and go for it! Your real friends care more about quality time with
you, and if they're like our mates with young children, they'll
be effusively grateful for any excuse to get out of the house for some
(grown-up) fun. Most will bring a bottle along too, so your
initial splash-out gets paid back in part (and the goodwill? Priceless). If you're really strapped, host a
'covered dish' party where everyone brings along some nibbles. And if any so-called friends turn up their noses, well that's all the more reason to widen your social circle.
  They're not just green, they're cute as a button, with colourful illustrations, slick photography and sleek designs. Just select a style and input your
party's details. There's a huge range of invites, for cocktail
parties, birthdays, baby showers – even weddings.
Pingg's not just a pretty face: the site works like your own private PA (hands up, fellow "Oops: left my diary at home again" types). Pingg helps manage your guest list, track the RSVPs, even send
out reminders to guests near the date. Meanwhile you'll have oodles of time to plan the party's music playlist (or obsess about your outfit).
We've just set a date for a little get-together (17th of May you nosy parker, so keep an eye on your inbox) and I'm starting my pingg invite now. I've also made pingg my Website of the Week. No jibes about the ethics of blogging about freebies – remember, it's free for everyone!
