Crusher: How to make absolutely sure everyone gets your invite

It's true, there are some cases where inviting people via the Crusher invite flow (enter email addresses + hit send) may run into some snags. Some friends have strict spam blockers and unless it comes from an email address they know it ends up in the spam/bulk folder. Sigh.

We do a good job in avoiding these as much as possible. You can help us by adding no_reply@crush3r.com you your address book. This tells the robots that we are safe.

Here's a way to get around it all:

1) Create an event page like normal.

2) In the "Invite People" pane up top, select Open Guest List (see image).

3) Email your friends about the party and include the URL of the page.

Done! When they click the URL to go to the page they will be able to add themselves into the guest list and RSVP.

I am trying test invitations. I tried to send to a group (#tag ???) I cannot see that any of those invitations were sent, but people wholly unknown to me seem to have viewed the test and are listed as undecided. What the heck is happening?

Krista, do you mean you sent to a group email, like #team@crush3r.com? If you did, it would show it at the bottom of your Edit Guest List page. Whoever is in the email list you sent to would of course then be able to go to the page and RSVP themselves. Are you saying you don't know those people and didn't mean to send to a group email list? Perhaps email me (feedback@crush3r.com) the page URL and I can take a look for you.
