Since we launched, Anyvite has supported the ability to “try before you buy”, where you can use the service to create an event and customize to your liking, before registering and sending out the invitations.  As we added in additional features throughout the month of July, the “try it” portion of the service was often neglected, due mainly to some complications which arose in replicating the internal functionality for non-registered users.  We’ve spent the past few days completely reworking the code so that the “try it” portion uses the same code base as the “create event” functionality, which registered users are privy to.

What does this mean for you?  Basically, the invitations that you can create while not being registered or logged in to the service are significantly better than they were yesterday.  You can add in a main picture to your invite, either by uploading one of your own or searching Flickr through our site, as well as upload additional supporting pictures or link to YouTube videos.  You’re also able to add in a profile picture and display name before sending out invitations to your invited guests.

There are a ton of tweaks and new features spread throughout the “try it” process now, so explore it and let us know what you think!
