Just in time for the holiday season, the collection launched with twenty-five invitation designs featuring photography themed to a variety of occasions, including timely designs for Holiday and New Year’s festivities. In addition to the seasonal themes, the assortment also includes designs for everyday celebrations, including birthdays, cocktail parties, dinner parties, baby showers and more.

“We are thrilled to partner with Evite to integrate our signature Real Simple photography with Evite’s leading invitation technology,” said Tanya Singer, Executive Director, RealSimple.com. “The Real Simple Evite invitations are a unique opportunity not only to extend the Real Simple brand to Evite users but also to offer a smart, new service to our consumers.”
