Social event planning Evite has announced that it has surpassed 15 million registered users mark, which represents a 30 percent annual increase in its user base.

Evite.com created the online invitation category when it launched in 1998 and it now attracts over six million unique visitors monthly (comScore/Media Metrix).

The recent feature additions include a Carpool tool where guests can organise rides to and from an event, a Group Travel option so guests can book hotels for destination events directly through the site, and an integrated photo sharing tool.

“Evite’s goal is to help our users successfully plan events with ease and style. We are an easy-to-use, environmentally-friendly, online resource that helps bring together friends and family in the offline world,” said Harry Lin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Evite.

According to the company, Evite’s free invitations remain the most popular feature of the site. Users can create and customise their own Evite invitations or select from hundreds of designs in 30 invitation categories.

In 2006, more than 165 million Evite invitations were sent out. Earlier this month, Evite launched its first international site in the UK.
