If I enter and invite the guests myself, does it say I'm the host? I am having a party with a very busy host and told her I could do everything but as I'm adding her contacts its saying invited by me. Will it still say its her party?

Thanks!
 
It will say it's her show, but the e-mail will come from you as the sender since you're the one sending the e-mail. For it to arrive in their in-box with her as the sender, she needs to go into her show on your PWS and select the people to send the e-vite to. Can you put in all of the guests and e-mails and have her take 2 minutes to send the e-vites? It's much more likely to get opened and not put into spam if it comes from her.

Thanks, I shot her an e-mail advising.
 
What you can do is go to your PWS (Welcome To My Personal Web Site) and log in as your host using her 4 digit alphanumeric password. Then enter the guests that way and send the invites as well. They will be invited by her and the email will have her name on it in the subject line.
 
Right, if you sign in pretending to be the host with her passcode, you won't have to bother her to do the sending.

That's what I do all the time for my hostesses. I also send a test email to me first and then I see what it looks like.

HTH,

Lisa

Oh, you guys are so smart! I'll try to do that if I don't see she's done it or hear back from her.
 
Thanks for the info everybody. I thought I had tried that in the past and it still showed that it came from me. But I'm not tech savy so I'll try again.
