Great Invitation Design

We here at pingg appreciate all of the bloggers that have taken the time to review our site - from mom blogs, designer blogs, eco-friendly blogs, tech blogs and more. We always appreciate when a design/fashion blog singles out pingg as the most design-conscience and artistically-oriented online invitation site. This feedback has proven to us that hosts enjoy the many stylized photographs, designs, and of course the fact that we send an actual invitation rather then simply an email linking to a sticker-like clip-art un-differentiated web page. We thank people like Maggie, who on her blog called Extraordinarily Nice, wrote, "With the introduction of Pingg, maybe people will stop using Evite. I hope so, as Evite's templates make my eyes bleed." Perhaps a bit drastic… but we are hoping to put an end to that epidemic.

Since this isn't the first time that we've heard a refrain like Maggies, we've spent a lot of time selecting original, virtually-unseen designs that style conscious hosts will be excited to use and discover. For those who choose to use the free invitation, as opposed to uploading their own images or buying a custom photo from pingg Plus+, we've worked hard to curate an amazing collection of invitations. Some of our new favorites are designs that come from our web branding agency extraordinaire, P.S. New York. They are a series of eight sparking lights images that can be found in the “patterns/textures” category under “Themes”. The pink/green version seems to be a favorite. It has already been popular for engagement invitations, weddings, showers and dinner parties.

Our Designer Series is the place were we give our users the opportunity to use original artwork from established, as well as up-and-coming artists, all for free. We recently added two new artists, an extremely talented illustrator and graphic designer, Jennifer Daniels as well as a unique mixed-media artist, Stephanie DosReis. We urge you to check out each of our designers to add that extra unique stylized quality to your own personal event.


In order for you, the host, to have as many options as possible in creating your personalized invitation, we are continually adding artists to our Designer Series on a regular basis. Of course if you are an artists yourself (graphic designer, illustrator, painter, photographer, mixed media etc.) and are interested in participating, please email us at artists@pingg.com.

We hope you enjoy all of the new invitation additions. It is our goal that hosts discover new designs and invitations that will inspire their events each time they visit pingg.com.
