Evite is a great online tool that allows people to easily send invites for events. However, using it isn’t always straightforward, as one mom found out when she accidentally invited all of the contacts from her phone to her daughter’s birthday party.
In a recent viral clip posted on TikTok, San Jose, California native Emily King described a funny mishap that happened to her while using Evite. King was organizing a birthday party for her one-year-old daughter and wanted to send out an online invite to her family and friends. But during the selection process, she clicked “Import Contacts” option that ended up sending the same invite to 487 of her contacts.
To make things worse, all of the contacts were addressed by the name under which they were stored in the phone. The list included” Derek Eye Roll” and “Jess Hit Her Car In Parking Lot.”
King’s video ended up receiving more than 12 million views, and other TikTok users found it quite funny. Some even suggested that Evite should sponsor the party, something that actually ended up happening.
In a follow-up clip, King explained that she managed to clean up the mess and explain to people that it was a mistake, with most of them being “good sport” about it. Evite stepped in by providing King with a DoorDash coupon she can use for food and drinks at the party.
