Best free online invitation for a work event

Work invitations go to inboxes, need a clear guest list you can share with a venue or caterer, and often need approval or a cap on numbers.

What this event needs

  • Email delivery that looks professional
  • A guest list you can export
  • Questions such as dietary needs or team
  • Co-organisers who can see replies
