All issues
The standard play for a dinner is to send invites 3–4 weeks out.
I want to show you something different.
Plan the dinner weeks out, book the room, but hold the invitations until mere hours before the event start. You can send out a text message like, “Free for dinner tonight?” and a link to RSVP.
Nothing about the dinner is last-minute. Just the invitations.
Your guests already want a seat at your table, so filling it was never the hard part. But, how can you get more out of it?
What happens to the room when a few people get pulled into something nobody else knew about? That’s buzz you don’t get from a save-the-date sent weeks out.
Today on Office Hours, I’m building the whole thing live, and answering questions as I go. (Including the texts sent from your phone from the Gatsby app.)
Come see how it works. Today at 2PM ET.
