Twtvite Updated – Sleek New Features

Twtvite has gone through a major update since I used it last.  In fact, I’m so impressed that I wanted to share with you here.  “Twtvite” (pronounced Twit-vite) allows you to easily create and share tweetups with your followers on Twitter (and beyond).  You can create a tweetup on the fly or plan one well in advance.  If you haven't planned a tweetup before, you may want to read this post first.


In the past, you could add a logo and small banner to your Twtvite event invitations, but the rest of the invite was pretty generic. I’m sharing a screenshot of the tweetup I just created on their upgraded site, plus details on the upgrades below.  If you’re in Charleston, be sure to join us for the September Charleston Ladies Who Lunch tweetup on 9/14 (info).

Twtvite Features I love:

  • Customizable background adds a sleek look – upload your own or use your twitter background.  I matched the background below to the background from the Charleston Ladies Who Lunch website.  Great for branding!

  • Nice, wide header across the top – perfect for your logo or just about anything (measures 940 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall for those designing the graphics)

  • Large event photo (600 pixels wide) space just below the header – Perhaps my favorite part! What a difference it makes…
  • Event hashtag prominently placed in red (top right) – love it

  • Easy RSVP options (plus feature to RSVP for others who may not be on Twitter)

  • As always, great Google map, RSVP count and (perhaps new?) invite views

  • This was there before, but I still love the event “wall” – a play on Facebook, but still nice!




Ready to create your own Twtvite? Just visit www.twtvite.com and login with Twitter. Then, follow the simple steps to create your event in minutes. (Tips on planning a Tweetup here).  I use the free version and it has served me well.
