Got a big birthday coming up, or are you planning a get-together with friends? Well, you might want to try which has just been released this week. This latest application - to come from the software team at Apple HQ in Cupertino - does exactly what it says on the tin with it offering an easy way to create and send fully interactive invitations from your .
With a few simple taps, you can let your contacts know about an upcoming event or summer party. That's a nice feature but Apple's Invites platform does more than just let you shout about your next gathering.
Once an invite has been sent, you can quickly see who has replied and who wants to come. The invite also creates a shared photo album, so everyone on the list can add images and memories. There's even the option to show what the weather will be like on the day, offer directions to the venue and it's also possible to make collaborative playlists so all music tastes are catered for.

Apple says hosts always get full control of their invite experience. That means they can easily view and manage their events, share invitations with a link, review RSVPs, and choose the details they want included in the preview, like the event background or a home address.
It even works with Apple Intelligence, making it easy to create unique artwork using Apple's new Image Playground software.
And, if you have Apple Intelligence on your iPhone it can help compose the perfect invitation using smart Writing Tools.
“With Apple Invites, an event comes to life from the moment the invitation is created, and users can share lasting memories even after they get together,” said Brent Chiu-Watson, Apple’s senior director of Worldwide Product Marketing for Apps and iCloud. “Apple Invites brings together capabilities our users already know and love across iPhone, iCloud, and Apple Music, making it easy to plan special events.”
