Very clean looking site, and a good idea.

Kudos on the ‘personalized messages to invitation email’. A seemingly  
obvious idea that no-one seems to implement.

## Seems cool, which plugin are you using to handle Google Maps (doesn’t geoloc works well ?)

neat idea, nice look.

one suggestion: add a way to generate directions from a location  
within your map. for instance, i don’t necessarily know how to get to  
the party location from wherever i am. i enter my address and google  
maps provides the directions which i can then print.

also, is there rsvp functionality? i didn’t see it in the examples.

great job.
