This is one of my favorite free web apps. I have been waiting patiently to introduce to you, but it has been in its beta stage and was invite only. But now, everyone can use it! I used SetDot for a couple of my own events when it went beta. There were some bugs that I found, but they fixed them very quickly and it seems to be working perfectly now.
Basically, what SetDot does is allows you to create an event, invite people, and manage the invitations. An invitation is sent to their email. They can easily select to accept or decline. SetDot keeps a tally of who has declined/accepted so you can plan better. Read posts with reasons why they cannot attend. SetDot provides you a virtual information spot where people can go and get all the information about your event. I personally put together an event with over a dozen people using this system and it worked seamlessly. You can use this to schedule your staff events, schedule a youth event, or even just get some people together for dinner. Check out the screen shot of a sample event that I created, and a sample email your invitees will receive.
