If the banquet is so cheap that e-mail is used to send the invites
then the fare is probably just as cheap. Really expecting a high
percentage of replies to an *e-mail* for a banquet?
Since you used the term "evite", why aren't you using evite.com? They
are an IAC Company member which means when you signup that you
establish a business relationship with the 60 brands of IAC who can
then spam you legally from all their affiliate companies, their
partners, or other 3rd parties (go read their so-called "privacy"
policy). I suspect they may also spam whomever answers your evites.
Since the maker of Gator spyware (changed name to Claria) invested in
evite (

if you want to trust them not to install spyware on your host.

There are probably better services. Google around
(

pick your own search criteria).
Outlook is a PIM that includes e-mail. It has meeting management
where you can send out invites and the recipients can accept and even
add it to their calendars but I doubt your 1000 invitees are all using
the same Exchange server.
