LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The party experts at Evite are seeing a big trend in tiny parties. Over the past 12 months, 9.3% of events planned across the U.S. using the Evite® platform had five or fewer invited guests, an increase of 11.8% from 2016.

To provide inspiration and introduce creative ways to pull off parties in small spaces, the company has launched its first ever Evite Tiny Party Challenge sweepstakes. To watch the video and vote for your favorite Evite Tiny Party, click here.

Evite influencers Sam Ushiro (www.awwsam.com) and Jenni Radosevich (www.ispydiy.com) are going head-to-head to create a "Friendsgiving" party in a small space using a budget of $500 each.
