NORTH MANKATO, Minnesota (January 26, 2010) – Invitations by Dawn, a leader in printed themed wedding invitations, is pleased to announce a partnership with pingg.com, the premier online invitation and event management company.

The partnership between these two invitation companies, both leaders in their respective spaces, will provide bridal couples with FREE matching digital versions of more than 40 of Dawn’s most popular printed invitation designs.  To view the entire collection, see Invitations by Dawn on pingg.

“Today’s brides want fully coordinated wedding communications, which include digital options for keeping their guests informed and updated about all their wedding events,” says Invitations by Dawn brand manager Meghann Scott.  ”This collaboration with pingg will make it easier than ever for brides to create a beautiful and consistent look that includes both print and digital communications.  From more formal printed invitations to digital engagement announcements, save the date requests, bachelorette party invitations or rehearsal dinner invitations, brides now have access to both and can tie their entire theme together.”

This revolutionary, print-digital partnership is the first of its kind in the wedding invitation market.  “We originally developed pingg to provide hosts the opportunity to create, send and manage stylish-looking digital invitations for life’s more formal events,” says co-founder Lorien Gabel.  “Today more than 20% of the events planned on pingg are wedding-related, and we’re excited that our collaboration with Invitations by Dawn will help create a unique, full-service offering to today’s brides.”

In addition to digital designs the online tools available from pingg also allow brides and other event planners to easily and simply manage guest lists, keep track of RVSPs, attach gift registries and more.
