Cocodot Review & Giveaway

After feeling frustrated by the lack of options for well-designed, high quality online invitations, two LA moms, Laura Shanahan (formerly the creative director at Bobbi Brown) and Amy Neunsinger (famed fashion and lifestyle photographer, shoots the Target campaigns) joined forces to create cocodot, the hottest new eco-chic entertaining solution.

Cocodot allows you to save time, money and energy without compromising style and sophistication.  With a gallery of over 6,000 exclusive images shot by Amy Neunsinger, cocodot’s invites will inspire you to host your next family get-together or party for your little one.  Unlike other online invitation sites, cocodot is ad free and offers an advanced guest management and communication platform, event home pages and easy tools for linking greetings to social networks like Facebook.

I am pleased to announce cocodot is offering *EVERYONE* a complimentary cocodot invitation for a free party event/invitation, which can be created, personalized (even with your own photos) and delivered up to 500 guests within minutes.  To use your promotional code, go to cocodot, register for an account and create a the party/event invitation.  When you get to the checkout page, you will be prompted to enter your promotional code: cocoEarth2010.  This promotional code is good now through Tuesday, June 1st, 2010!

My hubby just graduated (Yay!) and we were looking around for invitations when I was asked to try out cocodot; what perfect timing in being able to try them out!  I was absolutely blown away by cocodot’s elegance and refinement.  They have a superabundant amount of styles, themes, and genres to choose from!  Because I love being creative I chose to make our invitation from the “Create you own – Blank” section.  I too am a photographer and found cocodot’s work smart and inspiring!  I had so much fun playing around and looking at all the stunning images.  Once I found “the one” I was able to create a lovely graduation invitation.

The way I was able to transfer my contacts in my email to cocodot was practically effortless.  In no time I was able to invite all our friends and family to the graduation.  I also really appreciated cocodot’s settings – personalization and customization makes me happy.  I was notified through email when a response was received and was able to view all comments and well wishes from my graduation invitation’s page at cocodot.

Cocodot’s invitations and greeting cards are easy to send and have attracted A-list entertainers such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooke Shields, Courteney Cox, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who have all joined the cocodot craze and have made their parties “greener” by sending a cocodot invitation for their most recent soirées.

Take a look at what people are saying about cocodot:

“Paperless invitations are all the rage and cocodot takes it to another level.  With tons of designs to choose from, cocodot’s invitations and greeting cards are easy to send and excellent for the environment.”
Gwyneth Paltrow

“Online invitations are the new eco-chic way to entertain and cocodot.com is the ultimate destination for style and sophistication.”
Colin Cowie

“I love cocodot.  The cards and invitations are easy to make, unique and beautiful.  With so many different designs and options, I have an excuse to use cocodot for anything!”
Giada De Laurentiis

“Cocodot is the Bergdorf Goodman of e-vites.”
Robert Verdi

The only hiccup I came across was the way you’re supposed to write the body of the invitation – it took me a while to figure out I was supposed to write out the body first, then customize it (I was trying to do the opposite -pick my customizations first before writing the body).  After speaking with an employee from cocodot I was head-over-heals happy.  They showered me with a rare amount of attention and help, and provided insanely fabulous, authentic customer service!

Hands down I am going to continue using cocodot for all my events and greetings!  They are an unbelievable company that I hope you’re able to experience!

Coming this summer you’ll be able to send digital or printed invitations and greetings.

Cocodot has two different methods in which you can use their product; a yearly subscription and a per-use fee.  Click HERE to see prices.  Give the gift of cocodot this Father’s Day!

We’d love to hear how you used your FREE cocodot invitation!
