+ Change the language: "We have generated a pair..." makes it sound like I just ran an RSA command. shudder

+ Make the URL's less horrendous. Try to create unique combinations of words and numbers, perhaps even using a fun words dictionary: ex: http://InviteUp.com/i/party-on-330/ instead of http://InviteUp.com/i/yfncxgerht -- hey, someone might even remember it or be willing to put it on a flier.

+ I'm sure you'll get to this, but spend 10 minutes and apply some color before you show it to too many folks--maybe theme it according to the time of year.

Overall, I really like the speed and simplicity. Great job.

:-D What would you say?

Thanks. I'll apply those ideas.

Option 1: Remove it completely. I think it's pretty obvious that there are two links. The simpler you get, the more weight you give the stuff that's on the page, and to me this falls below the "useful" threshold.

Option 2: "Use the following two links to send and manage your event invites" (or something like that)
