HUH? what the heck is inlu?

In a nutshell: online invitations and announcements with a built in bucket. Plan any event, track RSVPs and ask friends and family to contribute to a gift AND / OR a charity in ONE transaction. We do the hard part- pooling, allocating and sending funds. This way, you can collect enough cash to cover something special (say a yoga pass or a new tricycle) but still donate to charity, without coordinating multiple collections. When the collection ends, gift money goes one way, charity funds go another. Also, when guests RSVP and pitch-in, they get to leave a public message (look ma, no card!).
Inlu is the easiest way to round up funds for a gift, charity or both. It’s also a savvy way to shop locally for unique gifts like: artwork, classes, dinner certificates and more. You name it, you can inlu it. Pitching-in, makes the planet a happier place. Go ahead, try it!
(Isn’t this an awesome inlu idea?:)

Parker
We’re proud to feature one of our first live INLU events: a birthday party for the cutest ginger kid on the planet, Sully. In lieu of gifts, his family asked friends and family members to pitch in on behalf of the recent passing of the family’s best friend, Parker the Dog.
From all (4) of us at Inlu.com, we would like to wish Sully a happy birthday and send a salute to Parker. He was the coolest ginger dog on the planet. And BTW, he’s missed by Roxy the fat lab, over here in VT.
RIP Parker
Read the actual Inlu below:
As you all know, we had to reschedule Sully’s 3rd birthday party. Well, since Sully doesn’t believe that he’s really turned 3 due to the lack of a party, we feel it’s time to celebrate! Please join us for a morning picnic at Observatory park. We’ll provide the snacks and beverages, you just bring a blanket to sit on and plenty of sunscreen!!
Also, as a sidenote, many of you have already given Sully a birthday gift, so “inlu” of more presents (he has plenty) we would like to suggest that you donate to the Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue. Of course, this would be on behalf of Sully’s friend, Parker.
To pitch in for something special:
Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue
As you know, we feel very strong about our pups, and GRFR is an amazing organization that matches deserving families with great dogs.
