Get your event dates automatically with Punchbowl
MyPunchbowl, the online party planning application, uses an algorithm to pick the best date for an event based on the actual responses of people that RSVP to the invitation. The "Pick a Date" feature recommends the best date from a set of dates that are supplied by the hosting party, in real time. As responses are received, the algorithm then recalculates the best possible date based on individual's status and VIP stature.

This sure beats spending hours sending out invitations and calling around to try and organize a party that everyone can attend.
