Crusher was a free web-based invitation service, a competitor to Evite,[1] based in San Francisco, California. Crusher was a service to create customizable invites for social events.

Crusher Inc. began roughly in August 2006 and launched its beta service in May 2007. Crusher was conceived out of the frustrations of using Evite and a perceived lack of alternatives. It was founded by Ericson deJesus (of Yahoo! and frog design) and Phillip Bensaid (of frog design) and its beta development was led by Doug McBride (of Ofoto) and Russell Richardson (of Microsoft and Siebel).

In 2008 the Crusher team disbanded to take on other employment. [2][3][4][5]
