Party Animals: Austin Named 3rd Largest Party City in US

Austinites love to get the party started.

At least, according to data collected by Evite, the online invitation and party planning service. To round out the year, the website did a study to find out where people click “yes” most often on Evite RSVPs. The service used that data to compile a list of the Top 10 U.S. Party Cities.

Austin placed third in both the party animal, and weekend warrior, categories. The party animal ranking reflects overall “yes,” clicks on RSVPs and the weekend warrior category ranked the cities that party the hardest on weekends.

The only two cities to beat Austin? In-sate rival Houston and Chicago.

Overall, 708,253 people responded “yes,” to Evites in Austin this year, with 48,526 coming on the weekend. Other cities that were featured on the list include San Diego, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.

“We view every ’yes’ RSVP to an Evite invitation as an opportunity for that person to make new face-to-face connections and lasting memories,” Evite CEO Victor Cho said on the Top 10 list.
