TECH NOW: Talk turkey with these high tech tools and apps

Whether you're doing all the holiday party prep on your own or family's pitching-in, prepping the perfect holiday get-together can push you right to the brink. Here are some of the top high tech kitchen tools to save the day – and your sanity.

PARTY PLANNING PERFECTED
The first step to a successful holiday party? Tackling the guest list. For that, the popular go-to is Evite. But this free service that lets you create digital invitations for any type of celebration, has a new/old trick up its sleeve. The new Evite Ink will send out good old-fashioned paper invitations too — while still tracking RSVPs online. That's a nice touch if you want to create a keepsake of your party. Or just surprise your loved ones with the fact that someone in the digital age still knows how to navigate snail mail and has the social graces to actually use it.
PLAN YOUR PARTY AND MENU WITH THE LATEST APPS
Food52's iOS app is a foodie-favorite filled with insider tips, tricks and advice on everything from mouthwatering meal planning to setting stunning tables. This holiday helper even has a 24-7 hotline, available in a pinch to answer all your burning questions. Pair that with the BigOven app, which features a database of over 250,000 recipes, and you've got the ingredients for a perfect party.
