For managing your party invites and guest list, use Evite (free for iOS and Android). Evite is available as both a website and a mobile app, which gives you the freedom to work back and forth between a browser and your smartphone. Evite has several New Year's-themed invitation templates to choose from; once you pick an invite, setting up the rest of it is simple. Plus, the Evite app will send you push notifications for event updates, new RSVPs, or when your guests add comments to the invitation.
If you're not planning a party, but are organizing a group activity for you and your friends, there's Eventbrite(free for iOS and Android). This event finder searches for local events based on your interests. You can search for events by keyword, location, date, or type. Events are grouped into categories such as music, food and wine, festivals, and dancing. If tickets are required, you can purchase yours straight through the app and store it in Eventbrite's tickets tab or in Passbook.
