if @invitation.save

else
error_message = '<div class="error_message">' + @invitation.errors.full_messages.map {|error| "<p>#{error}</p>"}.join + "</div>"

model
class Invite < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :email, :presence => true, :uniqueness => true
validates_format_of :email, :with => /^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i
end
this will either save to the db and show a success msg or throw an error if exist...
i want to show the success msg even if the email already exist in the database so it wont show that the email has already been added
