The host tour

The room
behind the party.

Every number live, every guest one click away, and a shortlist of exactly who to poke next. This is where you'll spend twenty minutes a week for two months, and about four minutes on the night.

Command centre

One screen that answers
every question you have.

Confirmed against capacity. Response rate. Who's never opened the link. A cumulative RSVP momentum curve so you can see whether the invitations are working. And a ranked "needs attention" list with a nudge button beside each name.

Press / and say where you want to be
The console is two hundred and fifty screens, and the nav can only tell you what exists. Press / anywhere and type what you mean instead — invite lock, who's sleeping where, Bea's RSVP — and it lands you on the page, scrolled to the actual field and ringed, without switching anything on the way. It searches your parties and your guests too, and only ever offers pages you could already reach.
One nav, both sides of the party
Your console navigation comes with you onto the guest pages — including the themed ones — so previewing your own party, or landing on it from a link you sent yourself, never means finding your way back to the admin. On a phone it folds down to icons and stays out of the way.
Preview as a guest, for real
Not a mock-up: it opens the actual guest session, on the actual pages, inside whatever theme that guest would be in. You can also jump the party forward to party day or the morning after to check what those look like before they happen.

The guest list

Built for chasing,
not for admiring.

Table or cards. Filters for every slice you actually need — coming, unsure, no reply, never opened the invite, coming but no portrait, no AI render yet, not yet invited. Each row carries a WhatsApp button, an email button, a copy-link button and a photo upload.

The guest list with filter chips, RSVP pills and per-guest action buttons
Guest list · 16 guests, filteredhost view
Bring the list you actually have
Paste it in — a spreadsheet selection, a bare list of names, a ragged mix of names with the odd address — or upload the CSV your contacts app exports and the .vcf your phone does. The columns are worked out rather than declared, you're shown every reading before a single row is written, and people you've had before are matched rather than duplicated.
Bulk actions
Select a group and send the WhatsApp invite to everyone who hasn't had one, nudge everyone who's gone quiet, or fire the post-RSVP welcome at everyone who's confirmed since you last looked.
Copy, open or send
Every template has all three. Copy the message to paste it yourself, open it straight into that guest's WhatsApp chat with the words already typed — the default — or send it directly. Useful when you'd rather add a line of your own first.
Text them instead
On a paid plan the same row grows an SMS button, for the guests — and the countries — where WhatsApp isn't the thing people read. Two templates, a segment meter that tells you what a message will cost before you send it, and STOP honoured on our side for good.
Send-once protection
Templates marked send-once refuse a repeat and tell you why. Removing the guest's tag is the deliberate override.
Partner adjacency
Linked couples always render back-to-back, whatever the sort order, so you never invite half of one.
Per-guest RSVP editing
Fix a status by hand when someone tells you in person. Admin edits deliberately don't fire the automatic guest messages.
Export
CSV out, whenever you want it.

Or just say it

The bubble in the corner
does it for you.

Every screen in the console carries a chat bubble. Tell it what you want and it happens — no hunting for the right settings page, no six-screen tour. It knows your parties, your guest lists and what's still outstanding, and it reports every change with a link straight to the thing it changed.

The host assistant open over the event dashboard, answering that six guests haven't replied and that all six were already sent invitations, so they need chasing rather than sending to
Host assistant · on every console pagehost view

Things worth typing at it

  • "The party's on the 14th at 8, at the Rose & Crown."
  • "Add Sam, Ellie and Tom to the guest list."
  • "Melinda's coming — she told me at work."
  • "Write the info page. It's a ten-minute walk from the station."
  • "Add a job for the ice, on the night."
  • "What still needs doing?"
  • "Who hasn't replied yet?"

And what it won't do

It cannot message your guests. Not by accident, not if you ask it to, not if something written in your own guest list is phrased to look like an instruction — sending simply isn't one of its tools, so there's no combination of words that produces one. Deleting isn't either.

That's the trade that lets it get on with things instead of asking permission line by line: everything it can do, you can undo from the console in a click, and it shows you where.

It will happily tell you who to send to, though — and it knows the difference between a guest who was never sent an invitation and one who was sent one and went quiet. Then it points you at the filtered guest list and lets you press send yourself.

The same tools, from your phone
You're a guest of your own party, so the party's assistant on WhatsApp or Telegram recognises you as the host and hands you the same verbs — add a guest, fix an RSVP, write a page, lay out the running order, award a badge — in the thread you were already in. Nobody else on the list gets them.
Your guests get one too
The same bubble, on their side, answering their questions from your party's data instead of yours — so the four questions you'd otherwise answer forty times get answered without you. Theirs can act, too: RSVP, vote, book the boat trip, ask for a bed, log a flight — only ever for themselves.
Connect your own assistant instead
Your party site is also an MCP server, so Claude on the web or your phone, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Cursor can all drive it directly. How that works.

Jobs
Create the work by phase — lead-up, the night, the clear-up — assign a leader, a crew and a checklist, set a budget and a due date, attach a plan document, and watch guests claim the rest, tick the steps and mark their own jobs done.
Backstage
The production desk: the jobs as a phase board, named crews you can WhatsApp in one paced send, and a contact book for the DJ, the caterer and the venue — bookings, fees against job budgets, set times on the schedule, and private notes guests never see. On the day, one button sends every worker their own running order.
Where they sleep
An inventory of rooms, beds, tents and pitches, each with how many it sleeps a night. Put guests in it or let them ask and approve the queue; the desk counts every night separately, tells you who's coming with nowhere to sleep, and keeps a part-stayer's bed theirs for the whole weekend unless you free it.
Feeding them
A grid of sittings across the party's days — which is the nights plus the departure breakfast — each with its menu, its caterer and a head count worked out from the RSVPs rather than typed. It shows its working (confirmed, presumed, said no), flags a main that's short, and names any dietary need nothing on the menu answers. Then lay the tables out and it proposes who sits where, from partner links, who's sharing a room, who's on a crew and who's been to parties with whom — honouring the two people you've said to keep apart as a hard rule, not a preference.
What else is on
The clay shooting, the boat trip, the sauna hour, the club night. Each holds a set number of places and, if you want, a price a head — and the desk tracks who's on it, who's waiting, who has paid, who part-paid and who you owe a refund. A full one waitlists the next person to ask rather than turning them away, and moves the list up on its own when somebody drops. Leave the price blank and no money appears anywhere; it's simply a sign-up sheet.
Getting there
Guests log the flights, hotels and transfers they're taking — on their own page or just by telling the party's assistant — and the desk shows you the waves: five guests into Faro, Friday 17:00–19:20, the way you'd tell a taxi firm. It matches on times and places and nothing else, names who's coming but has told you nothing, and counts the journeys logged with no clock on them, because those are invisible to it. Guests can see who lines up with them, or not, as you prefer — and any one journey can be kept private, which only you ever see. This is the one module that waits to be switched on.
Picking the date
When the party exists before its date does, put a few days up and let the guests say which they can do — yes, maybe or no against each — and read it back as a grid of people rather than a bar chart, because who can make the 12th is the question. Pick the winner and everyone who said yes is marked Coming in one press; the maybes are left alone and named, so you know who to ask.
Signups, or just a link
For the party people ask to join rather than get invited to. Switch a party to signup mode and it gets a public promo page in your own theme, with your sell copy, your how-to-pay details and a review queue behind it. Approving turns a signup into a guest, RSVP'd Coming — and sends nothing on your behalf. We're not a ticketing platform: no payments, no tickets issued, no cut. Or skip the queue entirely: a party can be one link you paste into the group chat, and whoever opens it is on the list and RSVPs themselves.
Badges
Award from the guest list, from a guest's profile, or in bulk after the party. Notifications optional.
Karma weights
One screen, six numbers, applied everywhere retroactively.

On the night

Two screens and
then stop working.

The TV wall goes on a screen in the corner and looks after itself. The attendance list goes in your pocket. That's the whole job.

  • Attendance check-off — everyone who said they were coming, three taps each, live counts of attended, no-show and apologies.
  • The live wall — three rotating columns, nine saved layouts, OLED protection for a nine-hour night.
  • The wall they write on — a comment box on the party page itself, for the "who's on the 22:47 back" and the "chilli's on at nine". Nothing pings anybody; it's somewhere to look, not something that goes off in a pocket.
  • Photo album — batch upload the next morning, tag by guest and event afterwards, and every guest sees the ones they're in.

Setting one up

Name it. Then
just talk.

A new party is three fields and a button. After that a planner asks you about it — one question at a time, most of them answered with a tap — and sets the party up as you go: the date, the place, how guests get in, whether anyone's staying over, whether there's food, which games you want. Everything past that is either its problem or yours, and you can change your mind at any point.

The create-a-party form: a name, an optional date with a 'don't know yet — ask the guests' box under it, a location, and how people get in — add them yourself, anyone with the link, or public sign-up
Create a party · three fields and a questionthen the planner

The party planner

The first thing you see after creating a party.

It asks what the party is and keeps asking until it has enough — fourteen facts, written straight onto the party as you answer, so a reload loses nothing. Then it composes the rest in the background: the look, every word on the dashboard, the emails, the WhatsApp copy, the personality your party AI answers in, and the info page redrafted now that it knows what it's describing.

  • Tappable answers under every question, with a real "no" beside every "not yet" — no set times, come and go is an answer; I'll fill that in later isn't.
  • The panel beside the chat is the form. Every fact it heard is a field, pre-filled, so a wrong reading is fixed by typing over it rather than arguing with a chatbot.
  • Nine hand-written starter looks if you'd rather point at one — Halloween, wedding, birthday, cocktail, club night, festive, sci-fi, summer, work do — and the kind of party it worked out lights the right one.
  • It fills blanks and never overwrites. A look you already picked, an email you already wrote, a switch you already set — all yours. It only ever writes into what's empty.
  • Works without a model key. No key, no chat box — the form still runs end to end and the starter look still lands.

The look
Heading and body fonts, palette, heading and button styling, the hero ticket treatment — composed together so they read as one party.
Dashboard wording
The subtitle, the countdown caption, all three phase names and every tile title, in the party's own voice.
Every email a guest gets
Invitation, welcome, reminder, sign-in links, no-reply chase, no-show note, payment details, job assignment, badge notification, poll reminder — ten kinds, each in HTML you can edit, each with a preview and a "send this to me".
WhatsApp copy
Invite, nudge, party info, photo request, ask-a-favour and three of your own — using only the placeholders this party can actually fill.
Party AI persona
How your AI host talks to guests when they ask it something, unless you said you didn't want one.
The front door
It asks how guests get in — invitation only, one link, or paid sign-ups — and writes the right first email: a paid guest gets a welcome, not an invitation to something they've already bought.
The info pages
The guests' page, redrafted with the full picture. On a paid party, the strangers' page too — what it is, what's included, what it costs.
What it leaves off
The betting book, the matchmaker, the TV wall and the photo album stay switched off until you ask — most parties never run them, and a wedding shouldn't ship with a book on who catches the bouquet.

And afterwards

Eleven settings screens,
none of them mandatory.

Everything the planner wrote, editable by hand — grouped so you're never scrolling through WhatsApp templates looking for the venue capacity. One floating Save on every one of them, and the planner is a chip away whenever you want it back.

General

Name, date, location, occasion, the party description the planner keeps, capacity, contact numbers and the group chat link.

Guest list

The invite lock, how guests get in — invitation, one link, or paid sign-ups — the how-to-pay copy and the public More info page, edited in place.

Themes

Three ways to dress a party: your standard look, tuned by hand; a pre-built theme from the catalogue; or a custom one generated for this party alone.

Custom CSS

The raw stylesheet, on a page of its own — so the people who want it have it and nobody else trips over it.

Guest features

Every module as a switch: badges, the league table, matchmaking, the book, jobs, beds, meals, activities, travel, photos, portraits, the wall, the TV, the party AI.

RSVP form

Which sections appear, your five custom questions, and the relationship-status option list.

AI host

The persona your party AI answers in, with a writer that drafts one for review, and whether guests can reach it on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp

Nine templates, each with its own button title and an Active switch, the automatic post-RSVP welcome, and whether copy buttons open WhatsApp or the clipboard.

SMS

Two templates with a segment meter under each, so you know what a message costs before it goes. Off until you switch them on, because texts cost money.

Email

Ten templates with HTML and plain-text previews side by side, and a "send this to me" that puts the real thing in your own inbox first.

TV dashboard

The three wall columns, the photo carousel source, and the OLED protection for a nine-hour night.

The persona you set on the way through is what your guests' party AI answers in — a chat page on their own dashboard that fields "what time does it start" so your phone doesn't. It only ever knows what a guest could already read for themselves.

Once, for the whole account

And nine you'll
set up once and forget.

Those eleven are per party. These are account-wide — done on your first party and inherited by every one after it.

Account

Your party brand's name — the heading on your site, and the name your invitations arrive from once a sending domain is live — and your own mobile, so the party's assistant on WhatsApp knows you're the host.

Sign-in

Connect or disconnect Google, Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo, or set a password. Sign up with a provider and you never have one — and we refuse to remove your last way in, so you can't lock yourself out of your own party.

Guide

The whole console walked page by page, with a screenshot of every one, inside your own account. Not a support site you get sent to — a manual that ships with the thing it documents, so it can't describe a version you aren't running.

Telegram

Paste a bot token from BotFather and your guests have an AI concierge on Telegram. We verify the token with Telegram before storing it, tell you in their words if it's wrong, and never show it back.

WhatsApp

Point a party's "ask on WhatsApp" door at our number and your party's own assistant answers there — one tick, no Business account. Want your own number? Connect it through Meta's own sign-up flow, and the invitations go out under your name on approved wording.

Guest chats

Every conversation your assistant is having, on the web, Telegram and WhatsApp, in one queue: let a stranger in, block one, or tell it which party a thread is about.

API keys

Issue read-only or full-access keys for your own scripts and tools. Shown once, revocable one at a time, scoped to your account and nothing else.

Connect an assistant

Your party site's MCP address, click-to-copy, with the steps for Claude and ChatGPT connectors and the paste-in command for Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Cursor — plus what's connected right now.

API reference

The whole API, in your console: every endpoint, parameter, response and access level, with the examples already written against your own site's address. Generated from the running code, so it can't go stale.

Across parties

Nine parties in,
it gets easier
not harder.

The events list is the top of the whole system: every party you've thrown, every RSVP split, and the guest book underneath it all. Start a new one by pulling people straight from the last one.

  • Each party on its own address if you want it — a subdomain on any of our seven domains, as many as you like per account, or a domain you own.
  • One guest book, so karma and history follow people forward.
  • A locked guest list while you're deciding, invisible to guests browsing your other parties.
  • Photos, badges and the leaderboard all span events by default.
