Themes — Partyyy

World 01 of 13

The
Speakeasy

The back room of a prohibition bar. Art-deco brass rules on candlelit coal green, Limelight display over smallcaps, square-cornered booths and a sepia wash on every photograph. Guests aren't on a list — they're in the know, and the RSVP is their standing at the door.

An unmarked door with a peephole that slides open on the hub, under a deco sunburst fan and a bare bulb.
The Barman answers questions — the party AI, renamed and rewritten in the theme's own voice, on every page inside the world.
Gramophone crackle, booth murmur and a lazy walking upright bass as the ambient bed, off until a guest asks for it.
Every party page becomes a back room: the ledger, the booth, the office.

World 02 of 13

Field Day

A tiny greenfield festival at dusk — Glastonbury scaled to one field. Indigo sky settling onto dark grass, lineup-poster headings with a pink drop shadow, marker-pen notes and wristband buttons. Your party is billed as the headliner.

The RSVP is a wristband — on, watching the weather forecast, or stopping home this year.
Stages, stalls and tents instead of tiles: the box office, the campsite, the info point, the lost property tent.
Bunting, a pyramid stage and a dancing crowd, drawn in CSS and SVG rather than pasted in as artwork.
The main stage on the wind — bass throb, crowd murmur, a cheer every twenty seconds.

World 03 of 13

The
Masquerade

A Venetian masked ball. Midnight violet under gold chandelier pools with a blush of rose, engraved caps over Garamond, calligraphy accents and gilt-framed sepia portraits. The invitation is answered on a dance card, and identities are checked at the door.

Guests reply by footman — mask fitted, lingering at the staircase, or regrets sent.
Identities checked at the door — every guest gets a mask, and the gallery keeps the whispers about who is behind which one.
The Major-Domo takes questions, and the grand rooms replace the tile grid: the silver salver, the gallery, the host's study.
A lowpassed waltz in 3/4 under hall murmur and candle flutter.

Worlds 04 — 13

And ten more
where those came from.

A dating-game show, a disco, a summer camp, a séance, a stage in a spotlit arena, a New Year's ballroom, a fire circle on a mountain. Each one is a complete skin with its own type, palette, wording and ambient sound, built exactly like the three above — and each is one tap on the guest dashboard.

The Love Lounge

ready to mingle

A seventies dating-game show in a velvet cocktail lounge. Neon hearts, gold trim, a scorecard instead of an RSVP — and the matchmaking booth billed as tonight's main event. Built for a singles party.

Boogie Nights

the floor is open

A seventies disco after dark: a glitterball over a lit-up floor, magenta and cyan neon on midnight black. Rooms of the club instead of tiles, and a four-on-the-floor thump through the wall.

Eurovision Night

douze points

Grand final night in a spotlit arena. Guests are delegations, the green room opens, and the televote wears the douze-points ribbon. Lower-third headings, gold and coral, an arena crowd under a synth pad.

Camp Wildwood

see you at the flagpole

An American summer camp in daylight — the second fully light theme. Pennants, merit badges, the chore wheel and the buddy system, in poster paint on warm canvas. Pines, crickets and a campfire.

The Grand Départ hub — polka-dot banner over the road to the mountains

Le Grand Départ

chapeau!

July at the Tour. Chalk-white roadside, maillot-jaune yellow and polka dots, race-board type. The RSVP is sign-on at the start village and the last to reply rides the broom wagon. Cowbells included.

The Séance

knock once for yes

A Victorian spiritualist parlour by candlelight. Wax and walnut, a spirit board with a drifting planchette, mourning-card rules — and a table that knocks back once for yes while you read.

The Stars and Stripes hub — fireworks over a backyard picket fence

Stars & Stripes

happy fourth!

A Fourth of July backyard at dusk. Fireworks over the picket fence, bunting on the porch, a circus-poster face and a pie contest judged severely. The RSVP is signed John Hancock sized.

The Dossier

shaken, not stirred

A black-tie spy thriller at midnight. Champagne platinum on tuxedo black, a mission brief instead of a countdown, a dossier for every guest, Q Branch on the tile grid and M's office behind the admin door.

The Countdown

see you at midnight

A New Year's Eve ballroom at one minute to twelve. Confetti in the rafters, a great clock with its hands a minute short, gilt-edged plates on midnight navy — and the midnight kiss billed as the main event. Ticking, corks and distant fireworks.

Tribal Burn

see you by the fire

Night at the fire circle on a luxury mountain burn. Firelit gold rising off the bottom of every page under cold pine starlight, the Firekeeper answering questions, and the tent list as the headline — because a weekend away lives or dies on it.

Every one of these reskins the whole guest experience, not just its own hub — and each carries its own procedurally generated ambient bed, off until a guest asks for it.

Your call, per party

Off until you
switch one on.

The pre-built themes used to appear on every party's dashboard, which is right for an alien party and an intrusion on a wedding. Now a party runs in one of three modes — your standard theme, a pre-built theme, or a custom theme — and the Pre-built page is a catalogue you press one button on.

01

Use this theme

One button per world. Press it and every guest page is that world, top to bottom — the mode follows the choice. Press Use the standard theme and it's your own look again; a world you leave stays an optional door guests may wander into.

02

Then make it yours

Once a world is the party's, its wording is editable — the headline card, the standing lines, every room's title and blurb — on the hub itself, in the world's own look, so you see the words where the guests will.

03

Preview before you commit

Each theme card in the catalogue shows a live miniature of that world's own hub — the real page, running, at thumbnail size. Click through for the full walk-through.

The pre-built themes catalogue: the three modes across the top, and theme cards each carrying a live miniature of that world's own hub with a Use this theme button — The picker · live miniatures, ticked per partyhost view

Nothing is lost when you switch. Your standard theme keeps its settings underneath a pre-built one — fonts, buttons, ticket and wording are covered over, not replaced — and comes back the moment the theme comes off.

What it costs

Nothing.
All thirteen, included.

Every world above comes with your account, on every plan including the free one. No unlock, no credits, no per-party fee — switch them on for a party from Event settings → Theming and they're live.

Every theme we've built, on every party you host, for as long as the account exists.
Every theme we build next, the day it ships. You'll just find it in the picker.
All the rest of theming too — the studio, fonts, colours, wording, the hero ticket — free on every plan.
And a fourteenth if you want one — designed by the custom-theme studio while you watch, or hand-built by us. Two prices, over there.

How the overlays work

One switch, everything
downstream of it.

01

You enable, guests opt in

You choose which worlds this party offers. A tile on the dashboard engages one; a link in its navigation drops back to standard. The choice is remembered per guest.

02

Every page follows

The theme reskins every guest page, not just its own hub — so the leaderboard, badges, voting, polls and jobs board all stay inside the fiction.

03

Phases follow too

Each theme has its own words for the countdown, the night itself and the afterglow. The party underneath is the same party.

04

Sound is optional

Each theme has a procedurally generated ambient bed — no audio files. Off by default, remembered per theme, with the iOS silent-switch problem handled.

05

Only one at a time

Engaging a theme drops the others, so the guest experience never ends up wearing two costumes at once.

06

Admin stays admin

Themes never load on the host side. Your control room looks the same whichever world your guests are in.

The standard theme

A conversation,
and the whole party
is dressed.

There are dozens of customisation fields behind a party — fonts, heading and button styling, the hero ticket, twenty-odd dashboard strings, ten email templates, nine WhatsApp templates, the party AI's persona. On your third party those are the right controls. On your first they are eleven pages of blank boxes.

So the party planner asks what the party is — one question at a time, most of them answered with a tap — and composes all of them at once, in the background, while you get on with the guest list. It's the first thing you see after naming a party, and every field it wrote stays yours to tune by hand on the Standard theme page.

01

Tell it about the party

The planner asks what kind of party, where, when, who's staying, whether there's food — fourteen facts, written onto the party as you answer. Nine complete starter looks sit underneath it, hand-written, and the kind of party it worked out lights the right one.

02

It composes the look

Fonts, palette, ticket, every dashboard string, the emails, the WhatsApp copy and the persona — composed together for that party, and written only into what's still blank. A look you'd already picked stays picked.

03

Tune it by hand

The Standard theme page is pickers, not textareas: party-type chips, fonts that show every face as itself, palettes, the hero treatment, a live phone preview. Rewrite the dashboard wording on the dashboard itself. The raw CSS has a page of its own.

The standard theme page: party-type chips, font and palette pickers, and a live phone preview beside them — Standard theme · picked, previewed livehost view

What the planner writes: Heading and body fonts, heading and button styling, the hero ticket treatment, the dashboard subtitle and every tile and phase name, the emails, the WhatsApp copy, how your party AI talks to guests, and the info pages — the guests' one, and on a paid party the strangers' one too.
Works without AI: The nine starter looks are the whole feature on a deployment with no model key — and they're the fallback for anything the model leaves blank, so a composed theme is never half-finished.
The model writes a brief, not the code: It returns fonts, colours, labels and copy as structured data; we render the CSS, the email HTML and the message templates from it. Nothing a model wrote is injected raw into your guests' pages.
Placeholders that actually resolve: Message copy is only offered the placeholders this event can fill. An event with no venue set never gets copy that would reach a guest reading {{ location }}.
Rewrite one section at a time: Every message-settings page carries its own rewrite button, which drafts in the party's own palette and fonts, shows you the draft in the field, and writes nothing until you press Save.
Nothing is overwritten: The planner fills blanks. An email you wrote, a look you chose, a switch you set — it reads them as decisions and leaves them alone, however many times you run it.

Custom themes

A fourteenth world,
designed for your party
while you watch.

The thirteen above are the ones we built. If none of them is your party, describe yours and Claude designs a whole new world for it — its name, its palette, its typography, the wording of every room on the hub, the RSVP and phase captions, and a hand-drawn masthead scene. Not a colour preset with your name on it. A world.

Generating and revising are free and unlimited. You only pay when you switch one on for your guests.

01

Describe it, then sharpen it

Say what the party is in your own words. You get back an editable creative brief, some name ideas and a few questions worth answering — the refine-the-prompt step, before anything is built.

02

Preview the real thing

The preview is your world's actual hub, running through the same pipeline your guests would get — not a mock-up that flatters. Open it full-screen and walk around it.

03

Revise until it's yours

"Warmer, and lose the skulls." The previous version rides along with your notes, so it converges instead of starting over. Up to ten worlds per party, generated as often as you like.

The custom themes page: a box to describe the party, and two generated themes in draft with walk-through, revise, activate and discard buttons — Custom themes · describe, preview, revisehost view

A real theme, not a skin: A generated world sits in the picker beside the thirteen and behaves identically: it reskins every guest page, it can be the default everybody starts inside, it renames your party AI, and it picks one of the existing ambient beds. Guests cannot tell which kind they're in.
Structure, not just colour: The hub can be a plate grid, a mono terminal readout or a period broadsheet front page. On top of that: a full-page finish (scanlines, paper grain, vignette, starfield, neon haze), a masthead treatment, and an optional redacted venue that guests tap to declassify.
It can't drop a feature: The rooms are fixed — RSVP, who's coming, info, sleeping, activities, the party AI, group chat, jobs, voting, polls, badges, leaderboard, matchmaking, admin. The model writes what each one is called in your world; it never decides which ones exist.
The model writes a spec, never the pages: Colours are validated hexes and every structural choice is a fixed option. We render the stylesheet from those. The one thing the model actually draws — the masthead scene — is rebuilt element by element against an allowlist, and falls back to a generated default rather than ever failing to a broken page.
Free until it's live: Describe, brief, generate, preview and revise as much as you want at no cost. A draft is visible to you alone. Turning one on for your guests is a £10 one-off — and once it's on, retiring and re-enabling it is free forever, and it sits in the pre-built catalogue beside the thirteen.

Per-event theming

And if you don't want
aliens at your wedding.

The overlays are the loud option. Underneath them, every event has its own look without writing a line of code — and if you do want to write a line of code, there's a box for that too.

Six hero treatments — classic, halloween, alien, wedding, cocktail and disco — which set the ticket, the palette and the mood.
Background and link-preview artwork per event.
Your own web fonts, plus custom CSS for headings and buttons, and a preset button gradient if you'd rather not.
Every string — tile titles, ticket wording, countdown caption, all three phase names — rewritable per event.
A live phone preview beside the editor, so you can see it before a guest does.

The theming editor with a live phone preview — Theming editorlive preview

The white-wedding treatment is a real example: an event that should absolutely not be described to its guests as being in a "hype phase" gets its own vocabulary, its own palette and a light admin skin to match.
