Every birthday has one table that needs thought.

A fortieth, a sixtieth, a sweet sixteen. Old friends, new partners, the cousins who fell out. Drag people until it works, and share the plan with the venue.

No sign-up for the demo. One payment per event.

Why the notes app is not enough.

01

Family politics

The two aunts, the ex, the friend who knows nobody. A keep-apart rule means you decide it once and the plan remembers.

02

Plus-ones and drop-outs

The list moves until the day before. Add or remove a guest and drag them, without rewriting anything.

03

The venue needs a plan

A chart for the tables, dietary needs for the kitchen, and a list at the door. One plan does all three.

Sorted in an evening.

Paste the list, drag until it feels right, send the link.

  1. 1

    Add your guests

    Paste from the notes app, a message thread or a spreadsheet. Or type names in one at a time.

  2. 2

    Arrange the tables

    A long table, a few rounds, the dance floor and the cake. Drag friends together and family where they belong.

  3. 3

    Share it

    A live link for the venue and the family helping you plan. Guests find their seat on their phone.

Simple tools for a good party.

Friends with friends, family with family

Groups are colour-coded, so you can see at a glance where the work friends are and where the cousins are. Sit-with and keep-apart rules do the remembering.

The room as it will be

One long table or a handful of rounds. Put the dance floor, the cake and the gifts table where they will be.

Who has replied

Everyone on one screen with their RSVP and dietary needs. Filter by group or by who still has not answered.

Print for the door

A chart, an A to Z, and a kitchen sheet with allergies by table. Save any of them as a PDF.

A link for the venue and the family

Whoever is helping sees the same plan. Guests can look up their own table.

Planning my fiftieth with eighty guests was getting complicated. Grouping friends, family and colleagues at the right tables took the stress out of it.

For my daughter’s sweet sixteen we had so many groups of friends and family. Arranging everyone was simple and sharing the plan with the venue was easy.

Sweet sixteen
My guest list kept changing. I rearranged everything in seconds. No more crossing names out on paper.

Paste it from anywhere: the notes app, a message thread, a spreadsheet. Or add names one at a time.

Yes. Give guests a group, and set sit-with and keep-apart rules for the people who need them. The checks warn you if a rule is broken.

Remove them or mark them declined, and drag anyone who needs to move. Everyone with the link sees the current plan.

Yes. Each guest has an RSVP status and you can filter the list by who has not replied.

Yes. The floor plan shows your tables, the dance floor and the rest of the room, and you can move tables around.
