Plan together

Groups share one address book and plan parties together. Add a co-host to just one party.

Groups

A group is a family, a class, a team or a club that shares an address book and plans its parties together. One sign-in can be in several groups.

1. Tap your initials at the top, open Settings, and under Groups tap Start a new group (or tap + New group in the address book). Give it a name and a kind, and tap Start the group.
2. On the group’s page, add members under Add a member with their name and email. With Email them how to sign in ticked, they get an email telling them how: they enter their email and get a sign-in code, no password.
3. Owners add and remove members, make other members owners, and rename the group.

When you’re in more than one group, pick the one you’re working in from the menu under your initials (or Switch to it in Settings, under Groups); it changes the group you’re working in, and the address book has a button for each of your other groups. Parties shows every party you host, labeled with its group.

In a family group, every member hosts a new party unless you untick them. In other kinds, a new party starts with just you. To keep a party a surprise from someone in the group, untick them under Who can see this party in Edit details.

Co-hosts for one party

Planning one party with someone outside the group (a sibling for Mom’s 70th, say)? On the party page under Hosts, tap Add a co-host for this party, enter their name and email, and tap Add co-host. They see that party only: its guest list, RSVPs, sending and to-do list, never your address book or other parties. Their access ends two weeks after the party.

Share the work

Each party has a To-do list only hosts see. Add what needs doing, choose who’s on it (or Anyone), tap Add, and tick it off when it’s done. Recent activity shows who did what: RSVPs, sends and changes.
