How it works

A party in eight steps

From the first idea to the thank-you: what you do, when you do it, and what letsparty does for you. For every feature and the plan it comes with, see Features and Pricing.

  1. The day you have the idea

    Answer five questions

    What you’re celebrating, when, where, the look and the details, one at a time, with the real invite taking shape beside them.

    • The wording writes itself for the occasion, and you can change every word
    • No date yet? Start with a date poll and let guests vote
    • Host all year? Your year lays out the birthdays and holidays ahead

    In the appPlan a party

    Plan your first party →
    The first question: what are we celebrating, with a milestone birthday picked.

  2. Same sitting, ten minutes

    Pick a look, add your photo

    Designs from funny to formal, in collections for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and every season’s holidays. Some put your photo right on the card.

    • Pick how it opens: an envelope with their name on it, a gift box, a ticket, candles to blow out
    • Add music as it opens and confetti, petals or snow after
    • Or upload your own art, with colors picked from your picture
    • The preview is the real invite, not a mock-up

  3. Once, then for every party

    Your guests, by household

    Import your phone’s contacts or a spreadsheet, then put couples and families together so each household gets one invite.

    • Guests confirm their own address and phone
    • Lists like Cousins or Book club add everyone at once
    • A class or a team? One join link, and each family adds itself

    A class party’s join page, where each family adds itself to the guest list.

  4. Three to six weeks before

    Send it from your own phone

    Each household gets its own link, texted from your number so they actually open it, or emailed with your name on it.

    • On iPhone, one tap texts everyone after a one-time setup; on any phone, one at a time
    • Their name on the envelope, with a stamp and a postmark
    • In English or Spanish, for the party or one household
    • Only the guests you invite ever see the address

  5. Until your RSVP-by date

    Watch the answers come in

    Yes, maybe or can’t make it, by name, with a meal choice or allergies for each person. Tap any number to see exactly who.

    • See who has opened the invite and who hasn’t
    • Nudge whoever hasn’t answered; the yeses get a reminder before the day
    • Plans changed? One update reaches everyone

    In the appNudgeSend an update

    Track your RSVPs →
    The RSVP: yes, maybe or can’t make it, then each person coming with their dinner choice.
    The party page’s counts: coming, maybe, can’t make it and haven’t answered.

  6. The week of

    Hand the venue a headcount

    A live headcount and meal choices for the restaurant or caterer, with no names and no sign-in.

    • Room for 40? Past the limit, yeses join a waitlist you control
    • A what-to-bring sign-up keeps the dishes balanced
    • A seating chart, and each guest’s table on their invite
    • Print a headcount sheet with everyone’s notes

  7. The day of

    Everything guests need, on the invite

    The schedule, the forecast, parking notes and who’s coming, plus a photo wall that fills up as the party goes.

    • Selfies show who’s coming, in the design’s own style
    • Guests ask a question; you answer once, for everyone
    • Check guests in at the door from your phone
    • A QR sign on the table, and a slideshow for the TV

    In the appCheck-inPrint the table signSlideshow for the TV

    Check-in at the door: 10 here of 15 expected, two walk-ins, and each household with a Here button or its count.
    The photo wall for a backyard barbecue: a dog in a bandana, cornhole at sunset and a dessert table.

  8. The day after

    Say thanks, keep the memories

    A thank-you to everyone who came, the wishes to print, every photo in one place, and next year’s party already started.

    • Print the guests’ wishes as a keepsake
    • Hide any photo you’d rather not keep
    • Copy the party, guest list and all, for next year

    In the appSend a thank-youCopy party

    After the party →
    The guest wall with notes like “Seventy years young. Can’t wait to celebrate you!”
