Stop chasing RSVPs. Send your invitations by text – guests reply from the link, with no app and no account – and see who's coming at a glance. PartyFellow keeps the whole party in one place: the guest list, the replies, the wishlist, the group gift, the chat and the photos. From a kid's birthday to a 40th, a graduation or a wedding, it's just as easy every time. GUESTS AND RSVPS • Invite people straight from your contacts. Guests with the app get a notification; everyone else gets a text with a link and replies right from their phone. • See who has opened the invite, who has replied and who you're still waiting on. • Nudge the rest with one tap. • Plus-ones and allergies, all in one list. • Throwing a kids' party? The invite goes to each parent's phone, with the child's name on it. GIFTS WITHOUT THE DRAMA • A wishlist with links, prices and pictures. Paste a link from an online store and the name, price and picture fill in automatically – or share it straight from your browser. • Guests reserve a gift. Everyone sees it's taken, but not by whom. No more duplicate gifts. • Group gifts: team up on something bigger and see who's in and for how much. PartyFellow keeps track of who pledged what – you settle the money between yourselves, like always. • Planning your own party? Gifts and group purchases stay hidden from you, so the surprise survives. BETTER TOGETHER • One chat per party for you and everyone who said yes. • Every group gift gets its own chat – minus the person you're celebrating. • Plan it with co-hosts. • A shared photo album: guests upload their pics, and everyone can see, like and save them. Photo uploads are an in-app purchase, shared by everyone at the party. FOR EVERY KIND OF PARTY Birthday parties, kids' parties, weddings, graduations, New Year's Eve parties, baby showers, bridal showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, baptisms, confirmations, anniversaries – or whatever you're celebrating. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your event: type, date, location and a reply-by date. 2. Pick guests from your contacts and send the invites. 3. Sit back. Replies, gifts and photos all come to you. PRICING Free to download. Your first two events are free, then each event is a small in-app purchase. Photo uploads for the album are a separate in-app purchase. Questions or ideas?
