HAFLAH — Host any event. Start free. One beautiful invitation. Every detail in one place. No app download for your guests. AN INVITATION THEY'LL OPEN LIKE A LETTER Guests open an envelope, not a spreadsheet. Choose a designed invitation, add your own music, and make it yours. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Drop one open link in the group chat, or send someone their own personal invite with seats saved just for them. GUESTS RSVP IN ONE TAP Guests reply right from the invite, in their browser. Change of plans? They can update their reply any time. ONE EVENT — ADD WHAT YOU NEED No rigid event types. Create your event, then turn on what it actually needs. Add or remove anything, anytime. Every feature is free. RSVPS AND GUEST LIST Watch replies come in live. Track headcounts and who hasn't answered, and send a friendly reminder in a tap. Ask your own questions: meal choice, dietary needs, anything you need to know. POTLUCKS WITHOUT FIVE SALADS A dish board with categories and dietary tags. Guests claim a dish, so everyone sees what's still needed. TIME SLOTS Let guests book a time: henna appointments, open houses, fittings. Full slots get a waitlist. CO-HOSTS, YOUR WAY Bring in help and choose what each person can do: door duty, a helper, or a full partner. Money and payouts stay with you. MESSAGES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Send an update to everyone at once and it lands right on their invitation. Guests can react, and you decide whether they can message you. QR CHECK-IN, IF YOU WANT IT Turn it on and everyone in the party gets their own pass. Your team scans from any phone. No equipment, no line. SEATING AND SCHEDULE Plan your tables, then share the plan when you're ready. Guests see their table on their pass, and the day's schedule on their invitation.
