- 1 week before RSVP deadline: you have numbers for drinks and the venue.
- 3 days before Nudge non-repliers privately with the same link.
- On the night The photo album opens 2 hours before: share its link so everyone drops their photos in.
Questions to ask your guests
- How are you getting home? A multiple-choice question (driving, public transport, staying over) to plan safe journeys.
- Bringing someone? Cap plus-ones at one per guest, or zero if the venue is small.
- One song for the playlist? Easy, and it makes people want to reply.
Frequently asked questions
How do I stop the invite spreading to the whole school?
Turn off the open link: only guests on your list, with their personal link, can reply. Hide the guest list too if you don't want it shared around.
Do my friends need an app?
No. The link opens in the browser and replying takes one tap, with no account.
What about the party photos?
Turn on the shared photo album: everyone uploads from their phone, everyone downloads, and it's all erased three days later. Two reports are enough to hide an embarrassing photo.
Is it free?
Yes, for up to 10 guests. For a real party, Invitotte+ is €9.90 once, up to 150 guests, without the Invitotte badge. For more ideas, see birthday invitation wording.
