For whoever volunteered to plan the party
Forty messages all mean yes in different words. One page turns them into one list: replies counted, plus-ones noted, and meal choices for the caterer arriving with each name.
Send a graduation party invite into a large family WhatsApp group and the replies come in every form except a form. A thumbs-up from one uncle. A voice note from a cousin. A question about whether plus-ones are welcome, aimed at nobody in particular, answered by everybody. By Friday you have a scrollback and still no idea how many chicken trays to order.
A page gives those forty well-wishes somewhere to land. Guests open the invitation, press reply, and their answer — name, headcount, meal notes — appears on your list. The group chat stays a celebration; the list stays a number you can act on.
A graduation party is the rare event where the headcount is also a budget. The page collects exactly what the kitchen asks for:
Time and address with directions on the page, including the note about the side entrance the caterer will use.
Dress code stated once. Garden parties have their own advice about heels and grass, and it fits in one line.
Song requests from the page mean the graduate's friends queue their own anthems instead of messaging you at midnight.
Gift collection records sender and message, so a card from the grandparents is thanked properly even if it arrives in a pile.
The ceremony is done, the party is ours. Everything is on this page — tap reply there rather than here, and pick your meal while you are at it.
Graduation party is still on for Saturday. If your plans changed either way, the page reply takes ten seconds and saves us two trays.
This occasion is one of the dedicated types on the platform, with a template library dozens of designs deep, so the invitation opens looking like a graduation. For a party, the useful difference is trust: a page that looks made for the occasion gets replied to on the page, where a plain text wall gets half-answered in chat.
How it works
In the web app, in-app AI drafting takes plain details — date, hall, meal plan options — and writes the first version of the graduation page, so you edit a draft rather than face a blank section.
Set the choices guests pick between and open the allergy field. This is the step the caterer cares about, so it is worth doing before the link goes out.
The link goes to family, the graduate's friends, and the neighbours who taught her maths. Everyone lands on the identical page.
The list shows exactly who has not answered, and reminders go to them by WhatsApp or email. Finalise the food order against real names.
Questions
It happens, and the list is not wrong for it — it counts page replies. Most hosts answer the voice note with the link and a line asking for the ten-second version there. Whoever still never replies is caught by the reminders, which is the gap that actually matters for the trays.
The list shows each guest with their meal choice and any allergy note attached, in one view you can read at a glance. Most hosts pass that on as it stands; it is clearer than any tally typed from a chat.
Start free and build the invitation as the list grows; upgrades cover larger gatherings, and the pricing page sets out how rather than leaving you to guess from a message count.
There is nothing to install and no account needed — the invitation opens as a web page and the reply is name, attendance and maybe a meal choice. If typing genuinely fails someone, their child can answer for them on the same page.
Get Started
Start free, build the graduation page around the party you are actually throwing, and count replies instead of reading them. Upgrades for bigger lists wait on the pricing page.
