The Party Planner App Your Guests Will Actually Use

Why Most Party Planning Apps Let You Down
The problem isn't you — it's the app expecting everyone to jump through hoops
😤 The Typical Party App Experience
- Guests need to download an app just to say "yes"
- Half your guests give up before the RSVP page even loads
- Free plans hide the useful features behind a paywall
- Group chats turn into chaos — "wait, what time again?"
- You end up manually counting replies at 11pm
- No reminders, so half the guest list never replies

Plan Your Party in 3 Simple Steps
From blank page to guest list full — in under 60 seconds
Create Your Invite
Add your party name, date, time, location and photo. Set an optional capacity limit and RSVP deadline. Everything a guest needs to say yes is right there.
Share Your Link
Copy your event link and share it via WhatsApp, iMessage, email, Instagram DMs — or generate a QR code for printed invites. One link works everywhere, no app required.
Track RSVPs in Real Time
Watch your guest list fill up live. Your dashboard shows confirmed, declined and pending in one glance. Automatic reminders chase anyone who hasn't replied yet.
Everything a Party Planner App Should Do
No fuss, no bloat — just the features that actually matter when you're organising a party
Instant Setup
Create a complete party invite in under 60 seconds. No templates to fuss over, no design skills required — just fill in the details and share.
Guest RSVP Without Signup
Guests tap your link and confirm with their name. No account, no password, no app store. Lower friction = more replies = better headcount accuracy.
Automatic Reminders
Set your RSVP deadline and Who's In automatically emails guests who haven't responded yet. You focus on the party, not the chasing.
Capacity & Waitlist
Set a guest limit and Who's In closes RSVPs automatically when you're full. Latecomers join a waitlist and are promoted if someone drops out.
Collect Payments Too
Running a paid event? Charge a contribution or ticket price through Who's In. Fees start at 2.7% — far less than alternatives.
Share Anywhere
WhatsApp, iMessage, email, Instagram — one link works on every platform. Also generates a QR code for physical invites and printed posters.
What Party Hosts Are Saying
"Organised my husband's 40th for 60 people. Used to do everything on WhatsApp and it was a nightmare. This time I had a confirmed headcount 3 weeks out. Genuinely life-changing."

Birthday Host, Edinburgh
"I throw a house party every few months and Who's In has completely replaced the group chat chaos. People actually RSVP now because it takes 10 seconds. Free too — can't beat it."
Jake M.
Regular Host, Bristol
"Planned a dinner party for 20 people with dietary restrictions. The fact guests could RSVP without signing up meant everyone actually did it. Smooth from start to finish."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using Who's In as your party planner app
Is Who's In really free as a party planner app?▼
Yes — all features are completely free forever with no credit card required. Create your event, share the link, track RSVPs, set a capacity limit, send automatic reminders, and access analytics all at zero cost. The only fee is 2.7% on paid ticket sales — free events cost nothing.
Do my guests need to download an app to RSVP?▼
No, and this is the biggest advantage Who's In has over most party apps. Your guests tap a link on any phone or computer and RSVP with just their name — no app store, no account creation, no passwords. Fewer steps means more replies.
Can I collect money for a party with Who's In?▼
Yes. With a paid event you can collect a ticket price or contribution directly through Who's In. Payments are processed securely. Fees are 3.9% for events on the free plan or 2.7% on Pro — far lower than Eventbrite's standard rate.
How many guests can I invite to a party?▼
There is no hard limit on invites. You can set a capacity limit so Who's In automatically closes RSVPs when you reach your maximum — perfect for house parties, venues with fire limits, or any situation where headcount matters.
Can I send reminders to guests who haven't replied yet?▼
Absolutely. Set an RSVP deadline and Who's In sends automatic email reminders to guests who haven't responded. You stay out of the awkward follow-up business entirely — the system handles it in the background.
Does Who's In work for recurring parties — like a monthly dinner?▼
Yes. You can create a new event for each occurrence and share an updated link each time. Your guest list history is saved so you can quickly re-invite the same crowd. Many community organisers use Who's In for weekly and monthly recurring events.
