PlanMe keeps a party's guest list, RSVPs, menu, seating and to-do list in one plan you can share with co-hosts. Guests RSVP from a private link without an account, answer your meal questions, and can reserve a gift from your [registry](https://www.planme.club/features/gift-registry). If the celebration runs over a weekend, give each part its own RSVP and headcount. Free during beta.

The problem

## Where planning usually breaks

- RSVPs spread across group chats
  Half the replies come by text, a few by email, and nobody knows how many plus-ones are coming.
- Menus and allergies found out late
  You order food for a number, then learn about the vegan cousin and the nut allergy at the door.
- Duplicate gifts at the shower
  Three guests bring the same stroller because the registry lives in someone's head.
- Co-hosts working from different lists
  The shower is thrown by friends and family together, and each one has a different version of the plan.

How PlanMe helps

## What party hosts use in PlanMe

- Guest list with plus-ones
  Group guests into households, add plus-ones and companions with an approval step, and tag guests by circle such as Family or Work.

- Meal and dietary questions
  Ask custom questions with the RSVP, or share a Dietary Preferences form and read every answer in one table.
  [Guest forms](https://www.planme.club/features/guest-forms)
- A gift registry guests can reserve from
  List gifts with a photo and store link. Guests reserve one with their email, buy it wherever they like and mark it bought.

- A menu with dietary tags
  Plan the menu by course and tag each dish veg, non-veg, vegan, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

- Seating when it's a sit-down party
  Lay out round or rectangular tables, add the dance floor and bar, and seat guests from your list.

In practice

## Example: a 40th birthday weekend

A host plans a 40th as three parts: a small Friday dinner, the main party on Saturday and a Sunday brunch for out-of-town friends. Each part is a festivity in PlanMe with its own guest list and RSVP, so 20 people see the dinner, 75 see the party and only the travellers see the brunch.

Guests answer a meal question with their RSVP, the menu marks which dishes are vegan, and a co-host gets access to the guest list and checklist. Two days before the RSVP date, the host texts the guests who haven't answered.

Questions

## Common questions

See every module on the [features page](https://www.planme.club/features).

### Can I use PlanMe for a birthday or baby shower?

Yes. Choose Party when you create the event. You get the same guest list, RSVPs, menus, seating, registry and checklist that multi-day weddings use, and you can skip anything you don't need.

### Do guests need to install an app to RSVP?

No. Guests RSVP from a private link sent by email or SMS, or from your event website, without logging in.

### Can I add a gift registry for a baby shower?

Yes. Add gifts with a photo, store link and how many you need. Guests reserve a gift with their email, buy it wherever they like and mark it bought, and you see who it's from.

### Can friends co-host the party with me?

Yes. Invite co-hosts by email and choose what each one can use, such as the guest list and checklist but not the budget.

### Is PlanMe free for parties?

Yes. PlanMe is free during beta, with no credit card needed.
