The invite, the RSVPs and the bring list together.
Guests see the date, the place and what's still needed, answer Going, Maybe or Can't, and pick a dish. You see a headcount in people, plus-ones and kids included.
Questions
Is Evnts free for a big guest list?
Yes. There are no Coins and no per-guest price: 10 guests or 200, the invite, RSVPs, reminders and the guest list cost nothing, with no ads.
Can Evnts email my invitations?
Evnts gives you one link to share wherever your guests are: a text, the group chat, WhatsApp or an email you send yourself. It doesn't send invitation emails for you.
Can I bring my guest list over from Paperless Post?
Paperless Post lets you export your guest list as a CSV. On Evnts you share one link instead of adding guests one by one, so send it to the people on that list.
Do I need an invite to host?
Hosting is invite-only for now. You're in if a friend who hosts on Evnts sends you one of their invite links, or if you've RSVP'd to someone's Evnts invite, and a few open spots go to new hosts every day. If today's are taken, leave your email when you publish and we'll send you an invite. Guests never need one.
