Dinner party invites

Supper’s on. Save me a seat.

A proper invite for a table at home. Guests reply in one tap, leave you a note if they like, and you know exactly how many places to lay.

Asks the right questions.

A few friends round is easy. Knowing how many before the shop is easier.

A name and one tap

Coming or can’t make it. No app, no account, no long form.

A note, just for you

Guests can leave a note only Ana sees. Other guests see a count, never who.

A nudge for the stragglers

One tap writes a friendly reminder for everyone still to reply.

Pull up a chair.

A long table set big, two tall candles with your name lit between them, or spaghetti twirled on a fork over gingham. Change the menu and the details; the replies come built in.

An invite that never hits the bin.

  • No paper.No cards, no envelopes, no reprint when the time changes.
  • No postage.No stamps, no trip to the post box, no lost-in-the-post.
  • No printing.Nothing to print at home, no ink, no wasted test sheets.
  • No waste.Nothing left over for the recycling afterwards.

Sending a link still uses a little electricity, like any message, so we won’t call it carbon-free.

Three steps, then you’re done.

  1. Talk it through

    Say who it’s for, when and where, or type it. The invite fills in as you go.

  2. Share one link

    Send it to the family chat, the work group, or by text or email.

  3. Watch the list fill up

    Who’s coming, who can’t, and any notes for you, in one place.

Good questions

What hosts ask before the link goes out.

Can guests leave me a note?

Yes. Every reply has room for a note, like what they’re bringing, and only you see it.

Isn’t an invite a bit much for dinner?

It takes a minute to make, and it saves the back and forth about who’s coming.

Who sees the replies?

Only you see names and notes. Guests see how many are coming, never who.

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. They open the link, type their name and tap Coming or Can’t make it.

Is it free?

Yes. Sending the invite and collecting replies is free.

Lay the table.

Know who’s coming before you do the shop.
