New Year's Eve invitations worth staying up for

Three to four weeks before, early December at the latest. December 31 is the most competed-for night of the year, and many guests lock their plans before the holidays even begin, so for a big party five to six weeks is safer still. Then remind the undecided as the night nears.

Let the invitation do the counting. Each guest replies through their own private link, plus-ones included, and your dashboard totals attendance in real time, so champagne, glasses and countdown seats are bought for the crowd that's actually coming, not a guess.

Yes. Set a capacity to match the room and RSVPs close automatically once it fills. Guests who reply after that join a waitlist, and when someone drops out, as someone always does on New Year's Eve, the next in line is promoted automatically.

With guest messaging: write the update once (doors, parking, the countdown spot), and it's delivered privately to every guest, or only to those who said yes. Each message arrives individually, so there's no group thread buzzing through the party.

Yes. Every guest receives a private invitation of their own, and Guest Privacy (on every plan, free ones too) means no public list and no name search by default; it stays off unless you open the event yourself. Nobody scrolls through who else is invited, or who chose your party over another one.

Start free with up to 40 guests. Every invitation design, the Card Studio and RSVP tracking are included, with no ads or credit card required. Per-event plans are one-time purchases for a single event. Paid plans add guest capacity and planning tools, with different features and limits at each tier. Yearly passes cover unlimited events while your subscription is active. They renew annually; the guest limit and features of your pass apply to each event.
