Tips, guides, and comparisons to help you plan better events — from RSVP etiquette to choosing the right invitation platform.
July brought a handful of updates we think you’ll actually use: reminders that reach more than one guest group at once, cancelling your own subscription without emailing us, and a much clearer view of who actually got your messages.

A picnic party is one of the lowest-cost, highest-reward ways to host this summer. No venue rental, no catering bill, no cleanup beyond folding a blanket. Just food, friends, and open air. I’ve hosted dozens of outdoor gatherings, and the picnic format is consistently a guest favorite. There’s something about eating outside on the ground […]
Planning a backyard BBQ is supposed to be fun. But somehow it always comes with a few surprise headaches: not enough food, no idea who’s coming, and a propane tank that runs dry right as the burgers hit the grill. I’ve hosted backyard BBQs for years — from a 10-person dinner in my apartment courtyard […]
