Why guests go quiet and what works: a one-tap reply, a real deadline with a reason, gentle reminders, and personal nudges for the few who have not replied.

For birthdays
Birthday invites worth saying yes to.
Make the invitation, share one link, and let the replies land in one place. No more counting thumbs-up in a group chat the night before.
Free to host. No guest accounts.
You’re invited to
Make a night of it.
Another year. Every reason to celebrate.
What you get, in plain terms.
A reply in seconds
Guests answer yes, maybe or no, say how many are coming and add a note. They can change their answer later from their own edit link.
Dietary needs, collected
Ask about allergies and requirements up front, and see a headcount by need before you order food.
A limit and a waitlist
Set how many spots there are. When they fill, new replies join a waitlist and move up automatically if a spot opens.
Find a date together
Not sure when? Offer a few dates in a poll, let guests vote, then lock one in.
Potluck and a playlist
Let guests claim what to bring and add songs to a shared request list.
Photos afterwards
Open a shared album so guests can add their pictures, with you in control of what shows.
Create, share, track.
Create
Pick the Confetti suite or another theme, add the date and place, and write the sort of note you would send a friend.
Share
Paste the link into your group chat or email it from JoinMe. Guests need no account.
Track
Open your manage page for a live list of who is in, who is bringing whom, and what they cannot eat.
Good questions.
Anything else? Write to us.
Do guests need an account to RSVP?
No. Guests open the invite link and reply with no account and no app. Only the host needs a free JoinMe account to create the invite.
Can I run a surprise party?
Yes. Turn on Surprise party when you create a birthday invite. The invite tells guests it is a surprise, link previews leave out the title, your note and the cover, the event is never listed publicly, and no follow-up email goes out afterwards. Add an invite code if the details should stay hidden from anyone without it.
What if more people say yes than I have room for?
Set a guest limit. Replies beyond it join a waitlist, and guests move up automatically if someone drops out.
Can guests bring a plus-one or their children?
Yes. You set one limit for everyone, from none up, and guests add the party size and names when they reply. Say so in the details if the party is adults only.
Does it cost anything?
No. JoinMe is free for hosts and guests, with no paid tier. It does not sell tickets or take payments.
