Free, and free properly

Engagement party invitations,
with replies you can actually track

Make an invitation in about two minutes, send the link however you like, and watch the replies arrive. No guest limit, no adverts on your invitation, and nothing useful hidden behind a payment.

No card, no download, no app for your guests
What free usually means

Most of these tools charge for the part that matters

Sending an invitation is easy. Knowing who is coming, how many they are bringing and what they cannot eat is the bit that saves you an evening, and it is usually the bit you pay for.

The useful part

Your guest list does not stop at the party

The usual advice is that anyone invited to the engagement party should be invited to the wedding, so the list you build here is most of your wedding list already.

Addresses collected once

Guests can leave a postal address while they reply, so you are not chasing everyone again when the wedding invitations go out.

Households, not names

Replies keep couples and families together, which is how seating plans work later on.

It carries over

When you start planning the wedding with Kismet, the list comes with you rather than being retyped.

How it works

Two minutes, then you are done

01

Fill in the details

Your names, the date, and where it is. Everything else is optional.

02

Share your link

Send it by message, email or group chat. Your guests do not need an account or an app.

03

Watch the replies

Headcount, dietary requirements and messages, all in one place, exportable whenever you want.

Questions

The things people ask

Is it really free?

Yes. We build wedding planning software, and this exists so that couples meet us before they start planning. There is no paid tier on this tool and no upsell part way through.

Do my guests need an account?

No. They open the link, reply, and that is it. It works on a phone without downloading anything, which matters because that is where most people will open it.

When should I send engagement party invitations?

Four to six weeks ahead for a local gathering, six to eight if people are travelling. Earlier than that and it sits forgotten in a drawer.

Who should we invite?

The convention is that anyone invited to the engagement party gets a wedding invitation too, so it is worth deciding the wedding list roughly first. Plenty of couples keep the engagement party small for exactly that reason.

Can I stop taking replies?

Yes, you can close an invitation whenever you want and guests will see a note rather than the form.

What happens to the guest details?

They are yours. Only you can see the replies to your invitation, guests cannot see each other's, and we do not sell anything to anyone or pass details to suppliers.

Ready when you are

It takes about two minutes and costs nothing.
