Event invitations for nonprofits, associations and schools

A fundraiser, an annual meeting, a members' evening, a school concert or an alumni event. An invitation people can open on any phone, replies with names, and a list you do not have to keep by hand.

A small team, a long guest list, and no events department

In a nonprofit or a school, the event is usually organized by someone who also has a full-time job. Invitations go out by mailing list, social media and word of mouth; replies come back in all three. The night before, somebody is still counting chairs.

How it usually goes

  • An email to the mailing list, plus a post, plus flyers
  • Replies by email, phone and in the comments
  • A volunteer keeps the list in a spreadsheet
  • Reminders go to everyone, or to nobody
  • The caterer and the venue get a rough number

With the invitation and registration

  • One link for the mailing list, social media and group chats
  • Every reply with names, in one list
  • A reminder to the people who have not answered
  • Diets and allergies collected with the reply
  • A spreadsheet for the caterer, the venue and the board

What you get

An invitation in your colors

Your logo or crest and your colors, so it looks like it came from you. Members and parents recognize it at a glance.

Works for every guest

No app and no account. Guests open the link on their phone or computer and reply in two taps, whatever their age.

A program for the evening

Welcome, the main program, the auction or the performance, refreshments. Each part has a time, so people know when to arrive.

One list for the whole committee

Everyone helping can see the same list. Export it as a spreadsheet for the caterer or for the board's records.

Invitation wording you can copy

Copy it and change the names, dates and places. When we build your invitation, you write the text or we put it together with you. More examples in the guide to corporate event invitation wording.

Common questions

Can we invite members, donors and parents with one invitation?

Yes. The link is the same for everyone and can go out by email, social media or group chat. Each guest replies with their name and the names of anyone coming with them.

Can guests donate or pay a ticket through the invitation?

No. There is no payment on the invitation. Use your usual donation or ticketing page and link to it from the invitation text; the invitation handles the replies and the list.

Can we invite our member list by email?

Yes. Upload the list from Excel and everyone on it gets an email in your colors with their own link, their name already filled in. You see who has opened it, and those who have not replied get a reminder.

What about guests who do not use smartphones?

The invitation opens in any browser, on a phone or a computer, with no app or account. For the few guests who are offline, a phone call or a printed note still works, and you can add their reply to the list by hand.

Do you offer a nonprofit discount?

The price is the same for every organization. If you run several events a year, ask for a quote for all of them together.

What does it cost?

$99 once per event for up to 150 registered people, with no subscription and no charge per attendee. Larger events, and agencies running several events a year, get a separate quote. The invoice is issued to your company or organization.
