Big Events
Celebrate the engagement, skip the stress
Two families, two friendship groups and one date that works for everyone. Plynr keeps the whole engagement party in one place, from the first invite to the photos afterwards.
Sound familiar?
Two families, one date
Coordinating both sides of the family, plus friends, makes finding a date a project of its own.
A guest list that keeps growing
Partners, plus-ones and the cousins you forgot. Keeping track of numbers gets messy fast.
Everyone asks the same questions
What time, where, what to wear and is it a gift thing? The same messages, over and over.
How to plan it in Plynr
1
Find a date that works
Send a Poll with a few options to the key people. Everyone votes, and the winner updates your Plyn.
2
Send one Event Plyn
Add the time, venue, dress code, gift details and a playlist. Guests RSVP in seconds via the app or on the web.
3
Keep everyone in the loop
Share updates in one place, set up a subgroup for the speeches or surprises, and let reminders do the chasing.
4
Relive it afterwards
Once the party’s over, it becomes a Past Plyn. Everyone adds their photos, and you can keep private notes of the speeches you want to remember.

Questions
When should you have an engagement party?
Usually within a few months of getting engaged, while the excitement is fresh and before wedding planning takes over.
Who traditionally hosts the engagement party?
Traditionally the bride’s parents, but these days it’s often the couple, both families or close friends. Whatever suits you.
Do you bring a gift to an engagement party?
It’s not expected, but many guests bring a card or a small gift. If the couple has a preference, add it to the invite.
Should everyone at the engagement party be invited to the wedding?
Generally yes. It can feel awkward to celebrate the engagement with someone who isn’t invited to the wedding, so keep the list to people you’d invite to both.
