Kids birthday parties, minus the parent chasing
Invites, RSVPs, allergies and the parent who replies the night before. Plynr keeps the whole party in one place, so you can focus on the cake and the candles.
Sound familiar?
Chasing parents for RSVPs
Invites go out through five different chats, and you’re still guessing numbers two days before.
Allergies and dietary needs
Someone mentions a nut allergy in a side message, and it gets lost before you order the food.
The same questions, again
What time does it finish? Is it drop-off? Can siblings come? You answer them over and over.
How to plan it in Plynr
1
Lock in the date
Pick the date yourself, or send a Poll to family if you need to find a weekend that works.
2
Send one Event Plyn
Add the time, location, theme, drop-off details and a question about allergies. Parents RSVP in seconds via the app or on the web.
3
Keep parents in the loop
Share updates in the Plyn, see who’s coming at a glance, and let reminders do the chasing.
4
Relive it afterwards
Once the party’s over, it becomes a Past Plyn. Parents can add their photos, and you can keep private notes of the funny moments.

Questions
When should you send kids birthday party invites?
2- 3 months before is ideal. It gives families time to plan, and it’s still close enough that nobody forgets.
How long should a kids birthday party be?
For little ones, about one and a half to two hours is plenty. Older kids can manage two to three hours, especially with an activity.
Should you invite the whole class?
Some families invite the whole class so nobody feels left out, while others keep it to close friends. Choose whatever suits your budget and venue.
How do you manage allergies at a kids party?
Ask about allergies and dietary needs when people RSVP, then plan the food around them. Labelling the food helps parents too.
