Example dates to offer
- Friday before the birthday
- Saturday before the birthday
- Saturday after the birthday
Choosing the party date
- If the party is a surprise, leave the birthday person off the invite and be careful who the link is forwarded to.
- Check the guest of honor's must-have people first, then offer only dates that suit them.
- Keep the options close to the birthday itself. A party a month later can feel disconnected from the occasion.
- For children's parties, ask the parents to vote and check for school events on the same weekend.
How it works
- Add your event and the dates that could work.
- Email your group, or share one link by text or group chat.
- Everyone taps Yes, Maybe or No for each date, with no account.
- See the best date, choose it, and let everyone know.
Questions
Can guests see each other's votes?
Yes. Anyone with the poll link can see the names and votes, which helps people see who else is coming.
Will guests see my email address?
No. Your email is never shown on the poll.
What happens after I choose a date?
You can email everyone you invited, then use BringaList to sort out who brings what.
