Why we are doing this
Every pound raised tonight goes to the scholarship fund, which pays for books, rent and travel so that talent, not money, decides who finishes their degree.
Last spring this evening put fourteen students through their first year. This year we would like to make it twenty, and we would like you there when we do.

Questions
- Is there an auction?
- A short live one after dinner, and a silent one all evening. The lots go online a week before.
- Can I bring a guest?
- Your invitation says how many it covers. Tell us their name when you reply, for the seating plan.
- What about dietary needs?
- Every course has a vegetarian, vegan and gluten free option. Tell us anything else when you reply.
Giving
Cannot join us, or want to give a little more? Every donation goes straight to the fund.
Give to the fund ↗Thank you for standing with our students, some of you for many years now. It is going to be a wonderful night, and every seat at it changes somebody's year.

01How it works
You send the invitations. We track every reply.
Invitations go out from your own WhatsApp or iMessage, one tap each, so they arrive from you rather than from a platform, and guests reply where they already talk to you.
The steps4
- 01
Build your events
Reception, Dinner, After-party, or whatever yours are called. Each gets its own time, venue and dress code on the one invitation.
- 02
Add your guests
Type them in or paste your whole list, then tick who is invited to which event. A name is enough to start.
- 03
Send from your own WhatsApp
Add a guest's number and one tap opens WhatsApp, message written and addressed. You press send.
- 04
Watch replies land
A yes or no for each event, with headcounts and dietary notes, counted up as they come in.
Your side of it: three invitations lined up to send, and the reminders after. Take the names in any order, and your place is kept if you stop for the night.

02The look
Your invitation, as it lands in WhatsApp. Choose your theme.
03Why one RSVP is never enough
Some guests are only invited to the dinner. Patrons are invited to all of it.
Most tools track one RSVP for one event. A gala needs separate headcounts for the patrons' reception, the seated dinner, and the after-party, and your venue and caterer are waiting on each one. Add as many events as your evening needs.

05For planners
Every celebration you're running, under one login.
Manage multiple client events directly from your dashboard header. Invite the organising committee to collaborate on a single shared guest list, then export per-event headcounts for caterers and venues.
Numbers your vendors actually need
Not just “146 people said yes.” The Export button on your guest list gives you a spreadsheet: everyone with their answer to each event, each event’s headcount standing over its own column, and the dietary notes on a sheet of their own, ready to forward to whoever is cooking.
What the export gives you4
- Every event shows what's confirmed, and the most it could still become
- Dietary notes on their own sheet, with no phone numbers on it
- Guests say how many are coming, wherever you've allowed extra
- Filter to one event or one group and export just those
