How do you send a New Year's Eve party invitation online?

Post the shared link in the group chat, where friends add their names, or text each friend a private link for a two-tap reply. Guests add plus-ones on the same reply. It's free, with no ads or guest accounts.

Everyone's waiting for a better offer

New Year's Eve invites go out late and get answered later. Friends hold out for the best plan, so you're guessing between eight guests and twenty-five until the week of.

Send each friend their own link, or post the shared link in the group chat, where anyone can add their name. Allow extra guests, and a plus-one comes with the reply.

Put the start time, the dress code, and whether kids are welcome in the details. Guests see them on the invite and can add the party to their calendar from the same page.

Where New Year's Eve RSVPs get messy

Everyone's a maybe until the 30th
Friends wait to see what else comes up, and you plan for a number that changes daily.
Plus-ones arrive unannounced
“Is it okay if I bring someone?” comes at 10pm on the 31st, or not at all.
Replies scatter across chats
One friend answers in the group chat, another by text, another in a reply to your story.
Not enough glasses at midnight
The champagne runs out right when everyone wants to toast.

Three steps from invite to headcount

It works the way your friends already talk: by text and group chat.

  1. Add your guests

    Add each friend or couple you're inviting, or skip the list and use the shared link. Set whether plus-ones are welcome.

  2. Share the link

    Text it or post it in the group chat. Guests read the details, then tap Yes, No, or Maybe and add a plus-one, with no account or app.

  3. Watch the count, nudge the maybes

    Your dashboard shows who's coming, who they're bringing, and who's still a maybe. Copy a nudge and send it yourself.

Made for the host of the countdown

Plus-ones counted, ready-to-send nudges, and co-hosts. No guest accounts.

Plus-ones counted
Allow extra guests, and a friend adds a partner or roommate on the same reply, so you know how many glasses to chill.
Late replies still land on one list
Every answer goes to your dashboard, even the ones that come in on the 31st.
Easy on your guests
Guests open the link in any phone browser and reply in two taps, with no account. There are no ads on the invite, free or Plus.

Ask what they're bringing

Add an optional question guests answer with their RSVP, such as what they'll bring or whether they need a couch for the night. For a potluck-style party, add a free sign-up list for snacks and drinks.

One RSVP question is free. Families can answer or skip it.

Example optional RSVP question and answer.

Bringing anything, or need a couch for the night?

Optional

A family's answer

We'll bring cava and a cheese board. Could we crash on the couch?

Questions

Common questions about New Year's Eve party invitations.

Are these New Year's Eve invitations free?

Yes. Hejmo is free for unlimited events, with RSVP tracking, private links, a shared link, sign-up lists, nudges, co-hosts, and one RSVP question. There are no ads on the invite. Plus is optional: $12 for one event adds your own cover photo or an illustrated cover, invitation styles, an animated preview that plays in iMessage, a custom link, a custom RSVP confirmation, and up to five RSVP questions.

When should you send New Year's Eve invitations?

Three to four weeks ahead, in early December, before friends commit to other plans. Set the RSVP deadline about a week before, so you can buy food and drinks for the real count.

What should a New Year's Eve invitation say?

The start time and whether it runs past midnight, the address with parking notes, the dress code, whether plus-ones and kids are welcome, whether to bring a drink, and an RSVP date.

How much champagne do I need for a midnight toast?

A 750 ml bottle pours about six glasses, so plan on one bottle for every six guests for the toast, and more if you're serving it all night.

Can I post one link in our group chat?

Yes. The event's shared link lets anyone who opens it add their name and reply. Send private links to anyone not in the chat.

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. The link opens in any phone or computer browser, and guests reply in two taps.

Run this event, then reuse the guest list for the next one

Free for unlimited events. Plus is $12 once per event, and guests see your photo on the invite.
