Hosting something private? Keep it that way.
Every household gets their own invite link. You know exactly who opened it, who responded, and who hasn't. If a link gets forwarded to the wrong person, regenerate it in one tap.
Private links are free · No guest accounts · No ads
One shared link, three problems
Most invite tools give you a single link to blast out. That works until it doesn't.
You can't tell who responded
When everyone uses the same link, responses are anonymous or loosely attached to whatever name the guest types. You end up cross-referencing replies with your mental guest list.
The link spreads
Someone forwards it to a group chat. A friend-of-a-friend RSVPs. Now you have names you don't recognize on your guest list and no clean way to remove them.
No revocation
If you need to uninvite someone or a link leaks, there's no way to cut off access without breaking the link for everyone else.
How per-household links work
Same idea as mailing a wedding invite to a specific family. Each household gets their own envelope. Except it's a link, and it takes two seconds.
Each household gets a unique link
When you add a family to your event, Hejmo generates a private tokenized link for that household. No two families share the same URL.
Responses are tied to families
When a guest opens their link and RSVPs, the response is automatically connected to their household. No name-matching guesswork.
Forwarding is contained
If a link gets shared with the wrong person, only that one household's link is compromised. Everyone else's link still works normally.
Regenerate in one tap
Tap "Generate new link" and the old URL stops working instantly. The household gets a fresh link. Previous responses stay intact.
Private vs. public: when to use each
Private links are the default. Public links are available when you need them. You can use both on the same event.
Private links
Best when you have a known guest list and want every response tied to a specific family.
- Kids' birthday parties
- Family reunions and holidays
- Dinner parties with specific couples
- School events with a class roster
- Any event where headcount accuracy matters
Public link
Best when you want broad reach and don't need to control exactly who responds.
- Community events and open houses
- Neighborhood block parties
- School-wide announcements
- Events shared on social media
- Gatherings where "plus ones" are welcome
Privacy controls at every level
Per-household links
Every family gets a unique tokenized URL. Responses are tied to the right household automatically.
Instant link regeneration
If a link gets forwarded, generate a new one in one tap. The old link stops working. Responses stay intact.
Guest list visibility controls
Attendee list is hidden by default. Turn it on for confirmed guests only, or keep it fully private. Your call.
Best for
- Hosts with a known guest list who want accountability
- Family and household invite workflows
- Events where RSVP accuracy matters more than open reach
- Privacy-conscious hosts (no ads, no public guest lists)
- Events with children where you need to know exactly who's attending
Not for
- Events optimized purely for maximum public reach
- Anonymous signups where you don't know the guests
- Ticketed marketplace events
