Online invitations and RSVPs

What the app does

Gatherly replaces the paper invitation, the group-chat headcount and the shared spreadsheet. It is built for birthdays, baby showers, engagements, weddings, graduations, dinners, holiday parties and work events.

• Design the invitation

  Start from one of 61 designs and change the words, colours, fonts, photographs and artwork until it suits your event.

• Publish it as one link

  Share it on WhatsApp, by email or as a QR code. Guests open it in a browser: nothing to install, no account needed.

• Collect replies

  Guests say whether they are coming, choose a meal, note allergies and answer the questions you set.

• Keep a gift list

  Guests mark a gift as taken, without other guests seeing who chose what.

• Run the day

  See who has not replied, send reminders, hand out guest passes and check people in at the door.

• Your information stays yours

  We never sell personal information, show no advertising, and your guests never need an account to reply.

Why Gatherly asks to sign in with Google

You can design an invitation without an account. An account is needed only to save and publish one, and to see replies afterwards. You can sign in with an email address and password, or with Google.

Signing in with Google gives Gatherly three things and nothing else: your email address, your basic profile (name and profile picture) and your Google account identifier. They are used to create your account, to show you your own events and to write to you about them. Gatherly cannot see your Gmail, contacts, calendar or Drive, and never posts anything to your account. The privacy policy sets this out in full, including how the data is protected, how long it is kept and how to have it deleted.

What it costs, and who makes it

Gatherly is free to use. If paid plans are added, the price will be shown before anyone is asked to pay, and invitations already shared will keep working.

Gatherly is made and operated by Thimral, an independent software company in South Africa. It is a website, so there is nothing to download; it runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. For questions or support, write to contact@thimral.com.
