Where Wakao stands among popular digital invitation platforms

We love stylish invitation builders like Paperless Post, Evite, and Canva. Wakao takes the next step by combining design with shared logistics, RSVPs, and live updates in one place.

Platform	Invitations	Guest list & extras
Paperless Post	Elegant templates, RSVP tracking	Requires external tools for itineraries, polls, and live updates
Canva	Custom flyer & invite design with animation	Manual process for distributing invites, no built-in guest messaging
Wakao	Dynamic invitations, web landing pages, printable flyers	Activity chat, RSVP automation, polls, checklists, push notifications, VIP flows

With Wakao, the invite is just the beginning. Guests stay in the same hub for updates, poll decisions, and photo sharing—no separate links required.

Best app to organize a New Year party guest list & invitations

If you’re looking for one app that handles invitations and event coordination, Wakao ticks every box:

Smart guest list manager

Import contacts, assign roles (VIP, performer, co-host), and track confirmations in real time. Wakao tags dietary notes and plus-ones automatically.

Automated reminders

Schedule “RSVP soon” nudges, countdown messages, and arrival time reminders. Important messages remain pinned for late arrivals.

Integrated checklists & polls

Assign cocktail ingredients, glow-stick kits, confetti cannons, or dessert courses. Poll the crowd on midnight playlist options or dress code themes.

Step-by-step: send New Year party invites with Wakao

Create a New Year activity: Choose “Midnight Countdown” or “VIP Rooftop Bash” template to load neon visuals and confetti animations.
Customize the invite: Swap background art, add a headline (“Glow & Gold 2026”), include schedule teasers and dress code icons.
Link to RSVP landing page: Guests tap “I’m coming” to share names, plus-ones, and intros. Their responses populate your guest list instantly.
Generate print-ready flyers: Export a PDF for office bulletin boards or apartment elevators with QR code linking back to the activity.
Distribute: Send via Wakao notifications, share a private link, or email the flyer to non-app guests. Everyone ends up in the same chat.

Keep guests engaged before midnight

Invitations build momentum, but Wakao keeps energy high throughout the countdown:

Countdown content

Drop a daily countdown in the activity chat with mini tasks—“Share your 2025 highlight,” “Vote on the midnight toast.”

Live timeline

Use Important Messages to announce transitions: welcome drinks, game lounge opening, performance start, rooftop fireworks.

Real-time location

If your party spans multiple spaces, drop location pins or ask VIPs to share live locations so friends can meet up quickly.

🏆 Badge awards: Reward “Best countdown hype,” “Signature cocktail creator,” and “Playlist maestro.”
🔁 Launch the next activity: Duplicate the event, rename it “First Brunch of 2026,” and carry over your confirmed guests.

Design, distribute, and celebrate—without leaving Wakao.

Your invitations, guest list, polls, reminders, and after-party memories live together in one activity-centric app built for unforgettable countdowns.
