Every family has the person who hosts. Our founder's mum was that person — and she was worn out from chasing everyone for a simple yes or no. So her daughter built the thing that would chase them for her. That's RSVPplease.
She watched her mum plan birthdays, dinners and the big family holidays the same way every time — a paper list, three group chats, and a running guess at how many people were actually coming.
She was already teaching herself to code at school. One weekend she sketched a simple idea: a digital invite that texts your guests for you and keeps the count on its own.
Her mum was the very first user. For the first time, she knew her real headcount before the shopping trip — not after the party.
"I didn't set out to start a company. I just wanted my mum to stop stressing about who was coming. Turns out a lot of people's mums needed the same thing."
The founder · still in school
RSVPplease is still run by its founder — building between classes, homework and the occasional family party. The exact kind of party RSVPplease was made for.
Free to start. No card, no catch — just a full table.
