Gathr
Event Planning Made Easy
Open Gathr and sign in with Apple, Google or your email address. New to Gathr? A short setup then asks what you're celebrating and builds your first event.
Tap the gear at the top left for Settings, then Delete Account. It deletes your account and every event you own, and removes you from events you co-host. This can't be undone.
Yes. Your events are saved to your account. Sign in with the same account on any iPhone or iPad and they're there.
Tap + New at the top right. Pick what you're celebrating, add the names, the date, the place and a budget, and choose a look. You can keep it as a draft until you're ready to share it.
On your event's Home, tap the palette button on the invitation card and pick one of 12 looks. Every screen, button and the tab bar take on those colours, and your guests see the same look when they RSVP.
The parts of a wedding or event — mehendi, sangeet, ceremony, reception, or a dinner and an after-party. Each has its own time, place, dress code, guest list and replies. Weddings call them functions; other events call them parts.
The Tasks tab starts you with a checklist made for your kind of event, with due dates counted back from the day. Add your own tasks, tick them off, and your co-hosts see the same list.
On Home, scroll to Manage, tap Invite a co-host and share the link with your partner, family or planner. When they open it in Gathr and tap Join as co-host, you both see and edit the same event. Only you can delete it, and you can remove a co-host any time. The link works once and lasts seven days.
Yes. Press and hold the tab bar, or go to Settings › Make it yours › Bottom tabs. The bar holds up to six tabs (five is easiest): Home is always first and Finance last, with up to four of Guests, Schedule (Functions for a wedding), Tasks, Updates and Photos in between. Anything you leave out stays one tap away on Home.
In Guests, tap Add guests. Type names, pick people from your contacts, or paste a whole list — Gathr flags anyone already on it.
On Home, tap Invite. Choose who, then how: the best way for each guest, WhatsApp, text message, email or copied links. Pick a tone for the message — Warm, Fun, Formal or Traditional — and add a personal note. Gathr opens your own Messages, Mail or WhatsApp; you tap send. Texts and emails also carry your invitation card.
Yes. On Home, tap the share button on the invitation card to share it as a picture — in the family group, on your story or anywhere — or share just the link.
No. Each guest gets a personal link. They open it in any browser and tap Going, Maybe or Can't go, with plus-ones and a note. Their answer lands in your guest list.
Yes. Guests reply on one screen (Going, Maybe or Can't go, plus who they're bringing and a note), and can answer every function in one sheet or tap “Going to all”.
If you set a guest limit, Gathr counts everyone coming, plus-ones included. Once it's full, new yeses join a waitlist, and you can move someone up to Going in one tap.
Set a budget, then add what things cost. Gathr shows what's left, what each guest costs, what's due next and who owes whom. Tap an expense to change it, or Mark as paid to settle it in one tap.
No. Gathr never takes, moves or processes money. Finance is a record you keep; people pay each other however they like, and you mark it paid back in Gathr.
Free admission passes with a QR code. You can check guests in at the door with your camera. Nothing is sold.
Only you and your co-hosts. Guests see the event details on their invitation, never other guests' phone numbers or email addresses. Events are invitation-only.
Only when you use a feature: Calendar when you tap Add to Calendar, Camera when you check guests in, Photos when you choose a cover or save a ticket, and Notifications for reminders. Adding guests from contacts uses the iOS picker, which shares only the people you tap.
Tap the ••• on the post and choose Report post, or Hide posts from that person.
In Settings, under Your data, tap Export my data. You can also share any guest list as text from the Guests tab.
Changes appear when you open the event, pull to refresh, or come back to the app. Make sure you're both on the latest version of Gathr.
Check that the guest has a phone number or email, and that Messages, Mail or WhatsApp is set up on your phone. You can always copy the links and paste them anywhere.
Make sure you have the latest version and a connection, then close and reopen the app. Still stuck? Email us and we'll help.
