Digital Invitation for a Bachelorette Party with Allergies

It's nine on a Tuesday and the group chat has forty-one unread messages. Somewhere between the third sticker and a voice note about the Airbnb, someone typed that Marta doesn't eat gluten. Nobody is sure if that's true. The restaurant wants the set menu on Friday. This is the moment a digital invitation starts earning its keep: you pick a design from the catalogue, write the food question in your own words and send the link the same day.

Most bachelorette party planning problems are group chat problems. The allergy one is worse than most, because getting it wrong is the mistake the whole table remembers.

Bachelorette party allergies: ask in the invitation, not the group chat

In a thread with fourteen people, 'does anyone have allergies?' sinks under stickers in about three minutes. In the invitation, the question sits in its own place, with room for the answer. And 'I think Marta doesn't eat gluten' will not close a menu — whoever books the table needs to know whether to call the restaurant or change a dish.

• One person asks, once. The sister, the maid of honour, the friend holding the booking — not five crossed messages at two in the morning.
• One real deadline. 'Reply by the 12th so we can close the menu' turns a maybe into something the restaurant can actually use.
• A plain question. 'Is there anything you can't eat?' gets answered. 'Please state any dietary requirements' gets ignored.
• A name to answer to, for anyone who would rather say it privately than in the chat.

How to word it without sounding like a hospital form

Swap 'Do you suffer from any food allergies?' for 'Is there anything you can't eat? We'll tell the restaurant.' Same information, no clipboard. Then add one example that breaks the ice: 'So far there's one gluten-free, one vegetarian and one who hates coriander. Tell us where you fit.'

Put a date on it. 'Reply by the 12th so we can close the menu' turns a vague worry into a number you can hand over. And when you do close it, having a gluten-free, vegetarian and alcohol-free option for the toast ready saves you a second round of messages.

One question, asked once, in the place everyone opens anyway: that's how a menu gets closed.

A digital invitation: one link, always the current version

If the restaurant swaps the set menu, or a new allergy shows up ten days out, you edit the text and everyone opening the same link reads the updated version. No reprinting, no 'correction: ignore my last message'. Changing the time, the address or the dress code works the same way — the link stays the same, so nobody has to forward anything. The invitation is a web page with chained scenes (cover, dinner, last dance) and you can add up to six of your own photos, choose which one goes on the cover and replace any of them later.

Where the replies land

Confirmations arrive inside the invitation, in one ordered list. You see who's coming and what they wrote without scrolling through three conversations. The confirmation questions are yours to set in the editor, wording included, and guests answer from their phone by opening the link — nothing to install. If half your group lives abroad, the site runs in seven languages and the invitation content can be set per language.

Pick a design, write the food question the way you'd say it out loud, and try it before you pay: in trial mode you edit the cover for free and see how your wording looks. Buying is one payment of 29,99 EUR, no subscription, and it unlocks every scene, the music and the confirmation questions. Then the link does the rest, and you close the menu without chasing anyone.
