Some of the best party planning apps to create events
Planning a party sometimes looks easy if you are looking at some pre-party planner who has planned several parties earlier. But this is not true. Of course, a pro party planner looks easy and cool on the outside as he has gone through most of the complications and trouble that comes with planning great parties. But the planner could still be under great pressure to make the party perfect.
Although, if you want to plan a party, and you have not done this before, it is going to be a lot of hassle. Numerous things need to be considered while planning a party like how many and which guests you are going to invite, how you are going to invite them, what kind of food and drinks you will serve at your party, the decorations and games at the party to keep in amusing, and many more. Thus, there are so many plans and management that go into a party that it is not easy for rookies to manage all this perfectly.
Thankfully, now you can use an app to create events, as there are so many party planning apps available on the internet. We have done some very long and thorough research on the internet and found some of the best party planning apps to create. These apps will certainly take a lot of the burden off your shoulders.
Evite- An App to invite guests
If you want to invite your special guests in a special way, this is the app. We mean it does not matter how many guests you are inviting. What matters more than all the guests you are inviting are really going to come? It would be unfortunate if you’ll invite and make arrangements for 100 guests, but only 20 or 30 of them show up. In this case, a lot of your food, money, and effort will be wasted.
But we don’t think that your guests will ignore your party if you invite them using the Evite app. This app is available on Android as well as iOS platforms. And you can send very tempting personalized invitations to your guests through this app. You can design and make beautiful templates using the photos from your phone, and along with that, you can add the event name, the time, and the location of the event on the invitation.
Once you create a tempting invitation, you can send them to your selected guests through a text message or email. Also, it is very easy with this app to track the RSVPs of your invited guests. You can check if your invited guests have seen the invitation or not. You can also check if they have accepted or declined your invitation. There are some more interesting features in this app like you can send push notifications to the guests who haven’t responded to your invitation, and you can also create polls among your invited guests for fun food and party ideas. So if you are looking for an app to create events and invite guests in a fun way, you should keep this app in mind.
BigNight- An app for planning party meals
If you want to impress your guests with amazing meals at your party, this app can help you. This app is only available on the iOS platform, and you can easily download it for $4. You can consider BigNight as one of the best apps for planning meals for a party. And even if you are hosting a formal party, you can use the app to create a menu for the guests. You can name your menu to organize the meals or dishes in a formal way like the starters, appetizers, drinks, and main course.
There is also an in-app browser feature in the app, which you can use to find and import recipes from Pinterest or any other food website that you use. Then there is an option with which you can make a shopping list of all the ingredients you need to make the dishes and remove the items off the list as you buy them.
But one of the best features that we find in this app is that you can also see time and reminders for each of your cooking tasks, like you need to bake the cheesecake a day before the party, then you need to add the whipped cream just an hour before the party. So due to its features, we think that it is not particularly an app to create events, but more of an app that could help you make meals for the event.
Spotify- An app to find the best party music
There is no party without music. It is the most basic form of entertainment. And you’ll find all kinds of party music on the Spotify app. The good music at your party will help your guests to be in a good mood, plus it will also keep the spirit of the party up.
You can easily download the app from the iOS as well as the Android platform. There are more than 50 million global tracks, so we don’t think you will run out of music or won’t find your kind of music here. If you have a good internet connection, you can easily stream all kinds of music on this app. And according to the company, the app has more than 232 million users worldwide. So there is a great chance that all of your guests are on the app, which gives them the chance to play the music of their choice.
But if you want to be the DJ at your party, you can make your party playlist. Although, you have to care about the choice of your guests. So keep the music interests of your guests while making the party playlists. Or make sure that you are adding all the great party songs to the party lists. But if you want to save yourself from all this hustle, you find and play a fun party station on the app that contains the party hits from every decade.
There is a free version of the app, but it contains a lot of ads or commercial breaks. Hence if you want to use the app at your party, it will be better if you buy the premium version of the app, which is ad-free. The subscription for the paid version is $9.99 per month.
Heads Up- A party app for the event
Of course, the party is going to be fun if there is music at it. But won’t it be for fun if you have a variety of activities like playing some games? Use the Heads Up app to find some of the most fun and laughable games. You can download the app on both the android and iOS platforms. The best thing about the game is that it can be played with so many people that guests can be a part of it. Thus no one feels left out.
How is the game played? Well, playing this game is very easy. First, one of the players needs to select a category. After selecting the category, the player holds the phone or the screen on the forehead. Then the name of the thing appears on the screen based on the category, and the other player has to act out that thing so the player holding the phone can guess what it is. There are many different categories to choose from, like animals, movies, celebrities, characters, and many more. Thus if you are looking for fun social planning apps, this could be one of them.
Pinterest- An app for finding for the party
One of the most mind numbing parts of planning a party is the decorations. A lot of thinking and thought goes into decorating a party. And you can not use the usual decorations and plans if you want to make your party unique. But there is a platform where you can find all the designs globally, and that place is Pinterest. The app is available on Android as well as the iOS platforms, so there won’t be any issues in downloading them.
The app is helpful if you are planning your party from scratch. But if you already have a theme in your mind about the party, you can find thousands of designs regarding the same theme on the app.
And finding the ideas on the app is also very easy. Just enter whatever thing or ideas come to your mind in the search bar. So, for example, if you don’t want a lavish or rocking party but a simple party, enter simple party ideas in the search bar. You may also get the ideas or locations of the shops where you can buy a particular kind of decoration. So if you are looking for an app to create events, we mean the decoration part, then Pinterest can come in very handy.
Cocktail flow- If you want to be the bartender of your party
If you have bartending skills and you want to flaunt them in front of your guests at your party, Cocktail flow is the best app to use. The app is available both on the iOS and Android platforms, so there should be no issue downloading them. On the app, you will find the drink recipes with all the ingredients and details mentioned to make the drink.
And if you want to show your planning as well as bartending skills to your guests, you can make a cocktail menu for them. But make sure you are serving a variety of drinks, including wine, scotch, and beer, along with cocktails. The app also has the feature to customize the drinks by the liquor, such as light, medium, and strong, and drink types such as tropical, short, and creamy for your guests.
Karaoke- for a rocking karaoke party
Certainly, everyone loves music at parties, but after a few drinks down, people also love to sing songs as well. And Karaoke is the best app to do so. Although like many other apps listed in this blog, this app is also available on iOS and Android platforms. One of the best things about this app is that, just like Spotify, it has all kinds of old or new, rock, pop or country music. Thus, whatever your guest wants to sing, you’ll find it on this app.

And when you find the song you are looking for, just hit the sing button and just sync with the lyrics and music to sing the song. The app also gives you the playback option to find how you have sung the song. And don’t be scared to sing even if you think you are not a good singer. The app automatically uses sound effects to enhance the quality of your voice.
Pro Party Planner- a social planning app
If you want to make step by step plans for the big day, then you can use this app. Unfortunately, the app is only available on iOS platforms. So once you have made the list of guests you are going to invite to the party, you can use the app to make the task lists for the party. The app also has the reminder feature using which you can make sure that every task is done on its time.
The app also asks you for the budget of your party. And once you specify your budget, you can make the shopping list for your party. You can also use the budget feature to track how much you spend on food, decorations and other things for your party.
