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.

 The app also has categories and genres that will help you find songs. 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.   

The app also has the feature to send invitations and check the RSVPs for the guests coming to the party. But, you are not getting all these amazing features for free. Instead, you will be charged $4.99 when you’ll download the app, plus you have to pay a $0.99 monthly fee.

Leaf- The best app to create events

If you are looking for an all-rounder app to create events full of fun and life, then you must use this app. This app has all the features needed to be a social planning app. You can use the app to create events, plan rocking parties, invite guests, and even find the venues for the party. But unfortunately, the app is only available on the iOS platform for now. 

Also, the UI of the app is quite easy. You can easily navigate through different tabs. So, if you are planning to create an event, just open the app’s home page and click on the big plus (+) button. You’ll come across various options on selecting the plus button like ‘make plans’, ‘show me plans’, ‘bookmark a location. Then you’ll be shown several venue options in your location. After specifying the location, you have to select the date and time of the event, and lastly, invite the guests.

But Leaf is not just a social planning app. You can use the app to do various other activities such as finding and making new friends, lookup for local meetup groups in NYC, or planning group outings in NYC. And due to all these features, the Leaf app stands as the best scheduling app for friends.

How outings and meetups can help you in reboot yourself?

Life is uncertain. Things can mess up anytime as we don't know what the future holds for us. And maybe many of you might already be living messy lives. Or some of you might be looking for an escape and some free time from your too busy lives. Well, in our opinion everybody needs a break from their regular lives to see what's new in the world or enjoy nature or get aware of their surroundings a little bit, or to think what new things one could explore. And you can take the help of an app to create events to give yourself rest from your monotonous life. 

Unprecedented Reasons  

Taking a break from regular life and rebooting your mind and soul will also help you enjoy your regular life again. But what is the major reason for our boring lives? Every individual can have their own reasons for having a boring life if you have one. But what we observed is that the people have so much of their head in technology these days that they don't look around and observe their surroundings as much as people once used to do a lot.

Before the dominance of technology in our daily lives, people used to travel on long drives for no reason. People used to sit in parks to watch birds, dogs, and kids playing around. People used to do yoga to keep them calm. People used to visit lakes or sit along the banks of rivers and do fishing, and many such activities. But since technology has surprisingly grown and dominated our lives, people don't get out of their homes that often, not even on weekends. Now people play all the outdoor games like football or basketball on their phones or computers or PlayStations only. There are also apps to create events and to socialize with people in real world, but people hardly use them. If people want to see birds, fishes, dogs, or kids playing, they open YouTube and search for the content they want to see. However, all of this adds and develops bad habits in our lives.

We are developing laziness, diabetes, obesity, and other health complications due to our lesser outdoor and physical activities. However, thanks to the same technology, many apps on the internet push us to plan outings in NYC with our friends. Thus, you can download an app to create events that your friends can join and enjoy in real life. Such apps will help you to take a break and refine yourself.

So let's see why it is vital to take a break from your monotonous life and relax a little bit:

Breaks can enhance your creativity and productivity

Some of you might agree with us, or some might not, but excess use of technology can create a lot of distractions. The reason behind this is, every time people see a notification popping up on their device, and they feel something secretive in that. Thus, they lose control over their minds and get distracted from their usual jobs. Such frequent notifications from your phones and computers also affect the productivity of an individual.

According to many famous findings and reports, an average American usually checks his phone at least a hundred times a day. And whenever someone gets distracted by such notifications from their digital devices, it takes a longer time for them to recover and bring back their attention to the things they were doing. Many findings have also found that the distractions from digital media sources also affect an individual's working memory. And in case you don't already know, the working memory of an individual absorbs and retains more memory than the long-term memory.

Breaks are also necessary as continuous work and stress for a long time can harm us, just like the continuous strain on a bridge can harm the bridge. Some researchers have also found that individuals who work for more than 50 hours a week experienced decreased productivity. Thus, being away from technology can help you a lot. It can help you with your academic, professional, and personal goals as you will waste less time on useless things. But if you are using an app to create events and outdoor activities with you friends, we don’t consider that a waste of time because then you are using the technology to plan some outdoor activity for yourself.

To get a less stressed and healthy body and life

If you think that taking time away from your devices and technology will only relax your brain, then you are wrong. On the contrary, a proper break from technology will also relax your body and overall life as well. However, researchers have also found that overuse of technology could cause us mental, emotional, and psychological traumas. Although, there is no direct proof but researchers have also claimed that more than usual tech dependence can cause depression, anxiety, and social isolation in individuals.

As we said earlier, our brain is not the only part of our body that enjoys a break from technology. There are many other organs of our body, like hands, eyes, fingers, etc., that need to rest time to time from staring and sliding on a screen. You may not know, but you certainly feel that how much the screen time, screen brightness, and screen glaring leaves a damaging effect on your eyes. Such things can eventually cause you weak eyesight, uncomfortable dry eyes, and blurred vision. The way you use your devices such as your computer and mobile phones also affects the posture of your body as well. And such bad postures could lead you to many issues such as musculoskeletal issues in your later life. Thus, not just the long breaks in a while, you also need short, frequent breaks from your digital devices and technology every day. If you consider our advice, we suggest you take a break for at least ten minutes after every one hour, especially when you are working and have to stare at your screen for a long time. Otherwise, we don't want you to stare at your screen for one hour continuously.

More than appropriate use of technology can also cause other significant issues that could disturb your daily life. These issues could be sleeplessness and minimal physical activity, further leading to obesity. In addition, the blue light that most of the screens of the digital devices depict is also harmful at some point, and it can disturb the natural circadian rhythm of your body. This particular issue could cause you problems while sleeping, and it could also cause some significant issues while waking up in the morning.

If you are too involved in interacting with your devices only, it can cause a sedentary lifestyle. And such a lifestyle can cause severe health issues in a person's later life, like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, you can use an app to create events and other outing plans with your friends. So that, much use of technology will not harm you at all.

What things you can plan this month

This is the month of December, which is further a month full of festivals. Hence, it does not matter how busy you are. You cannot waste this month sitting at your home. This is the perfect month to take time away from your busy working life and go on a vacation or at least explore your city. If you want to celebrate the events with your friend, you can use any online friends and event planning app to create events and invite your friends. So let's see what activities you can do this month to keep yourself away from your boring life: 

The perfect celebration for everyone

Christmas and Hanukkah both fall in December, but what about the seculars or atheists? Well, if you don't have any affection for any religion, we got the perfect occasion for you to celebrate, the winter solstice party. And actually, the winter solstice is an event for everyone as it is the shortest day of the Year. And although this event is celebrated all over the US, there are some places where this event is especially celebrated. For example, secular Hub in Denver is planning a big winter solstice party this year. And more than 2100 individuals are part of this group who might join the event. In addition, the Boulder Atheists are organizing another big meetup group on this winter solstice.

The Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix (HSGP) in Arizona also organizing its 23rd annual solstice party. There are around 3600 individuals that are joined with this group as members.

If you live in Miami or a nearby area, you could celebrate the winter solstice day with FLASH, which stands for Florida Atheist and Secular Humanists. This group has organized an oceanfront Solstice celebration this year in which they will play several beach games along with a barbeque.

Though, there are many other places where you can enjoy a fun and crazy winter solstice, like the Sierra Club Huron Valley Group in Ann Arbor. This group of more than 1700 members is planning a Winter Solstice cross-country ski outing this year. You can also use any social planning app to create your own events and find more events like these in your area.   

The Christmas Eve and Christmas

Well, Christmas is a festival for everyone. And during Christmas, you should spend time with your family like going out with them for a vacation or just out in the city for some shopping or local celebrations. However, if you are not with your family this Christmas, there are still many communities and groups with which you can enjoy a holly, jolly Christmas. Like there is a group called LA Entertainment Connections. This group has more than 5800 members or Angelinos associated with it, and they are going to organize a Christmas hangout at the state social House pup in West Hollywood this year.

And if you are in New York, this New Year, there is a lot of New Year celebrations all over the city in which you can participate. There are apps to create events and join such events, which you can use to find these events. Some of the best Christmas celebrations of New York City happen to be at the Rockefeller Center and Central Park. But in Central Park particularly, you can celebrate Christmas by singing carols around the park. However, if you are in Philadelphia, you can enjoy Christmas with the Delaware Valley Free Walkers, which will meet at the Love Park this Christmas. They have planned an urban trek through local Christmas sightings. The Christmas Sightings you will probably see with them this year are the Franklin Square Light Show, the Dickens Christmas Village, the Dilworth German Christmas Market, and maybe the River Rink Winter fest.

The New Year’s Eve

So at the end of December, there will be New Year. And we all know that America celebrates one of the best New Year's Eve in the world. However, one of the best New Year's Eve you will find in America will be at Times Square. The celebrations of Times Square are one of the best New Year celebrations of the year.

How you can know more about such events

Although at the start of this blog, we warned you about all the harms of excessively using technology, there are some benefits of technology as well. Like it helps you make more friends, it tells you about the new places and new events happening around you. Thankfully there are such apps now that you can make new friends and go on outings. You can also use such an app to create an event with your friends and invite more people to that event. So let's see what great apps you can use to plan outings, events and meet up with your friends.

Facebook

We all know how people commonly use Facebook. It is used all over the world. This app has the maximum number of users all over the world. So you can effectively use this app to find your old friends and distant friends, make new friends, and plan new events with your friends. It is a great app to create events and join them as well. To plan an event here, first, you have to select the date, time, and venue of your event, and lastly, you 0have to send requests to the people you want to invite to your event.

Meetup

Another great app for making new friends and planning new events with your friends is Meetup. This app is quite famous among youngsters. The concept of the app is quite similar to the Facebook app. You have to specify the Event, timing, and date of your event and then send requests to the friends that you want to invite to your event.
