Availability Poll

To help you decide what the best date to hold your event is, you can use Preparty's Availability Poll. It allows you to select up to four dates and then ask your guests which ones they can and can't make. At the end of the process you will have statistics on which guests can attend on each date and which date is the most popular.


Bar Mitzvah & Bat Mitzvah

On the day a boy takes his momentous steps towards the Torah (Hebrew Bible) for the first time at age 13, he experiences the defining moment when he assumes responsibility for prayer and good deeds as a Jewish man. The event is generally celebrated with a large gathering of family and friends in a Synagogue such as The Central Synagogue or Reception Hall like The Royal Motor Yacht Club


Birthday Party

Birthday parties take many forms from sophisticated 50th parties, trendy 21st birthdays right down to recreational kids birthday parties. Whatever stage you are at, you will need a relevant party venue. For example a 60th birthday party may be a grand landmark occasion and you may wish to exclusively hire out a restaurant such as The Lincoln. If you prefer something small, intimate and a bit more relaxed, you could book a table at Barzura Cafe and Ristorante. For a 21st you probably want something a bit more hip, check out a like The Velvet Lounge. For kids nothing entertains like a recreational activity, look for placing that offer something fun like The Sydney Indoor Rock Climbing Gym or the Plaster Master Fun Centre.


Budget Party Planning

We understand that planning a party can be time consuming. Finding the right event-related services for the right budget is a challenging task. To make your job easy and take the headache out of being a party planner or corporate event planner Preparty helps event organizers to quickly search through suppliers who are categorised by type, pricing, location and ratings from other event planners.


Corporate Event

Corporate event management follows a similar process to organising a private party. The main differences are that greater care and organisation are required due to the larger numbers and expectations of commercial guests. Event co-ordination and project management needs to be managed meticulously and proceed efficiently from the initial concept until post event follow up. Preparty features such as Automated RSVP collection and mobile text reminders help make the process of organising a corporate event easier.


Corporate Entertainment

Planning a corporate event may require a DJ like Mike Murray who can play the latest dance music, whereas private events like engagement parties may require someone like DJ Mash that can take song requests from your guests. Finding what you need, whether it is a corporate casino night or a jumping castle for your guest's kids, is just as important as choosing the most suitable venue and caterer.


Email Invitation (Electronic Party Invitations) & Automated RSVP

Use Preparty's template engine to quickly design wedding invitations, birthday invitations, a baby shower invitation or any other general party invitations. Preparty then sends out an email to your guests with a link to view and RSVP to your invitation. The end result is you have a summary list of who is coming and who cannot make it.


Event Homepage

As you organise your event from A to B, including finding a venue, booking entertainment, designing an invitation etc. Preparty automatically builds you a homepage for you event where guests can RSVP, look at your venue, post comments and share photos. This helps you to quickly and inexpensively get the word out and create buzz around your event.

Guest list

Preparty allows you to create and manage your guest list in an easy to use automated RSVP environment. You can set your guests list up as exclusively under your control, or allow you guests the ability to invite other guests. You may also choose to show you guest list on your event homepage or hide it so that no one knows you is coming.


Guest Questionnaire

If you need to find information out from your guests, perhaps their dietary requirements (vegetarian, kosher etc...), or if they are intending to bring a partner, you can you Preparty's Guest Questionnaire. This feature allows you to compose a questionnaire (survey) from scratch with any questions and multiple choice answers you can think of. Then you can send it to your guests and Preparty will automatically correlate the results.


Mobile text reminders

One of Preparty's fun features is the ability to let you set an automated mobile text message reminder to your guests that includes the details of your event. There is no more need for you to get last minute phone calls about starting time and address because you can get Preparty to send the details to everyone one or two days before your event.


Online Event Marketing

Special Events

Special events such as conferences, festivals and other types of large gatherings have special needs. For example the University of New South Whales has facilities such as The John Clancy Auditorium which fits up to 945 people in a theatre style sitting. After you may need to split up your delegates and could take use of the Legion Dining Hall and smaller lecture rooms in the John Niland Scientia Building for breakout sessions. Alternately you could hire out the whole of GPO Sydney entertaining up to 1500 guests with interactive food and cocktail making, wine and cheese tasting or take advantage of its' Audio Visual and AV equipment for presentations.
