Questions and answers
For parents
Is Birfy free?
Yes. Making a party page, collecting RSVPs and sharing a wishlist are all free.
How long does it take to make a party page?
About 3 minutes. Add the basics, pick a design, choose how guests can give gifts, then enter your email to publish.
Do I need a password?
No. We email you a one-time sign-in link. Open it on your phone and you're in.
Can I change the party after I've shared the link?
Yes. The date, time, place, design, wishlist and settings can all be edited, and the link stays the same. If you change the date, guests who already said yes are asked to confirm they're still coming.
Who can see my party page?
Anyone you send the link to. The link has a random code so it can't be guessed, and party pages are hidden from search engines. Only you and any co-hosts you invite see guests' notes and contact details.
How does the wishlist work?
Add gift ideas with an optional store link. After a guest says yes, they can reserve a gift so nobody brings the same thing. Other guests only see that it's taken; you can see who reserved it.
Does Birfy handle money?
No. If you'd like cash gifts, you can show your Venmo or Zelle details and guests pay you directly. Birfy never touches the money.
Can someone help me manage my party?
Yes. Open the party, tap Co-hosts and invite them by email. Choose Manage (edit the party and see guests) or Full access (also cancel the party). They sign in with that email to accept. Only you can delete the party or change co-hosts, and guests don't see co-hosts.
How do party photos work?
After the party, guests can add up to 20 photos each from the party link, for a week. You approve each photo before other guests see it, and guests can look at the album for 30 days. You keep the photos for a year and can download them all at once; we email you two weeks before they're deleted.
How do I cancel or delete a party?
Open the party from My parties. “Cancel this party” keeps the page up with a notice for guests. “Delete this party” removes it completely. You can also delete your whole account from Account.
For guests
Do I need an account to RSVP?
No. Just open the link, tap yes or no and enter your name, plus your email if you're coming.
How do I change my RSVP?
On the same phone, open the party link and tap “Change my RSVP”. On a different phone, tap “Already replied? Change my RSVP” and we'll email you a 6-digit code, if you left your email when you replied. If you didn't, message the host and they can update it for you.
Can I remove my reply?
Yes. On the party page, tap “Change my RSVP”, then “Remove my reply” at the bottom. Guest details are also removed automatically 90 days after the party.
How do I share my party photos?
Open the party link after the party and tap Add your photos. No account is needed and your name isn't shown. The host approves photos before other guests see them, and you can remove your own from the same phone. Guests can view the album but not download it.
Can other guests see who I am?
Other guests may see your initials and a count of who's coming, if the host turns that on. Your note, contact details and which gift you reserved are visible only to the host.
