For a lot of us, life isn't measured in weeks. It's measured in events. A surprise birthday, the Sunday cricket gang, the society's Ganesh Chaturthi, the college reunion, the office offsite, a friend's book launch. We're wired to celebrate something, or someone, most weeks of the year.
Behind every "let's party!" is a small amount of chaos: RSVPs lost in chats, "where's the venue again?", the one person who was supposed to bring the cake, and a secretary somewhere reconciling it all in a spreadsheet.
Fast Party takes that off the host. This is the plain-language tour of what it is in 2026: for the person throwing one party, for the group that meets every month, and for the organization that runs hundreds of events a year.
One event, and the twelve tools that run it
Start with a party. Pick an invitation from the Celebration Hub (locally inspired templates for birthdays, weddings, festivals and team events), add the details, and share the link. That link is the event page. Guests RSVP with one tap, with +1s, and a printed version of the same invite carries a QR code that opens it.
Then you switch on only the tools this event needs. There are twelve, and they sit in the order a host actually works:
Tell guests what's happening
- Event Schedule: what happens, and when. For anything with more than one thing in it.
- Event Lineup: speakers and performers, each linked to their slot.
- Event Folder: menus, maps, dress code; files guests can open.
Ask guests for things
- Guest Preferences: what people eat and drink, so someone has real numbers.
- Travel & Stay: arrival, hotel and pickup details, when people are coming from out of town.
- Gifting & Best Wishes: UPI gifts straight to you, and recorded messages from guests.
- Potluck Manager: guests claim a dish, so you never get five kheers and no rice.
On the day
- Check-In: guests check themselves in, or you scan them at the door. The adults-and-kids split is your real plate count.
- Real-Time Guest ETA: guests choose to share when they're on the way, so you know when to put the starters out.
Afterward
- Photos: the host shares the best pictures in one album, instead of forty phones.
- Feedback Corner: ask how it went while people still remember.
Just for you
- Tasks: your list; guests never see it. Assign the cake and the speaker to real people, with due dates, and see what's done at a glance.

When people have to register, or pay
Not every event is "come along". Reunions, workshops, club nights, fundraisers and ticketed shows need a door.
Turn on registration and the same event page becomes a box office: ticket types and prices, capacity limits, payment by Razorpay or UPI into your own account, an approval queue when you want to vet who comes, age-gating where it matters, QR check-in at the gate, and attendee analytics afterward. Registration can be paused and resumed, and the registration link is shareable on its own.
Free events, free-but-approved events, and paid events are all the same object with different switches, so a Circle's monthly meetup and a 500-person ticketed reunion are run the same way.
The same people, again and again: Circles
Most events aren't one-offs. The family, the office, the running club, the whole apartment block: the same group, every month. A Circle is that group saved once: invite everyone once, and every future event goes to them in one tap. Inside a Circle there's a shared calendar, posts, polls and surveys, and sub-Circles for the decor team or Tower B. A society can lay out its whole festival year in an afternoon.
Many Circles, one roof: Organizations
Schools and colleges have batches. Clubs have sections and committees. Agencies have clients. Each is a Circle, and an Organization is the home they all sit under: one member roster, your logo and colors on every page and invite, broadcasts from your own WhatsApp Business number, ticket money into your own account, and one dashboard across the lot. Ten years of member and event history can be imported once, so it's all there from day one.
Organizations come dressed for the job: Reunion for alumni bodies, Coterie for clubs and associations, Jubila for planners and agencies, Belvedere for venues that program events. Same platform, the right vocabulary.
Ask Antsy: a guide on every screen
Antsy is Fast Party's guide, and it lives on every screen. Tap Ask Antsy in any of the twelve tools and it tells you what this one is, what to do first, and the thing you'd otherwise get wrong. (Uploading a document to the Event Folder isn't the same as sharing it. Turning on Guest Preferences doesn't re-ask the people who already replied. Feedback sent a week later gets almost no answers.) And when you change the time or the venue, your guests get a notification.
And you can do all of it from Claude
This is the part most people don't expect. Fast Party is a connector: add it to Claude once, and Claude gets the actual controls for your events, not just advice about them.
From a conversation you can:
- Create the event, set the venue, and generate an invitation design for it.
- Build the guest list from a Circle or a paste of names, send the invites, and ask "who hasn't replied?"
- Fill the tools: lay out a multi-day schedule and shift it when the timings move, add the lineup and link each person to a slot, set up the potluck categories, describe the food preferences in plain English and have them configured, put the menus and maps in the Event Folder, set up UPI gifting.
- Run registration: create ticket types, open and pause sales, approve or reject the queue in bulk, and pull the registration dashboard and attendee analytics.
- Work the day: check people in, see arrivals per activity, read the ETA picture.
- Close it out: generate the feedback form, publish it, and read the summary of what came back.
- Run the organization: create Circles, post updates, launch a poll or survey, send a broadcast, and read the org dashboard.
Everything you plan stays with the event, so next year's party starts from what worked this year. For a team, the owner adds the connector once and every member just clicks Connect, which is why this lands hardest with alumni associations, clubs and agencies, where one person is running forty events a year. See how to set it up; we'll do it with you on a call if you'd rather.
A weekend, in Fast Party
Friday. "Just a small birthday" becomes 45 guests and ten pizzas. The invite goes out from a template, the RSVPs land on one list, three friends get tasks, and the event page tells everyone where to park.
Saturday. The biking group is arguing about the next ride in the chat. It's a Circle now: the poll picks the route, the event goes to everyone in one tap, and the photos end up in one place.
Sunday. The alumni association's 500-person reunion: batches as Circles, tickets through the association's own account, QR at the gate, and the secretary asking Claude for the headcount instead of opening forty tabs.
What Fast Party is, in one line
One place to invite people, keep them informed, split the work, take the money and remember what happened, for a party of ten or an organization of ten thousand, from the app or from your AI.
