Hen & stag party
A hen or stag party is planned in secret, by several people, often with friends who don't all know each other. You need to pick a date, collect money for activities and nights, then keep the memories. Here are the steps, and what Filomy makes easier at each one.
- 3 months before
Choose the date and destination
What makes it complicated
The WhatsApp group overflows with suggestions, some people reply privately and the final choice never satisfies everyone.
With Filomy
A multiple-choice poll lets everyone vote on the date and destination, with a closing date and shared results.

Sign people up and split the costs
What makes it complicated
Some come for one night, others for two, some skip an activity: the spreadsheet of amounts becomes unreadable.
With Filomy
Online registration offers options (nights, activities, t-shirt…) and works out each person's total; a deposit is possible and people pay the organiser directly, with a unique reference.

Cover the bride or groom's share
What makes it complicated
The guest of honour's share and the gift are handled separately, and you have to remember who has already given what.
With Filomy
The commission-free kitty collects everyone's pledges; the organiser ticks off payments received and sees promised versus paid in real time.

Chase late payers
What makes it complicated
You go through your bank statement trying to work out who has paid, then chase people one by one.
With Filomy
Reminders go out in one click, and matching with your bank statement shows who has paid.

Gather photos and messages
What makes it complicated
Photos and videos end up scattered across everyone's phones and are never brought together.
With Filomy
The online guest book collects messages, photos, videos and voice notes by link, QR code or WhatsApp, with no app or account.

Give a keepsake of the weekend
What makes it complicated
Putting an album together means collecting every photo and every note, often weeks later.
With Filomy
Guest book contributions can be printed as cards or a book, to give to the guest of honour.

All these steps gathered on a single mini-site, shared by link or QR code.
