Engagement party
An engagement party is often the first time both families meet in the same room. You need a date that suits everyone, a clear idea of who is coming and a way to keep what people say. Here are the steps, and what Filomy makes easier at each one.

Find a date with both families
What makes it complicated
Date suggestions go out in two separate WhatsApp groups, replies cross over and nobody knows which date has won.
With Filomy
A poll shared by link lets everyone choose between several dates, with a closing date and results everyone can see.

Send the invitations
What makes it complicated
You count guests by hand across texts, calls and messages, and a few replies are always missing.
With Filomy
The invitation page takes 2 minutes to set up; replies (yes, no, maybe, number of companions) come in real time and you remind non-responders in one click.

Organise a group gift
What makes it complicated
One person pays upfront, then keeps a list of who has paid and chases the others for weeks.
With Filomy
The personalised gift voucher shows the gift (for example « A weekend by the sea »), a target amount and a few words from each participant; everyone pledges and pays the organiser directly.
Personalised gift voucher → - On the day
Collect messages from loved ones
What makes it complicated
Kind words are said in passing, photos stay on guests' phones and nothing is kept.
With Filomy
The online guest book collects messages, photos, videos and voice notes by link, QR code or WhatsApp, with no app or account.
Online guest book → - After the party
Write a message for later
What makes it complicated
The wishes and promises of the day fade quickly, and a letter put away in a drawer gets lost.
With Filomy
The time capsule lets you write a message today that will be delivered in 1, 5 or 10 years.
Time capsule → - Every year
Remember the date
What makes it complicated
The engagement date gets buried in the calendar, and you remember it the day after.
With Filomy
Birthday reminders send an automatic alert before important dates, free of charge.
