Gatsby's Party review
A broad free web planner covering guests, budgets, vendors, seating and checklists.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Gatsby's Party is a free web-based event planner for couples organizing weddings, as well as hosts planning birthdays and other celebrations. It brings guest lists, email invitations, online RSVP collection, event pages, checklists, schedules, budgets, vendors, seating charts, printable materials and hashtag generation into one place. Guests can respond without creating an account, while hosts can manage planning information through the web platform. Couples wanting broad planning coverage without a subscription should find its scope relevant.
The strongest fit is its range of planning tools. Guest lists support text or CSV import, email invitations and automatic RSVP reminders. Budget tracking separates planned, committed and paid amounts, while vendor records hold contacts, quotes and booking statuses. Checklists can include due dates and calendar scheduling, and drag-and-drop seating charts support table layouts. That combination gives couples a practical way to connect guest management, spending, vendors and event logistics rather than handling each area separately.
The Free plan costs $0 USD per month and includes guest lists and RSVPs, checklists and schedules, budget and vendor tracking, seating charts, and printable place cards and invitations. Standalone invitation, place-card and hashtag makers are also available without an account. Gatsby's Party is a good choice for couples who want a capable free web planner with many core wedding tasks in one service. Couples seeking a clearly defined shared-planning workflow or a platform beyond the web should consider an alternative.
