The modern way to manage events, RSVPs, and guest experiences in Nigeria

The Problem

The Challenge

Nigerian event planning — weddings, owambe, naming ceremonies, corporate events — is vibrant, culturally rich, and completely chaotic behind the scenes. Paper invitations get lost. Manual guest counting leads to catering disasters. There is no reliable way to track RSVPs, and cash-heavy gift collection creates security and logistics headaches.

Event planners and hosts desperately needed a digital-first solution — but not just any tool. They needed one that truly understands Nigerian event culture: the importance of asoebi coordination, the tradition of cash gifts, the reality that guests share everything on WhatsApp, and the expectation that every celebration should feel grand regardless of budget.

Western event platforms completely miss these nuances. Nigeria needed its own solution.

Our Process

Our Approach

Deep research into Nigerian event culture and pain points — from owambe logistics to naming ceremony traditions

WhatsApp-first sharing strategy, because that is how Nigerians actually share invitations and coordinate events

Integrated digital payments for cash gifts and asoebi — built for how money moves in Nigeria

Mobile-optimised for guests who RSVP on their phones, often on slower connections

What We Built

Key Features Built

Digital Invitations

Beautiful, shareable event pages with custom branding — from elegant wedding cards to vibrant owambe invites that capture the energy of the celebration.

Smart RSVP Tracking

Real-time guest confirmations, dietary preferences, plus-ones, and meal choices. Know exactly who is coming, who is not, and who brought extra guests.

Digital Gift Collection

Seamless digital gift collection, replacing the logistics of cash spraying and envelope management. Guests send gifts before, during, or after the event.

Asoebi Management

Fabric sales, size collection, and payment tracking for traditional attire coordination. No more WhatsApp group chaos for asoebi orders.

Event Dashboard

Live guest count, check-in system, and seating management. Hosts see everything in one place — from RSVPs to revenue to table assignments.

WhatsApp Sharing

One-tap sharing optimised for WhatsApp, Nigeria's primary messaging app. Invitations go where conversations already happen.
