Birthdays

Plan a birthday everyone can actually make

Birthdays are the worst thing to organise, because the one person who has to be there is the one person you're trying to surprise with a full turnout. Vively finds the night that gets the most people in the room, without you running a headcount in your notes app.

How it plays out

Sarah's 30th

Sarah wants her 30th on a Saturday in March, but half her mates have kids and the other half work shifts. She makes an event called "Sarah's 30th", picks the four Saturdays in March, and drops the link in the group chat.

By the next morning nine people have tapped their free dates. The 22nd is green for seven of them, the 15th only works for four. She books the 22nd and moves on with her life.

The winning date

Most people free

Vively shows you exactly who can make each day, so you book knowing who's in.

Tips for this one

Restrict it to weekends

If it has to be a Saturday, set the event to Saturdays only so nobody wastes a tap on a Tuesday.

Give a real window

A three or four week range gets far better answers than "this weekend?" fired into the chat on a Wednesday.

Keep the surprise

Organising for someone else? Just don't send them the link. Everyone else picks dates and they never see the working out.
