Planning a simcha right now is a mess

Your guest list lives in Google Sheets. Vendor notes are buried in a WhatsApp thread. The budget is a mental estimate. RSVPs are coming in through email, text, and your mother-in-law's phone calls.

You're toggling between five apps and three notebooks, and the simcha is still six months away.

SimchaPlanner replaces all of that. One login, one dashboard, everything connected. Guests link to RSVPs. RSVPs feed your headcount. Headcount feeds your budget. Tasks have due dates. Vendors have contracts. And your guests get a real event page where they can RSVP online without downloading anything.

Works for any simcha

Each celebration type gets its own planning timeline, default events, and task templates. Here are the ones we've built so far — and we're adding more.

Bar Mitzvah

Multi-event planning from Friday night through Sunday brunch. Torah portions, services, parties, and everything in between.

Bat Mitzvah

Same multi-event support. Shabbat services, kiddush, evening celebration, and any other events you want to plan around.

Wedding

From aufruf to last dance. Chuppah, ketubah, seating, vendors — coordinate across vort, ceremony, reception, and sheva brachot.

12–18 month timeline

Bris

Eight days to plan. Mohel, venue, catering, guest notifications — quick-turn planning with everything organized from day one.

8-day timeline

Sheva Brachot

Seven nights, often seven hosts. Coordinate who's hosting when, what they're serving, and which guests are invited to which night.

7-night coordination

Engagement Party

Vort and l'chaim celebrations. Bring families together, coordinate the venue, and manage the guest list.

2–6 week timeline

Pidyon HaBen

Ceremony and seudah planning for the redemption of a firstborn son. Guest list, catering, and coordination.

30-day timeline

Baby Naming

Welcoming a new child with a naming ceremony. Coordinate the venue, catering, and guest invitations.

2–4 week timeline

Anniversary Celebration

Mark the milestone — 25th, 50th, or any year worth celebrating. Guest list, venue, catering, and tributes.

Custom timeline

Milestone Birthday

Big birthdays deserve real planning. Manage guests, venue, catering, and entertainment in one place.

Custom timeline

Upsherin

First haircut celebration at age three. Coordinate the ceremony, guests, and catering.

Custom timeline

Birthday

Any birthday worth gathering for. Guest list, venue, catering, and party planning — all in one place.

Custom timeline

Any Other Simcha

Kiddush, siyyum, or something else entirely. Create a custom celebration and build your own event list and timeline.

Custom timeline

This list keeps growing. If your simcha isn't here, you can still plan it — choose "Other" and set up your own events and tasks.

What you get

Guest lists organized by family

Not a flat list of names. SimchaPlanner groups guests into families — the Goldsteins (4 people), the Cohens (3 people) — so you can track RSVPs, dietary needs, and invitation tiers at the household level. Filter by side (honoree, spouse, mutual), by tier (A-list, B-list), or by RSVP status.

Budget and vendor tracking

Set a budget by category. Track estimated vs. actual costs. Log deposits and payments. See cost-per-head update as your RSVP count changes. Vendor cards keep contact info, contract amounts, status, and notes in one place.

Event page with online RSVPs

Every celebration gets its own shareable page. Guests visit the link, find their family name, and RSVP per event — no app, no account, no friction. You see responses in your dashboard immediately. The page also shows the schedule, venue directions via Google Maps, and a registry link.

Task timelines that know your simcha

When you create a celebration, SimchaPlanner generates a task checklist based on the type. A bar mitzvah gets 12 months of tasks. A bris gets 8 days. A wedding gets 18 months. You can edit everything, but you're not starting from a blank page.

Gift and thank-you tracking

Log who gave what. Check off thank-you notes as you send them. Never wonder "did we thank the Friedmans?" again.

Multi-event RSVPs

A bar mitzvah isn't one event. It's Friday night, Shabbat morning, kiddush, and the party. Guests can RSVP separately for each, and you see the headcount per event.

Dietary and kashrut notes

Track kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut allergies, and any other requirement per guest. When you're finalizing the menu with your caterer, pull up the list.

Pricing

One price, one celebration, everything included. No monthly fees, no feature tiers, no upsells.
