How the Birthday Draw Works
- 1
Add the guests
Or share one link and let each guest add their own name.
- 2
Set a limit and a date
One spending limit for every gift, and the day of the party.
- 3
Everyone draws
Each guest draws a name from their own link and sees only their own result.
Built for a Party
At a birthday exchange, every guest draws one other guest and brings a gift for them, so everyone leaves with something.
Guests add themselves
Post one link with the invitation. Each guest adds their own name, and you set how many can join and when the link closes.
Wishlists
Guests list what they would like, with photos and sizes, and only the person who drew them sees it.
Pairs kept apart
Mark who should not draw whom, such as partners, and the draw works around them.
No one draws their own name
Impossible by design. If the rules leave no valid draw, the generator says so rather than producing a broken one.
A Party Look for the Group
This page is shown in Confetti, a purple theme with names drawn from a party hat. Black Tie suits a formal party. A group can use either on the draw, the group pages, the invite, the emails and the link preview. Themes are a paid upgrade.

Birthday Exchange Questions
Every guest draws the name of one other guest in secret and brings a gift for them, within a spending limit. It suits parties for adults, milestone birthdays and groups that share a birthday month.
No. A link is enough to take part. If you have email addresses, sending everyone their own link by email is free.
Yes. Share one link with the invitation and each guest adds their own name. You set how many can join and when the link closes.
Add them and draw again so everyone is assigned again. If a change leaves the draw broken, the organizer gets a notice explaining what is wrong along with a one-click reset.
