How the Friendsgiving Draw Works
- 1
Add the guests
Or share one link in the group chat and let each guest add their own name.
- 2
Set a limit
One spending limit for every gift, so no one overspends.
- 3
Everyone draws
Each guest draws a name on their own phone and sees only their own result.
Built for a Dinner Among Friends
A Friendsgiving exchange is a small gift swap at the meal. Everyone draws one guest and brings a gift for them.
Guests can add themselves
Post one link in the group chat. Each guest adds their own name, and you set how many can join and when the link closes.
Couples kept apart
Mark who should not draw whom, such as partners or roommates, and the draw works around them.
Wishlists
Guests list what they would like, with photos and sizes, and only the person who drew them sees it.
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 Harvest Look for the Group
This page is shown in Friendsgiving, a harvest red theme with names drawn from a cornucopia. A group can use it on the draw, the group pages, the invite, the emails and the link preview. Themes are a paid upgrade.

Friendsgiving Exchange Questions
Everyone draws the name of one other guest and brings a gift for them to the dinner, within a spending limit the host sets. No one knows who drew them until the gifts are opened.
No. A link is enough to take part. If you have email addresses, sending everyone their own link by email is free.
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.
Yes. An exchange works with as few as three people, and you can set how many can join through the invite link.
