Everything Events does
NaijaMart Events is for planning a Nigerian celebration from the first Save the Date to the last thank-you: your guest list, cards, seats, gate, vendors, budget and the money guests give. Here is everything it does.

You choose who sees it
Private, unlisted or public; open to all, invitation only, or for ticket holders.

One guest code
Switch on one shared code that opens the full page for anyone you give it to.

Banner, your story, highlights, dress code, music, menu, drinks, band, photos, what to expect, seating, gifts, giving and guest messages. Show or hide each one; private sections open only with a code.

Progress at a glance

Your own tests do not count
When you or your team open a guest's link to check it, it is not counted as the guest answering.

Table hosts

Move people without resending
Move a guest to another table, or to the floating table, and nothing is sent again.
