Your party is 288 days away.
📌 That date is just an example. Set your own below and you'll get a link with your date in it, and this page keeps the background.
That's 41 weeks and 1 day to go.

Everything applies to the counter live, and rides along in the link and the embed code.

Group plans decay like fruit. Agree something six weeks out and half of it needs re-confirming by week four, which is exactly what a shared number on a screen is for.
- Two to three weeks of notice is the sweet spot. Any earlier and people forget, any later and they are busy.
- Set a target time so guests know whether 8pm means 8pm.
- Send the link once and the date stops being a question in the chat.
- A 30 day countdown is four weekends. Two of them will be spoken for already. 🥳
A rough run-up
