Thanks for the Hunt @kikischirr!
Fête ("fet") is the intelligent invitations app that fetches you >85% rsvp rates. It’s the most effective & versatile invitation service available. People use it equally well in getting a headcount for their housewarming, choosing a place & date for their team dinner, and everything between. And our sms bot for guests provides an easy yet feature-rich experience for guests without the app.
Inspired by my time working as an urban designer in Paris, I returned to the US to start Fête, leveraging design & tech to bring the vibrancy of Parisian urban life stateside. Check it out and comment with your feedback or questions! Also send inquiries to hello@fete.la
Fête was founded in Atlanta, by myself, @rajhparikh, and @john_dugan.
It's free to download and use.

More about the design:
Each unique combination of event type, size, and context requires a slightly different planning tool. A large party requires the organization of evite, while a small dinner the flexibility of group messaging. Building one product - one invitation card - to do it all is a complex design problem that has defined our company and approach. From day one, Fête was designed to serve a full gamut of events, from formal to informal, small to big, confirmed to planning-in-progress. We seamlessly integrate the disparate components of event planning - invitation, places, voting, scheduling, chat, rsvp, etc - through a restrained graphical vocabulary of lines and text.
@tomfme@kikischirr@fete Hi! Thanks for your question. We'd considered both, actually, but ended up choosing the authentic spelling of the word, which is french for party. But we've hear like 30 different pronunciations of it!
Choosing a time and date for a group meet up is always a pain --but Fête's party planning via text system is an awesome new way to coordinate.
When you test it, note the onboarding, which has been streamlined really well, in my opinion!
@kikischirr Would you invite for a coffee or to meet for a run with fete as well? Would it be an value add when you get directions to the location within the app? Such as https://www.producthunt.com/post... offers?
@myyellowshoe Hi Justin! Thank you. Hope you're well. You're right It's great for large events for how easily guests can respond, and in so many different ways. But what makes Fête unique is that it's just as great for small events, professional events, recreational, and then of course events without a decided date and/or place.
