Parties, playdates & the days between
Plan the party. Keep the friendships.
Don't let "we should get together sometime" die in the group chat. From the big birthday to a Tuesday at the park, Upward gives every gathering one private place to invite, decide, and remember — free for families.
- Private by default
- One-tap RSVP, no app for guests
- Free — no card, no trial
Got an invite? Just tap your link — RSVP in one tap, no app needed.
How it works
Three steps. One link.
From “we should do something for their birthday” to a day everyone remembers — without the group-text chaos.
Name the party or playdate. Leave the day or place open if the families still need to decide.
Plan first.
Parents send it wherever their people already talk. Guests tap their link and RSVP without an app.
Make it theirs.
Families choose the place and day, add it to calendars, then keep the photos and friendships close.
Show up happy.
See it as your family will.
The event workspace keeps the plan, the people, and what comes next in one calm view.
One calm view for the plan, the people, and what comes next.

Playdates
Leo and Mila get another Saturday
Small plans stay small. A casual invite, a place everyone helps choose, and a private album make the next get-together easier to start.
An open invite keeps the ask light. One parent shares the link, and each family joins when the day works for them.
Families suggest parks, venues, and days, vote on what works, and the host confirms the plan.
Every family who came can add photos to one private album — and nobody outside that afternoon can see them.
The invitation starts the party
Your child picks the theme, and the invitation opens like a little moment of its own — then quietly runs the logistics for you.
- Animated themes your child picks — storybook, confetti pop, cosmic mission, wild adventure
- Every household gets its own private link — there is no public event page
- Guests RSVP in one tap — no app to download
- Reminders go out automatically — a week before, three days, day-of
- You see attending, maybe, and can’t-make-it by household, not group-text chaos
Gift lists
No more guessing. No more doubles.
Share what actually fits — from any store on the internet — and let guests see what is already spoken for, without anyone having to ask.
Add ideas from any store on the internet. Guests buy direct from the shop they already use, and Upward adds nothing to the price.
They know what fits.
Guests quietly claim what they are bringing, so nothing arrives twice. Surprise mode keeps the whole list hidden from the guest of honour.
One of everything.
Book the venue too.
Upward partners with venues and activity providers across Vancouver, North Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Port Moody. Somewhere else? Everything above works wherever you are.
