Everything a birthday party needs
From the first budget estimate to the final guest check-in, PLVN handles the operational layer so you spend your energy on the celebration itself.
Surprise mode
Hide the event plan from the guest of honour's view. A private co-planner link lets everyone else coordinate without risk of spoiling it. Designed for surprise parties from the ground up.
Vendor suggestions by guest count
Tell PLVN how many guests you expect and it surfaces vendors appropriately sized for the event — no catering companies that only do 500+ being shown to someone planning a 40-person party.
Budget templates by scale
Pick your scale and get a starting budget template — venue, catering, music, decor, photography, cake, and contingency — with typical Accra market ranges so you know what to expect before you call a single vendor.
Guest RSVP management
Send personalised digital invitations and track RSVPs in real time. See who has confirmed, who has not responded, and who declined — with a live headcount that updates automatically as responses come in.
Day-of countdown and check-in
On the day itself, switch to live mode. The countdown to the first guest's arrival, the run-of-show for speeches and cake-cutting, and the guest check-in list are all in one screen. Nothing missed, nothing improvised.
Vendor categories
Every supplier and specialist you need for a birthday party — at any scale — is discoverable and bookable inside PLVN.

"My mother's 70th was the first time I planned an event for over a hundred people. PLVN kept me on track every week — the caterers, the décor, the guest RSVPs. On the day, I was actually present."Kofi Darko — 70th birthday celebration, London
