The flow

From card to check-in, without the paper chase.

Hosts stop guessing who is coming. Guests get a real invitation on the phone they already use.

1

Design the card

Pick a template, add names, date, venue, and a personal QR for every guest.

2

Send on WhatsApp

Deliver the invitation by WhatsApp or SMS. No printing queue. No lost envelopes.

3

Collect RSVPs

Guests tap Ndio or Sitahudhuria. Your dashboard updates Yes, No, and still pending.

4

Scan at the gate

Staff open the BlessEvents app, scan the card, and see who is in — in real time.

For the host

A live picture of the event, not a spreadsheet.

See total guests, checked in, RSVP yes, and RSVP no on one screen. Switch events, scan QR, and add a guest without leaving the phone.

  • Real-time stats for the selected event
  • Guest list with search at the door
  • Allowed entries for plus-ones

At the door

QR check-in that the ushers can actually use.

Align the code, scan, and know immediately if the invitation is valid. Manual search is there when a phone battery dies.

  • Fast QR scanner for the gate
  • Clear success and invalid results
  • Check-in history you can review later

For guests

RSVP without installing an app.

The invitation arrives on WhatsApp. Guests tap a button — Ndio, nitahudhuria or Sitahudhuria — and you see the answer on the guest list.

  • WhatsApp buttons guests already understand
  • SMS delivery when WhatsApp is not enough
  • Beautiful cards they can save and share

The product

Everything a Tanzanian host needs between “save the date” and the last dance.

Built around how events here actually run — family lists, plus-ones, last-minute names, and a busy gate.

01

Invitation cards

Personalised digital cards with guest name, event details, and a unique QR code.

02

WhatsApp & SMS

Send in bulk. Track delivery. Reach guests on the channel they will actually open.

03

One-tap RSVP

Yes and No from WhatsApp, then live counts on the dashboard. No extra website login for guests.

04

Door scanner

The BlessEvents app turns a phone into a check-in station for ushers and security.

05

Guest control

Allowed entries, used entries, and a list you can search when someone forgets the card.

06

Host dashboard

Web tools for the planner, mobile tools for the day — same event, same numbers.

Occasions

Made for the events Tanzania actually throws.

Harusi

Weddings

Long guest lists, family plus-ones, and a gate that needs to move. This is the core use.

Kitchen / send-off

Send-off

Smaller, tighter lists. RSVP still matters. Cards still need to look special.

And more

Birthdays & work

Graduations, church, launches, and corporate nights — same flow, different card.

FAQ

Straight answers before you start.

Do guests need to install an app?

No. Guests receive the invitation on WhatsApp or SMS. The BlessEvents app is for the host and the people at the door.

How does RSVP work?

If the event has RSVP on, the WhatsApp message includes buttons such as “Ndio, nitahudhuria” and “Sitahudhuria”. The answer is stored against that guest.

What if a guest has no phone at the gate?

Ushers can search the guest list by name and check them in manually, with the same allowed-entry rules as a QR scan.

Can I use this outside Dodoma?

Yes. BlessEvents is based in Dodoma, Tanzania, and works anywhere you can send WhatsApp or SMS and scan a QR code.

How do I get started?

Message us on WhatsApp. We set up the event, the card, and the guest list with you — then you send.
