Features

Everything you need

Powerful tools to plan your event, your way

Beautiful RSVP pages

Create stunning, customizable RSVP pages that match your event perfectly. Easy for guests to use and beautiful to share.

Marketplace (Markaðstorg)

Connect with local vendors, caterers, venues, and service providers. Find everything you need for your event in one place.

QR ticket scanning

QR tickets for every guest in their e-wallet. The code is verified at the door — for anyone who wants to control access to their events.

Live photo wall

Guests scan a QR code and their photos, videos and greetings appear on your projector or TV in real time — no app, no login.

Capacity & waitlist

Cap attendance at the number who can take part. Extra guests join a waitlist that you admit one at a time as spots open up.

Live event schedule

Share a detailed timeline with guests, with a location for each item.

Real-time messenger

Chat directly with your guests in real-time. Answer questions, share updates, and keep everyone informed instantly.

Task list

Plan with a task list. Ready-made templates for weddings and confirmations, priorities, subtasks, and assign tasks to the host, party planner or other co-hosts.

Budget

Track every cost item. Estimate, compare quotes and store documents. Mark what's been paid and what's still outstanding.

Gift registry

Give guests gift ideas and make life easy for them. They can browse and reserve gifts — and hosts can't see who reserved which gift.

Seating arrangement

Assign guests to tables, print seating charts and table cards. Want to let guests pick their own table? You can offer that too!

Drink tickets & credits

Give guests QR drink tickets in their e-wallet. Age verification with national ID, and the scanner always works — even when the connection is poor.

Drink calculator

Work out how much wine, beer, alcohol-free drinks, soda and bubbly to buy — by guest count, length, occasion and how lively you expect it to get.

Custom questions

Ask guests anything you need to know - age, menu choice, travel details, flight number, or anything else. Answers appear neatly in your guest list, and you can export them to Excel.

Employee events that build culture

The árshátíð is just the tip of the iceberg. The small, frequent employee events shape culture in practice — and Melda is as good at those as the big ones.
