Reader questions The Hosting Issue · FAQ
Is there really a free plan?

Yes — Confetti is free forever. Two active events, fifty guests each, full budgeting and RSVP tracking. We only charge when you want AI, shopping list export, or to host bigger gatherings.

How does the AI seating engine work?

You tag relationships (family, friend, colleague), optionally add notes like "introvert" or "avoid seating with Dan", and the engine builds a seating chart that encourages conversation and keeps conflicts apart. Every suggestion is editable — drag and drop to move anyone.

How do I share the menu with my caterer?

Once guests have RSVPed and meal selections are in, PartyOS generates a per-dish breakdown — how many of each dish, by course — that you can export as a CSV and hand straight to your caterer.

Can my co-host see and edit the plan?

Co-planners are in on the Host and Production plans. Choose between editor, contributor, or view-only roles. Changes show up immediately, everywhere.

What about privacy? Some of this is sensitive.

Dietary info, health notes, and guest relationships are encrypted and stored securely on AWS infrastructure. We never share guest data with third parties, and you can delete an event — and everything in it — in one click.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account settings and your plan stays active until the end of the billing period. Your events stay on the free tier afterwards — nothing gets deleted.
