What’s happened? Apple’s Invites app has received an update that makes it easier for hosts to see exactly how many guests will be attending their events.
- Released earlier this year, the app lets users create and share custom invitations and manage RSVPs. In addition, the app allows guests to contribute photos and videos to shared albums and create collaborative Apple Music playlists.
- With its latest release, hosts can now let guests specify the number of adults and kids they’ll be bringing to the event.
Why is this important? While it’s a minor change, it’s quite practical as it gives hosts a clearer picture of how many guests to expect.
- Knowing the exact number of adults and children attending will make it easier to plan for food, seating, gifts, and other such details.
- The feature will also help reduce last-minute surprises for the host, ensuring events run smoothly.

Why should I care? If you often use Apple Invites for event invitations, you can now see exactly how many adults and kids will attend your event.
- This will allow you to carefully plan all details, including food, activities, party favors, etc., without any guesswork.
- If you’ve ever scrambled to change reservations or adjust food orders because a friend showed up with an unexpected plus one, you can now avoid those last-minute hassles by using this feature.
What’s next? The new feature is rolling out with Apple Invites version 1.6. If you’re new to the app, note that you’ll need an iCloud Plus subscription to create an event. Invitees, however, can access invites on an iPhone or the web and RSVP for free.
