Your Party
A Party is the core planning unit in Lanyard. This is where you and your travel companions plan trips together.
Party Basics
Each party has: - A name (e.g., "Smith Family Disney Trip 2026") - A list of members - A shared Wishlist that persists across all trips - One or more trips
You can belong to multiple parties — perfect for planning different trips with different groups of people.
Creating a Party
- From your dashboard, click New party
- Enter a name for your party
- Click Create
You'll automatically be added as a member of the new party.
Inviting Members
There are two ways to invite someone to your party:
Invite Link (Recommended)
- Go to your party's page
- Click Invite to Party
- A unique invite link is generated and copied to your clipboard
- Share this link with anyone you want to join
- The link expires after 7 days
Managing Invites
- The party page shows any pending invitations and their expiry dates
- Click Revoke next to an invite to cancel it before it expires
- Once someone accepts an invite, they appear in the member list
Member Management
Currently, all members of a party have equal permissions — anyone can: - Create and edit trips - Add and remove wishlist items - Schedule and reschedule cards - Create public share links - Invite new members
Leaving a Party
If you no longer want to be part of a party, you can simply stop using it. There's no "leave party" button yet — contact us and we'll remove you.
Party Statistics
The party page shows helpful statistics about your wishlist: - Total number of items - Breakdown by type (Parks, Rides, Travel, Events, Meals, Goals) - Quick access to recent items
We plan to add member roles and permissions in a future update.
