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

  1. From your dashboard, click New party
  2. Enter a name for your party
  3. 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:

  1. Go to your party's page
  2. Click Invite to Party
  3. A unique invite link is generated and copied to your clipboard
  4. Share this link with anyone you want to join
  5. 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.
