Life's milestones, beautifully orchestrated.

SaidYes is a web-based event planning platform built for couples, families, and professional planners who need more than a static invitation. Keeways designed and developed the full product from the ground up, a builder-style interface for crafting animated, multilingual digital invitations, paired with a backend that handles RSVP tracking, automated reminders, WhatsApp-based guest communication, and white-label resale for event professionals. The platform operates across the UK and Lebanon, serving both individual clients planning weddings and engagements and planning agencies managing dozens of events simultaneously.

The background

SaidYes is a UK-registered events technology company with operations in London and Beirut. The company was founded on a straightforward observation: most digital invitation tools stop at the invitation itself. They produce a card, maybe collect an RSVP, and leave the host to manage everything else, guest communication, reminders, dietary preferences, seating, updates, through scattered spreadsheets, group chats, and manual follow-ups. SaidYes set out to close that gap with a platform that treats the invitation as the starting point of a managed event experience, not the end of it.

The product covers a wide range of personal celebrations, weddings, engagements, proposals, baby showers, bachelor parties, and similar milestones. Pricing starts at $70 for an essential package and scales to $250 for an ultimate tier that includes features like music playlist coordination, venue-level guest management, and dietary preference tracking. Beyond the consumer-facing product, SaidYes also operates a white-label professional tier aimed at event planning agencies, allowing them to rebrand the platform under their own identity and manage multiple client events from a single dashboard.

The company positions itself at the intersection of design-forward invitation tools and practical event operations software. Its audience expects both, invitations that feel personal and premium, and backend tools that reduce the manual overhead of running an event with dozens or hundreds of guests.

The challenge

Before engaging Keeways, SaidYes existed as a concept with clear product ambitions but no production-grade platform to deliver on them. The founding team understood their market well, couples and families who wanted something more personal than a mass-market invitation service, and event planners who needed tools that scaled, but the technical execution required to serve both audiences simultaneously was substantial.

Several layers of complexity made this more than a standard web build. The invitation system needed to function as a visual builder, not a template picker, users had to be able to compose invitations from modular blocks (text, images, countdowns, maps, RSVP forms, icon sets) with control over fonts, colors, animations, and layout. That builder had to produce invitations that rendered well across devices and languages, including right-to-left scripts. On the operations side, the platform needed real-time RSVP tracking, automated invitation sending on scheduled triggers, push reminders, WhatsApp integration for quick-reply RSVPs, and analytics dashboards that showed hosts exactly how their guests were engaging with the invitation.

The white-label layer added another dimension: the same platform had to support rebranding at the agency level, custom logos, color schemes, and subdomains, without fragmenting the codebase or creating maintenance overhead. The brief to Keeways was to build the entire product end-to-end: design the user experience, architect the platform, develop both the consumer and professional tiers, and deliver a system that could handle growth from launch-day couples to agency clients managing hundreds of events per year.

The solution

Keeways approached the SaidYes build as a product engineering engagement rather than a website project, treating the invitation builder, guest management system, and professional tier as three interdependent products sharing a single architecture.


01

The invitation builder was designed around a block-based composition system. Rather than offering a fixed set of templates, Keeways built a modular editor where hosts assemble invitations from over 20 distinct content blocks, text, images, RSVP forms, countdown timers, location maps, icon sets, and more. Each block supports granular styling: users choose from over 1,000 Google Fonts, set custom color palettes, and select from more than 20 animation styles. The result is that no two invitations look alike, and hosts retain full creative ownership without needing any design skills. Every invitation generates a unique, shareable link, and on the premium tier, a custom subdomain, that serves as the living hub for the entire event.


02

Behind the invitation sits a full guest management and communication layer. Keeways built an integrated RSVP system that tracks responses in real time and feeds them into a dashboard where hosts can filter by attendance status, dietary preferences, and plus-one confirmations. Automated invitation sending dispatches personalized invites on scheduled triggers, eliminating the need for hosts to manually send hundreds of messages. Reminders go out automatically at configurable intervals before the event. For the premium and ultimate tiers, Keeways integrated WhatsApp-based quick-reply RSVPs, guests receive their invitation via WhatsApp and can confirm attendance with a single tap, dramatically reducing the friction that causes low response rates on traditional digital invites.


03

The professional tier required Keeways to build a white-label infrastructure that lets event planning agencies operate SaidYes under their own brand. Each agency gets a customizable interface with their logo, brand colors, and identity applied across every client-facing touchpoint. Agencies manage multiple events from a centralized dashboard, with dedicated account support and scalable pricing tied to their client volume. The architecture ensures that white-label customizations remain isolated per tenant without duplicating the underlying codebase, keeping the platform maintainable as the number of agency partners grows.


04

On the frontend, Keeways designed a visual experience that reflects the emotional weight of the events SaidYes serves. The public-facing website and the invitation pages themselves were built to feel warm, personal, and considered, not like a SaaS admin panel. Real-time analytics give hosts visibility into invitation open rates, peak viewing times, and guest interaction patterns, turning what would otherwise be a passive invitation into an active communication channel. Multi-language support, covering five-plus languages including RTL scripts, ensures the platform works for the diverse, cross-border audiences that characterize modern celebrations in the UK and the Middle East.

Results

The SaidYes platform launched as a fully functional product across all four pricing tiers, serving both individual hosts and professional event planners from day one.


01

A builder, not a template library

The block-based invitation system gives hosts genuine creative control over their event's digital identity. With 20-plus content blocks, 1,000-plus fonts, and 20-plus animation styles, hosts produce invitations that feel bespoke, not pulled from a catalogue. The custom subdomain and shareable link turn each invitation into a persistent event hub that guests revisit for updates, schedules, and logistics.


02

Guest management that runs itself

Automated invitation sending, scheduled reminders, and WhatsApp quick-reply RSVPs reduced the manual coordination that typically consumes hosts in the weeks before an event. Real-time RSVP dashboards replaced spreadsheet tracking, and hosts gained visibility into guest engagement patterns, who opened the invitation, who responded, and who needed a nudge.


03

A white-label channel for agencies

The professional tier opened a new revenue stream for SaidYes by enabling event planning agencies to offer the platform under their own brand. Agencies gained a turnkey digital invitation and event management product without building one themselves, while SaidYes gained distribution through planning professionals who manage dozens of events per year.


04

Designed for cross-border celebrations

Multi-language support and RTL compatibility ensured the platform worked naturally for the bilingual, cross-cultural audiences common in the UK-Lebanon market. Guests in Beirut and London receive the same quality of experience, personalized invitations in their language, WhatsApp-native communication, and responsive layouts that work on any device.
