A potlucking- or party-planning app for creating picnics (events), inviting your friends, and organizing which foods get put on the table!
Hey Boo-Boo is your ultimate companion in planning a picnic, or any get-together, just like Yogi Bear and his pals. With a user-friendly, bear-ish interface throughout the app, you'll feel like you're right in Jellystone Park.
The app allows you to create a customized picnic plan by selecting the date, time, location, and unique title for your event. You can also invite friends and family to their picnic through the app, send out invitations, and view RSVPs.
Overall, the picnic planner app provides users with a comprehensive toolset for planning the perfect picnic, from the initial planning stages to the final execution.
N/A. Deployed site here!
Start by selecting the date, time, and location of your picnic. Give it a fun name like "Honey Pot Picnic," "Pic-a-Nic Basket Potluck," or "Campfire Cookout" ....or "Jessica's Graduation Party." Everything is up to you with Hey Boo-Boo.
The app also includes a guest invitation feature, where you can invite all your closest friends and family to join your "picnic" event. You can even track their RSVPs leading up to your picnic date by opening your event page and seeing their names displayed.
Every person attending has the option to let everyone know what they will be bringing in their picnic basket.
