Scattered group chats
RSVPs, payments and plans get buried in threads. Half the group misses important updates.
Private event planning
Plan the chaos.
Split the cost.
Keep it private.
Buxmate is a private event hub for bucks parties, hens parties and group weekends — with RSVPs, shared costs, updates and photos in one place.
The problem
Group events shouldn't feel like herding cats
One organiser ends up juggling spreadsheets, group chats, RSVPs, payments and updates across multiple tools. Buxmate keeps everything in one private place.
Spreadsheet chaos
Who paid what? Who's coming Saturday? Manually tracking a messy group weekend is a full-time job.
People who don't know each other
Bucks and hens weekends often mix friends from different circles. You need one clear hub, not awkward coordination.

Features
Everything organisers need, nothing they don't
Buxmate is not another social network. It's a private event operating system for people who actually have to run the weekend.
From your first guest invite to the last photo upload, Buxmate keeps organisers and guests on the same page — with a desktop command centre for you and a simple mobile hub for everyone else.
Your command centre for every event
See all your bucks, hens and group weekends in one place. Jump straight into the event that needs attention.
- Active, draft and archived events at a glance
- Quick access to create a new weekend hub
- One login for everything you organise
Lay out the weekend itinerary
Build a timeline of activities with times, locations and notes. Set costs per activity so payments stay in sync.
- Friday drinks through to Sunday recovery brunch
- RSVP counts visible per activity
- Free, per-person or split-by-attendance pricing
Guests, invites and honour badges
Add guests, track who's joined, and send private invite links. Mark the guest of honour so shared costs split fairly.
- Search and filter your guest list
- Joined vs invited status at a glance
- Guest of honour excluded from group gifts
Track who owes what — without awkward chasing
Add accommodation, transport and activity costs. See paid vs pending per guest and nudge the ones who haven't transferred yet.
- Overview of every payment item in one table
- Per-guest paid and pending amounts
- Bank transfer instructions for your group
Smart cost splitting before you save
Create a payment item and preview exactly how it splits across guests — including rules that exclude the guest of honour.
- Live allocation preview as you type
- Activity-linked or event-wide costs
- Group gifts that skip the person being celebrated
Announcements and photos in one private feed
Post pinned updates for the group and collect photos in a gallery only your guests can see — not a public social feed.
- Pin the important stuff to the top
- Email guests directly when you need to
- Upload and browse weekend photos together
Guest experience
Built for mates on their phones
Most guests won't create an account. They get a private link, see the plan, RSVP and check what they owe — all from mobile.
A personal invite link
Guests open their link, confirm their details, and they're in — no account signup required.
RSVP from their phone
Going, maybe, or not going — per activity, so you know who's in for golf vs Saturday night.
Their share of the costs
Activity fees and shared costs in one clear view, with your payment instructions attached.
Privacy-first
Built for private group events
Buxmate is designed around the idea that your bucks, hens or weekend away is nobody else's business.
Private by default
Events aren't public listings. Only people with an invite link can see your event.
Personal invite links
Each guest gets their own link. You control who's in and can revoke access anytime.
Photos stay private
Event photos are stored securely and only visible to people in your event.
No data selling
We don't sell your personal data. Payment tracking is for organising — not payments processing.
