What does Bring A Bottle mean?

"Bring A Bottle" is another term for a bottle party:
A bottle party is a celebration to which the (invited) guests bring their own (alcoholic) beverages. Often this refers only to spirits, while the host organizes water, juices, beer or wine. Depending on the type of celebration, the host will also provide snacks and possibly a buffet. Most of the time, the bottles brought are collected centrally and consumed by self-service. In this case it is usually frowned upon to hold back your own contribution or hoard drinks.

What is this page about?

With the help of this page it is possible to organize events together.

An organizer creates an event and defines the things that are needed. Then they send a link to friends and guests. They can open the page and pick items from the list to bring. That means you can easily plan your party without tedious email communication.

What kind of events is this application suitable for?

How can I get a lost administration link back?

There is a form with which you can request your administration link again. This will only take a few seconds.
Just visit the Get Adminlink page and enter your email address.

What will happen with this application in the future?

The new version is designed so that we can integrate new wishes and features faster. Our focus is on usability improvements: we are working on making the application even more intuitive and easier to use — so that creating and managing lists stays as straightforward as possible.

As a visitor of a list, I want to undo my entry. What can I do?

Since the application currently works without a user account, it is difficult to recognize a user again. Therefore, as a visitor you cannot undo your entry yourself. However, there is the possibility to contact the list administrator — this option must be enabled by the administrator when creating the list. If enabled, you can contact the administrator via the button 'Contact list administrator'.

How many items can a list contain?

A list can contain a maximum of 200 items. This limit ensures that lists remain clear and manageable. If you need more items, we recommend creating multiple lists — for example, organized by category.

How long is a list stored and accessible?

Lists are stored and remain accessible for 1 year. After that period, a list and all its entries are automatically deleted. We recommend saving your admin link in a safe place so you can manage your list at any time during that year.

Why is there no mobile app?

We deliberately decided against a native mobile app for iOS and Android. BringABottle is designed as a responsive web application that works great on any smartphone browser — no installation required. A native app would mean maintaining two additional codebases, going through app store review processes, and pushing updates to users. For something as lightweight and spontaneous as planning a party list, we think opening a link in the browser is the simpler and more convenient experience for everyone.
