You’re invited!

A party definitely isn’t a party unless you invite some guests. Post your invite on your social media accounts, then keep track of who you’ve invited and who’s attending. And, if you’re in need of a plus one, this is the place to begin your search.

And this evening’s menu is...

No matter if you’re catering for vegans, carnivores and everyone else in between, there’s a food app to suit all tastes. With these picks, you can create checklists, experiment with new recipes or whip up classic favourites. But if it all gets too much, don’t be afraid to order in!

Entertainment for the little ones

These kids’ apps are the perfect entrée for a stress-free day and will keep them happily occupied while you wait for that sumptuous feast to be served. What’s more, they’ll be learning new things at the same time. Win win!

Easy ways to pay

Shopping for all your party necessities can be really straightforward if you use your iPhone to pay and order. Buying groceries, presents for your loved ones or that exquisite coat you’ve had your eye on is easy with Apple Pay.
