My friends and I had the exact problem. We used to (host and attend) parties all the time.

In my experience it’s because: Covid decimated any chance of gatherings for 2 years. It caused all of our friends to be paranoid. People started getting older and it was hard to communicate with everyone. Platform fragmentation. Some people use SMS or messenger exclusively and no one uses facebook events anymore.

We actually started to try and use different apps, partiful, evite etc… We found the UX to be a challenge to interact with and no one wanted to use them.

So we built our own event planning app that tries to solve these problems: https://dateit.io/
