Everyone loves a good party, but rallying the troops to make sure a good time is enjoyed by one and all? That can be a pain, and Apple knows it. On Tuesday, the company introduced a new AI-powered app called Apple Invites to make it easier to get your dream guest list in order for any occasion.
The basic idea behind the tool is to bring together many capabilities from across Apple's ecosystem -- from photos, to music, to maps, to weather -- and use them to create and share invitations, while also operating as a kind of digital portal for your event.Â
Your guests will not only be able to RSVP to your custom invitation, but can contribute to a shared album during and after your gathering. You can even allow them to contribute to a shared Apple Music playlist for your party -- although we suggest using your discretion with this one.
It wouldn't be 2025 without AI playing a role in a new tool or feature, and so, of course, Apple Intelligence has been integrated into Apple Invites, too. You can use the built-in Image Playground to produce original images using your own concepts and descriptions, or even people from your photo library. Apple Intelligence Writing Tools will also help you phrase your invitation perfectly to convey exactly how sophisticated or raucous your soiree will be.
Some good news if you have an imminent event you're looking to organize -- like a Super Bowl party, for example -- Apple Invites is available immediately, either via the App Store or on the web. And even better, you don't need an Apple device or account to RSVP, meaning you have no excuse to leave your Android-user uncle off the invite list (which may in fact be bad news -- sorry if so).
