A private cricket screening has a simple goal: get everyone together before the first ball. But a thumbs-up in the group chat can mean “sounds fun” or “save us three seats.” Ask for an attendance answer before you commit to the layout or refreshments.
Share a Mabrouk RSVP link alongside your match invitation. Invited guests can respond Yes, No or Maybe and include their headcount. You can check their submitted responses in one dashboard and spend less time piecing together separate chats.
Plan around the space you can actually offer
Start with the number of seats with a good view. If a sofa seats four and six chairs fit without blocking the way, plan around those ten places. Decide whether the invitation includes partners or children before sharing it. For a café screening, agree the reserved area and ordering arrangements with the venue first.
Use a separate Mabrouk event for each match you are hosting. Confirm the date and start time before sending the link, and say when you would like people to arrive. Share any change of timing directly with your invitees.
Send an invitation that asks for the whole party
Join us to watch [Match] on [Date] at [Venue]. Come from [Arrival Time] so everyone can settle before play. Please RSVP by [Reply Date]: [Mabrouk RSVP Link]. Include everyone coming with you who is covered by the invitation. Message [Host] if your plans change.
Guests can open the link from WhatsApp and reply in their browser without creating an account. Ask one person to respond for each invited party. If two friends are both invited and plan to arrive together, agree who will include whom so their replies do not overlap.
Count seats, then plan snacks
Suppose six Yes replies represent eight people and one Maybe covers two more. Plan around eight confirmed guests and decide how to handle the two possible places before offering spare chairs. Compare received responses with your original invite list if someone has yet to reply.
Once you have a reviewed count, check that everyone has a sightline and decide what can be put out in advance. Chai and snacks can be arranged separately from the attendance decision. Mabrouk provides a response record; your own process handles seating, access and any café charges.
