Step-by-Step Guide

Guide: how to organise a Secret Santa

From a simple invitation to a complete gift exchange, in four clear steps.

How do you organise an event with Wish2Share?

Step 1: Create the event

Start by creating a new event. Choose a clear name and set the date and time.

Step 2: Set the details

Set the budget per person and define the rules for the gift exchange, so everything is clear for everyone.

Step 3: Manage participants

Add participants, track who has signed up and easily edit participants when needed.

Step 4: Start the name draw

Pick at least 3 registered participants and start the draw. The system assigns matches fairly, and everyone then draws their own name on Wish2Share.

Get started

See the overview at Organise Secret Santa & events or go straight to the Secret Santa generator. Ask participants to make a Secret Santa wishlist too.
