Guest ETA lets guests share their real-time location as they travel to your event. You see everyone on a map with their estimated arrival time — no more “how far away are you?” messages.
Guest ETA requires a venue address to be set on the event. Make sure your event has a location before sharing the ETA feature with guests.

​
How it works

For guests: When they’re on their way, guests open the event and tap Share My Location. FastParty tracks their journey and shares their live location and ETA with the host. Guests can stop sharing at any time. For hosts: Open the Live Location view from the event dashboard to see a map showing all guests who have shared their location. Each guest appears as a pin with their name and estimated arrival time.

​
Using Guest ETA

1

Set your venue address

Make sure your event has a full venue address, not just a name. This is required for ETA calculations.
2

Guests share their location

On the day of the event, guests tap the location-sharing option from their invitation link. No app install required.
3

Watch arrivals in real time

Open the Live Location view from your event dashboard to see who’s on their way and when to expect them.

​
Privacy

Location sharing is always opt-in. Guests choose when to start and stop sharing. The host can see their location only while they’ve opted in — once a guest stops sharing or arrives, their live pin is removed from the map.
Guest ETA is especially useful for events where timing matters — dinner parties where you’re cooking, activities with a strict start time, or any gathering where you need a heads-up to get things ready.
