How to Use Secret Santa Generator - Step by Step Guide

1

Create Your Secret Santa Event

Start by filling in your details as the organizer. Enter your name, email, event name, optional date, and budget. This takes less than a minute to set up.

2

Add Participants in Pairs

Add all participants with their names and emails. Participants must be added in pairs (2, 4, 6, 8...) to ensure everyone gets a match. You need at least 2 participants to start.

3

Share the Invite Link

Copy and share the unique invite link with all participants via email, messaging apps, or social media. They can use this link to access the event and add their wish lists.

4

Build Wish Lists

Each participant can add items to their wish list. They can edit their wish lists anytime before names are drawn. This helps Secret Santas choose the perfect gift.

5

Draw Names Securely

When everyone is ready, click 'Draw Names' to randomly assign Secret Santas. Our algorithm ensures fair distribution - no one gets themselves! This action cannot be undone, so make sure everyone has joined.

6

Receive Access Codes

After drawing, you'll receive unique 6-character access codes for each participant. These codes are essential for viewing assignments - keep them safe!

7

Share Access Codes Privately

Share each participant's access code privately via email, text message, or private message. Each person needs both their email and unique code to view their assignment securely.

8

View Assignments

Each participant enters their email and access code on the event page to view their assignment. They'll see who they're buying for and can access their wish list for gift ideas.

9

Privacy & Security

Only the correct email + access code combination reveals the assignment. This ensures complete privacy - participants cannot view others' assignments, making the Secret Santa experience authentic and secure.
