Managing Participants In An Event

How to Remove a Participant from a Gift Exchange
  1. Go to your Gift Exchange page
  2. Select the Participants tab on the web or tap on the Participants section in the iOS or Android apps
  3. On the web, click the delete icon next to the person's name you want to remove.
  4. On the apps, click the Remove button next to the person's name you want to remove.

Note, that Participants can only be removed before Drawing Names has started. Removing someone before names are drawn will also remove them from any draw restrictions.

Manually Or Automatically

Names are automatically drawn the morning after the sign-up/RSVP deadline. If you want to control when names are drawn you can choose to Draw Names Early instead.

How to Draw Names Early
  1. Go to your Gift Exchange page
  2. Select the About tab on the web or scroll down the page on iOS and Android apps
  3. Select the 'Draw Names Early' button when you are ready.

Note that anyone who has not RSVP's before choosing to Draw Names Early will not be included in the draw. If someone is left off the draw, currently the only way to include them would be to reinvite them in a new event.

Go To The Event Page

The easiest way to find out who you are gifting to is to login to Nice List and go to the event page.

  1. Select the Gift Exchange event from your My Events page.
  2. If you have not yet drawn your name click the 'Draw Name' button to reveal who you have drawn.
  3. On the web you will see a button in the middle of the page to view who you have drawn, click it to see the person's name and a link to their wishlist.
  4. For the apps, you will see a button at the top of the page to view who you have drawn, click it to see the person's name and a link to their wishlist.
