Practical Guide

This is how a Secret Santa session works in practice

The admin person creates the group, sets the occasion and budget and then enters the participants. You will then be invited via private links.

As soon as everyone is in, a fair draw can take place. Wish lists and exclusions ensure results fit the group better.

What Wichtlify does against typical Wichtel stress

Many problems arise from unclear rules, duplicate communication or late changes. This is exactly where the platform comes in with clear admin steps.

Thanks to central settings for exclusions, visibility of wish lists and notifications, the group remains stable even with larger groups.

From the drawing to a successful Secret Santa evening

Organize Secret Santa online stress-free: create a group, draw fairly, manage wish lists and exclusions.

New: Wichtlify Pro

More control for complex Secret Santa rounds

When groups become larger or short-term changes occur, Wichtlify Pro keeps larger or shifting groups easier to manage with steadier draws, fewer manual follow-ups, and clearer communication.

It also adds earlier warning signs, reusable setups, a group photo, and anonymous gift questions, so the round stays calmer to run.

FAQ

How do I start organizing Secret Santa online quickly?

Create the group, add participants, set rules and exclusions, then share private links so everyone can open their own result.

Do all participants need their own account?

In most groups, only the person organizing the group registers. Participants then use their personal link in the browser.

Can I set rules, budget and exclusions flexibly?

Yes. Set exclusions before the draw so blocked pairings are filtered out from the start.
