Celebrating in Chicago
How Payton grads do the party
Graduation season in Chicago, IL is one long wave of overlapping parties — these are the patterns that work when everyone you know is invited to everything.
The whole-family group text
Grandparents, out-of-state aunts, the neighbor who watched you grow up — one link in one text reaches the people an announcement card can't. They RSVP like everyone else, and they see the photos first.
The senior + friends group page
Going in on one venue with three friends? Each grad gets their own page on the same link-for.us account — same party, four announcement cards, four RSVP lists, zero spreadsheet diplomacy.
The ceremony-to-party chain
Guests leave the graduation with your link already in hand: where to park, what time the party starts, the address pinned at the top. One page carries them from the last row of the ceremony to the first toast.

How the hub works
Your page is the invitation. The hub is the bulletin board.
01
Build your page in an evening
Ceremony details, the party, a photo, your story. One link — linkfor.us/your-name — that works in a text just as well as on the announcement card.
02
Drop it in the class group chat
WhatsApp, GroupMe, iMessage, Instagram — wherever your class actually lives. Guests open the link and RSVP with no account, no download, no form fatigue.
03
Find your classmates here
Published pages from your school show up on this hub. May is dense — everyone graduating the same month means every page recruits the next one.

Questions
Everything else you’re wondering
Can my whole class use Payton hubs on linkfor.us?+
Yes — that's the point of this page. Every Class of 2027 graduation page published from Walter Payton College Preparatory High School will land on this hub, so your classmates can find each other's parties in one place. Your own page is still fully yours: your link, your guest list, your photos.
Do my guests need an account to RSVP?+
Never. They open your link, tap attending, done. Every account wall you remove is more RSVPs you actually get — and for a graduation, that's grandparents and old teachers too.
What about Walter Payton College Preparatory High School's official graduation site?+
The school site covers the graduation; your page covers the rest — your party, your people, your photos. One link on the announcement card points at everything your guests actually need.
Is there really no subscription?+
Really. There's no subscription — you pay once, and your paid page includes hosting for at least two years from the party date. We email you long before anything ever changes, and we never delete your page outright.
Who can see my page?+
You decide. Add a guest password, keep it out of search engines, or share the link publicly — changeable anytime from your dashboard.
What do guests actually do to RSVP?+
Open the link, tap attending, add their name and headcount, done — no account, no download. That matters most for the grandparents and old teachers your parents invited.
Does my page disappear after 2027?+
No — you pay once and it stays up. The party page quietly becomes the album: the photos, the guest list, the story of the day, still there when nostalgia hits next spring.
Is there a guest limit?+
The free Starter page covers up to 20 RSVPs — plenty for the backyard party. Expecting the whole class? The one-time Celebration upgrade unlocks unlimited RSVPs and guest photo uploads.
