Making the secret friend's draw online is a useful option for people who can't meet to do it in person. To do this, just use the Amigo Secreto website, an online and free platform that allows you to create groups for hidden friend get-togethers, invite people and hold sweepstakes online. It works like this: the person in charge of organizing the event creates an account on the website and sends the invitations. Registered as an administrator, she will be responsible for accepting the participants and carrying out the draw online on the date defined during the creation of the group. Then, the tool sends the result by e-mail to each participant.
