How to Create Your Event Page
Creating your event page is the first step toward inviting guests, collecting RSVPs, or selling tickets. This guide walks you through the key components to set up a successful event.
1. Event Details
Event Name: Choose a clear and descriptive title for your event.
Date & Time: Set the accurate date and time to inform your guests. Be sure to select your time zone!
Location: Specify whether your event is in-person, virtual, or hybrid. Provide the necessary details accordingly.
2. Select Your Template
Select the type of page configuration you want for your event page. Once you get to the editor, you can add, move and delete any sections you'd like, so don't stress about this step too much. We just load some commonly used configurations here to get you started.
Looking to duplicate a past event? Select "From an Existing Event" at the bottom of the template screen and it will borrow the images and content from a past event to save you some time!
3. Edit Your Page
Banner: Upload a high-quality image that represents your event.
The size of the image scales to the amount of text you include in the banner.
This background image is what will show as the banner in your email invitation (without text on top of it).
Disabling the banner text and RSVP button will show your image at full size, unscaled.
We recommend an image 2080 pixels wide by 1090 pixels tall
If you're looking for images, we recommend using Unsplash and searching for landscape-oriented images that aren't too busy to read text on top of.
Upload your logo in this section if you'd like! You can turn on the logo field by scrolling down in the banner sidebar.
Page Content: Choose a design theme that aligns with your event's tone and branding.
Add sections by clicking through the different section types and adding them where needed.
Reorder sections up and down the page by dragging and dropping them in the left-hand menu.
Fonts & Colors
Choose your highlight and text colors in the Style tab. You can use your brand colors to make the page your own.
Choose a font combination that works for you. We don't offer custom fonts uploads at this time, but we offer a variety of great looking, easy to read fonts that work for a variety of brands.
4. RSVP Settings
Once your page is designed how you want, you can exit the page editor and start customizing your event settings.
RSVP Form: Decide what information you want to collect from guests.
Email Address are required so we can send email confirmation and so you have access to email the attendee if needed. Just one email address is collected for the reservation.
Add any free-form text fields at the top and even add a drop-down question if you need to.
Guest Limit: Set a maximum number of attendees if needed.
Attendee Limit - your RSVP form will close and not accept new responses once this number has been reached. You can change this at any time.
Allow Guests - Unchecking this disables the "Add Guest" button that is shown on the RSVP form.
Number of Additional Guests - After a person adds this number of guests, the 'Add Guest' button will disappear.
5. Ticketing (Optional)
If your event requires ticket sales:
Ticket Types: Define different ticket categories (e.g., General Admission, VIP).
Pricing: Set prices for each ticket type.
Quantity Limits: Limit the number of tickets available. Use this instead of the global Attendee Limit Setting
Proceeds - Event proceeds are sent three days after your event by check by default. ACH payments are also available and can be transferred any time during the ticket sales process! To get setup for ACH, please contact [email protected] with your request.
6. Privacy Settings
Our current privacy options are two-fold:
Search Engine Visibility: By default, your event won't be indexed by search engines. You can change this setting during publishing.
Passcode Protection: For subscription users, add a passcode to restrict access. Guests invited through our email system will bypass this requirement.
7. Preview and Publish
Preview your page and settings and make sure it's looking how you want. From there, you will Publish your event and start inviting people. You can come back and change these settings and the look of your page any time and republish them, so don't stress too much about getting everything perfect.
