Create an Event

The event creation wizard walks organizers through the minimum setup required to launch a new event. It collects your event details, RSVP preferences, point-of-contact information, and plus-one settings before you create the event.

Tips & gotchas

  • Pick the event template early because it shapes the starting experience for the invitation.
  • If you plan to collect extra guest details, add those fields in the RSVP Information step before inviting anyone.
  • Use a shared point-of-contact email if more than one organizer monitors guest questions.
  • You can leave plus-ones off for now and adjust those rules later from Event Management if needed.
