Create your first event

Creating an event takes a few minutes. You choose what kind of event it is, how guests will join, the name and date, and a design. You can change all of it later.

Create the event

1. Sign in and select Create event on your Dashboard or on My Events. If you don't have an account yet, you can start here and create your account at the end.
2. What are you planning? Choose the type that fits best, such as Wedding, Birthday or Conference, then select Continue.
3. How will people join? Choose Invitations & RSVP if guests should reply whether they can attend, or Open registration if anyone with your link signs up and every sign-up counts as attending. Select Continue.
4. Tell us the basics. Enter the Event name, Date and Time. Location is optional. Select Continue.
5. Give your event a look. Choose a design for the page guests see when they open your link.
6. Select Create event.

Your event opens on its Overview. New hosts see a short checklist at the top to help you check the invitation, share it and find replies. See Get your event ready: the checklist.

Changing things later

• To change the name, date, location or how people join, open the event and select Edit event.
• To change the design, open the event's Design tab. See Design your invitation.
• Your choice of Invitations & RSVP or Open registration is under Edit event → RSVP & guests (or Registration & guests) → How people join.

If something goes wrong

• If you see "We could not save your event. Please try again.", select Create event again. Your details stay in the form, and pressing it again won't create a second copy of the same event.
• Leaving part-way through? Your progress is saved in this browser for a few days. See Pick up where you left off.
• To stop without creating anything, select Cancel at the top of the page.
