Create Your First Event

Create the event

1. From the dashboard, click Create event (or go to Events → Create event)
2. Fill in:
   • Event name — e.g. "Dave's Bucks Weekend"
   • Event type — Bucks party, Hens party, Group weekend, Birthday weekend, or Other
   • Location — optional but helpful for guests
   • Start date and End date
   • Description — optional overview shown to guests
3. Submit the form

New events are created as Active by default. You can switch to Draft later in event settings if you are still planning privately.

You land on the event overview with the setup guide — a checklist of steps to get ready.

Add activities

Activities are the itinerary — drinks, golf, boat day, accommodation, etc.

1. Open Activities in the event menu (or use Add activity from the overview)
2. Click Add activity
3. Fill in Activity name, Location, Start time, End time
4. Choose a Cost type:
   • Free — no charge
   • Fixed per attending guest — e.g. $50 per person marked Going
   • Total split by attending guests — e.g. $500 boat hire split equally among Going guests
5. Save

Repeat for each part of your weekend. Activities appear on a timeline for you and your guests.

Add guests

Adding a guest puts them on your list — nothing is sent automatically.

1. Open Guests → Add guest
2. Enter Name (required), Email, and Phone (optional)
3. Save

Guests start with status Invited. They become Joined when they open their invite link and complete the join form.

Mark guest of honour

If someone should be excluded from shared costs (the buck, hen, or birthday person):

1. Open the guest's profile
2. Enable Guest of honour

Shared payment splits can exclude the guest of honour automatically.

Next steps

• Review payments — activity costs generate payment splits when guests RSVP
• Add payment details — bank transfer / PayID instructions for guests
• Invite guests when you are ready
