Creating an Event

Everything that goes into setting up your event — so you start with a page you're proud of.

The basics

When you click New Event, you'll fill in a short form. Here's what each field does:

• Event name — the title your guests see at the top of the invitation. Make it descriptive and personal (e.g. "Sophie's 30th" rather than "Birthday Party").
• Start date & time — when your celebration begins. This shows up prominently on the invitation.
• End date & time — optional, but helpful if guests need to plan travel or childcare.
• Location — a venue name, a full address, or "Online". Guests will see exactly what you enter here.

Your event page

The description field is your event page's heart. This is where you set the mood — share a little context, let guests know what to expect, or just write something that feels like you.

You can format your description using the text editor: bold, italic, bullet lists, and links all work. Keep it personal, not formal.

Your public link

Every event gets its own public link — something like yourdomain.com/e/my-event-name. Harmony generates this from your event name automatically, but you can edit it.

A good link is short and memorable. It appears in every invitation you send, so it's worth taking a moment to get it right.

Cover image

A cover image sits at the top of your event page and sets the visual tone. It shows up in the invitation too, so it's the first thing your guests see.

• Click Upload cover image on the create form.
• JPG and PNG files both work well.
• Landscape images (wider than tall) tend to look best.

You can always change the cover image later from your event's Appearance settings.

After you create

Once you hit Create Event, you'll land on your event's overview. From there you can:

• Add guests and send invitations
• Customise the look of your event page
• Add RSVP questions
