Getting started

Choose and use an event template

Start from a template when your event fits a familiar format and you want a reliable structure before customizing the details.

Audience

Hosts who want to create an event quickly without starting from a blank page.

User need

I want to use a template, but I am not sure which one to choose or what I still need to edit.

Use a template when the format is already clear

Templates are best when you already know the kind of event you want to run: a workshop, tasting, salon, class, walk, meetup, family session, or small social gathering.

The template gives you a page structure, sample language, agenda shape, registration defaults, and category context. Your job is to replace the generic parts with the real promise, real logistics, and real host voice.

Start from a template

1

Open Templates

Browse the template gallery and use categories or collections to narrow the list to the kind of experience you want to host.

2

Choose by format

Pick the template that matches what attendees will actually do. A pottery class and a craft market both belong near crafts, but they need different page structure.

3

Create your draft

Use the template to create an editable event draft. The draft should keep the useful structure while letting you change the specifics.

4

Replace placeholder details

Edit title, date, time, location, capacity, price, materials, accessibility notes, refund or cancellation notes, and registration questions.

5

Preview before publishing

Read the public page as an attendee. If anything still sounds generic, rewrite it before sharing the link.

Template or AI from scratch

Starting point
Use it when
Template
The event fits a known format and you want structure quickly.
AI from scratch
Your idea is unusual, highly personal, or easier to explain in a sentence than to find in the gallery.
Manual editing
The event is already drafted and you only need to fix logistics, wording, or registration settings.

Customize before publishing

Title describes your actual event, not the template category.

Audience and skill level are clear.

Date, timezone, and location are correct.

Capacity matches the venue, materials, or host bandwidth.

Agenda fits the real event length.

Registration questions collect only what you need.

Any price, included materials, or attendee requirements are accurate.

The page sounds like your event, not a sample.

Template rule

A template should reduce blank-page work. It should not replace the details that make attendees trust your specific event.

FAQ

Should I choose the exact matching template or the closest one?

Choose the closest useful structure. You can edit the title, copy, agenda, category, and registration details after creating the draft.

Can I use a template and still ask AI to improve the page?

Yes. Use the template for structure, then use AI or manual editing to refine the copy and details.

What if no template fits my idea?

Use AI from scratch and describe the event in your own words. You can still borrow ideas from templates later.
