Before you start
Gather the basics: the event title, a date (or a date range), a location, and your guest list if you already have one. Nothing is set in stone — everything stays editable after publishing, so you can start even with partial details.
Step 1 — Create your account and page
- Go to the sign-up page and create a free account (email or Google).
- Click Create an event.
- Fill in the title, the start date (and end date if needed) and the location type: in person with an address, or online.
- Confirm: your event page is generated with its own shareable web address.
Tip: a clear title and a visible date reassure guests at first glance.
Step 2 — Pick a theme and customize
Evento offers four visual themes: Classic, Modern, Festive and Elegant. Choose the one that fits the mood, then tune the colors to match your style. Add a photo gallery (your own images or an Unsplash selection) to set the tone. No technical skills needed — it's all visual.
Step 3 — Build the program as stages
The heart of an Evento event is its stages. Each stage is one moment, with its own date, time and address.
- Add a stage for every highlight (welcome, dinner, activity, party…).
- Enter the address: it appears geolocated on the public page.
- Want a surprise effect? Mark a stage as hidden and schedule its reveal date: guests discover it when the time comes.
You can reorder, edit or hide stages at any time.
Step 4 — Add your guests
From the participants dashboard:
- Add guests one by one, or import a CSV file for a long list.
- Assign roles if needed.
- Track statuses live: confirmed, pending or declined.
Step 5 — Public or private: manage access
- Public: the page is open to anyone with the link (and indexable if you enable it).
- Private: turn on an access code. Without the code, neither the exact address nor the protected content is shown.
Choose based on how sensitive your event is.
Step 6 — Share the link and track replies
Copy your event address and send it by text, WhatsApp, email or social media. Guests open the page without installing anything. Then head back to your dashboard to:
- follow confirmations in real time,
- check the page's view statistics,
- nudge guests or round out the program as needed.
Take it further
Add useful links to your page: a money pot, a Tricount to split costs, a gift list or a downloadable brochure. Finally, install Evento as a PWA on your phone to manage your event even offline.
