Manage your events: switch, copy, archive, delete

All your events are in one list: the events ahead, past events and the ones you archived. From there you switch events, make a copy or archive one. Deleting an event is in its settings.

Your events list

  1. At the top of the menu on the left, click the name of the open event to switch to another event or create a new one.
  2. Choose All events to open the full list, My events.
  • Events ahead come first, then Past events, then the events you archived, under Archived.
  • On an event someone else owns, your role is shown: Co-host, Organiser or Viewer. Events you own show no role.
  • From five events on, a search box finds an event by its name, hosts, company or place.

There is no limit on the number of events, and one Premium covers every event you own.

Copy an event

Useful for a yearly event or a second celebration with the same people. Only the owner can copy an event. In the list, press the event's ⋯ button and choose:

  • Make a copy: a new event with the details, design, programme, to-do list, FAQ, hotels, menu and budget plan, but no guests.
  • Copy with guest list: the same, with your guest list as new invitations. Only names and contact details are copied, and nobody has replied yet.

Not copied: replies, photos, the cover photo, your own design, the company logo, the guest book, the seating plan, money already spent and the team. The copy is not published and gets its own new link, PIN and QR code.

A copy of an event still ahead keeps its date. A copy of an event that has passed moves to its next anniversary, the same day and time, and its tasks and programme parts move with it. You can change the date in Event settings.

Archive an event

Archive, in the same ⋯ menu, moves an event out of your list and into Archived. It changes nothing else: the link, the replies and the team stay as they are, and your team still sees the event in their own list. Move back to my events brings it back.

Delete an event

  1. Choose your event, then Event settings in the menu on the left.
  2. At the bottom, press Delete event.

The window first lists what will go: your guest list, the replies, your invitation link and any printed QR code, and your team's access. When any of that is at stake, you confirm by typing the word it shows.

  • Only the owner can delete an event. A team member can use Leave event instead.
  • Deleting cannot be undone. The guest list, replies, photos and plans are deleted, and the link and printed QR code stop working.
  • If your invitation is published, has guests and the event is still ahead, you can turn on Tell guests the event is cancelled. Everyone who received the invitation and has not declined gets an email, and guests who accepted also get a file that removes the event from their calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a deleted event back?

No, deleting cannot be undone. If you made a CSV backup beforehand, you can restore it as a new event in Back up & restore, with a paid subscription.

Does archiving hide the event from my partner?

No. Archiving only tidies your own list. Everyone else's list stays as it is, and the invitation keeps working.

Why can't I copy or delete an event?

Only the event's owner can. If someone invited you to the event, your role is shown next to it in the list.

Do I need a subscription for each event?

No. One Premium covers every event you own, with no limit on events or guests.
