1. Create the event
Sign in, open Gatherings, choose Events and use the add button. Select the event type and add its name, date, time and location. You can return to edit details later.
2. Add or invite people
Choose people already in My People or send an invitation. The event keeps the participant list and RSVP state together, so the organiser can see the current attendance picture.
3. Check timing and practical needs
Review schedule conflicts before confirming plans. Connected Google or Microsoft Outlook calendars can contribute external commitments. Check location accessibility, dietary requirements, children, pets and transport where relevant.
4. Build Things To Do
Use Things To Do for activities, venues or ideas around the event. Keep accepted ideas with the gathering rather than losing links in chat.
5. Share the work
Use the event workspace for tasks and the Bring List. Give each item an owner so everyone can see what is covered and what still needs attention.
6. Coordinate gifts and messages
Use Gifts when the event includes a recipient or group gift. Use Chat for event conversation so decisions remain beside the current plan.
7. Keep the event current
Update the status as the plan moves forward and change the shared details when something important changes. Guests then return to one current event instead of comparing old messages.
