Setting Up Your Event Countdown
Updated over a week ago

Tick, tock, tick, tock. The countdown is on! You've got your dream event on the horizon, and now you want to make sure nobody shows up fashionably late. After all, who can resist being on time when they know exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds stand between them and the event of a lifetime?

By default, it counts down to your Date set in Event Settings, with a 12:00 AM time. But you can customize it for specific events, like the ceremony, cake cutting, reception, after-party shenanigans, or whatever floats your boat.

How to customize

  • Click the "Menu" button on the admin dashboard, then "Event Settings."

  • Select the "Website" tab and scroll to the bottom of the page.

  • Spot the "Display event countdown" and toggle the switch on or off.

    • If you're showing the countdown, make sure your date is visible on the site. The countdown won't show if the date is hidden.

  • Click the tiny arrow next to the countdown, and you can handpick a particular event from your Schedule Page to set your countdown towards.

So, there you have it, a simple yet powerful way to keep the excitement buzzing and ensure everyone arrives fashionably early.
