To get started, first sign up for a free Eventbrite account or log in to your existing Eventbrite account and create an event.

If you’d like to send email invitations for an already-created event, click My Events at the top of the screen and then click on the name of your event to go to that event's Manage page.

Click on Create Invitations, found on the features menu on the left side of your event's Manage page.

A preview is shown with the default invitation design, but you are free to customize from there!

Click Customize to change the color scheme, select which social sharing links to include in your invites, choose a salutation or enable the RSVP option. Click Edit Message to change the default text included below the Attend Event button.

You can also edit the Name of Sender, Reply-To email address and Subject Line of the email by clicking on the text next to each field.

Tip: If you're trying to match a color from another web page, check out ColorZilla, a handy Firefox add-on.

After you've perfected the design, now choose whom to invite. Click Add Guests and select the recipients from a variety of different options. You can:

- upload emails from a file (.csv or .txt);

- import emails from an email address book;

- import contacts from existing contact lists;

- create an email list from attendees of a past event;

- or manually add email addresses.

Note

Note: Make sure to list individual, rather than listserv, email addresses as recipients to your invitation.

Now select when you'd like to send your email invitation. You have four options: send immediately, send on a specific date/time, send on a date/time in relation to the event start date, or you can save the email invitation as a draft and don't send.

5

Once you've sent your email invitations, you'll be taken to the Manage Invitations page where you can view and manage any email invitations you have sent, including this one. Email invitations are saved here for easy viewing, copying, and editing.

Note

Note: Each recipient will receive an invitation to only their email address. They will not be able to view anyone else's email address. Click here to learn how to create contact lists for easier invitation sending.
