Event Proposals

Overview

Event Proposals let you test an idea before committing to a scheduled event.

Instead of picking a time and hoping people can make it, you:

• Share the idea
• Gauge interest
• (Optionally) align on timing
• Convert it into a confirmed Event

Step 1: Propose an Idea

Create a proposal with:

• A title and description
• A minimum number of interested followers required

Followers can then express interest in the idea.

Step 2: Reach Interest Threshold

Once enough people show interest:

• The proposal moves forward
• You can proceed to scheduling

This ensures you only invest time in events people actually want.

Step 3: Timing Planning

You can enable a timing phase where interested followers:

• Vote on their preferred time options

You define:

• The time choices
• The minimum number of votes required

Step 4: Event Becomes Official

Once the timing threshold is met:

• The proposal becomes a scheduled Event
• Followers can RSVP as usual

Why Use Event Proposals?

Event Proposals reduce friction and increase success.

Benefits include:

• No guesswork

You know people are interested before planning

• Better timing

Let the group help decide when it works

• Higher participation

People are more likely to attend when they helped shape the event

• Less pressure on the host

You do not have to commit upfront

When to Use Event Proposals

Event Proposals are ideal when:

• You are unsure if people are available
• You want to avoid scheduling conflicts
• The event requires a minimum number of participants
• You want group input on timing

Examples

Poker Night

• Needs at least 5 players
• Proposal gathers interest first
• Group votes on the best night

Group Hike

• Host is not sure who is available
• Followers show interest
• Time is selected based on votes

Dinner Out

• Needs a minimum group size
• Timing depends on availability

Event Proposal vs Event

Event Proposal:

• Idea first
• Interest required
• Optional time voting
• Becomes an Event later

Event:

• Already scheduled
• Ready for RSVP

Best Practices

• Set a realistic interest threshold
• Keep the idea clear and appealing
• Use timing voting when schedules may vary
• Do not overcomplicate, simple proposals work best

Tips

• Use proposals for anything that requires coordination
• Great for recurring or group-dependent activities
• If you already know the time, you can skip the voting phase

Example Flow

You propose "Friday Poker Night" with a minimum of 5 people

Five followers show interest

You enable time voting (Friday vs Saturday)

Enough votes come in for Friday

The event becomes official

People RSVP

Summary

Event Proposals help turn ideas into real gatherings without the friction.

They allow you to:

• Test interest
• Align schedules
• Create better, more successful events
