Ever had the perfect party idea, but didn’t know how to get everyone organized? GroupMe can help! It’s not just for chatting. You can also create fun, easy-to-manage group events. Let’s break down the steps together.
Whether it’s a surprise birthday bash or a weekend hike, GroupMe’s event feature makes planning a breeze. With just a few taps, your friends will know the when, where, and what of your event.
Step 1: Open a Group
Table of Contents
Start by choosing the group where the event will take place. Already have a group with your friends? Great! If not:
- Open the GroupMe app
- Tap the “New Chat” icon
- Select “Start Group”
- Give it a fun name and add your friends
Tip: Use a unique name like “Team Taco Tuesday” or “Weekend Warriors.” It adds personality!
Step 2: Create Your Event
Now that your group is ready, it’s time to set things in motion. Here’s how to create your event:
- Tap the calendar icon inside your group chat
- Select “Create Event”
- Enter the event name (Make it catchy!)
- Add a date and time
- Pick a location (you can type it or use GPS)
- Write a description – give the details, or just say “Bring snacks!”
You’re almost there! Before you hit save, double-check everything. You don’t want people showing up at the wrong dog park, right?
Step 3: Send it Out
All set? Now tap “Create” or “Send”, and your event goes straight into the group chat.
Group members will see the invite pop up. No one can say, “Oops, I didn’t know!”
Step 4: Get Responses
This is the fun part—you get to see who’s in!
GroupMe lets members respond with:
- Yes
- No
- Maybe
As people reply, you’ll see a count of who’s attending. It’s like a mini RSVP party.
Step 5: Make Reminders
People forget. That’s life. But luckily, GroupMe lets you send reminders.
- Go into your event
- Tap “Send Reminder”
- All members get a friendly nudge at the top of the group chat
It’s like saying, “Hey pals, don’t forget our movie night!”
Bonus Fun Tips
- Add emojis to your event name 🎉🍕🎮
- Use polls in the group to vote on event ideas
- Post pics or GIFs to build hype
People love excitement. Make your event post the most clickable thing in the group!

In just a few taps, you can:
