Invite people to one event of a celebration
Put people on, or take them off, any event of the celebration straight from the grid, one at a time or many at once.
- Open any event of the celebration. In the sidebar, under "Whole celebration", choose "Guests · all events".
- Each event is a column. Tick a person's box in a column to invite them to that event, or untick it to take them off.
- For several people, tick the boxes at the start of their rows (or the one in the header for everyone shown). A bar appears at the bottom.
- Choose "Invite to" or "Remove from", then the event. It saves them one by one and counts as it goes.
- Taking off someone who already replied asks first, because their reply and meal choice for that event go with it. Someone whose only event it is stays on it; remove them from the celebration instead.
- This sets who is on each event. To send them their invitation, use "Send invitations".
You will need the event is part of a celebration first.
Add a host or staff member
Invite a host or staff member by email, phone, or both, with a personal note and the exact access you choose.
- Open the event and stay on the Details tab.
- On "People on this event", click Add to Event and pick the Host or Staff tab.
- Type their email, phone number, or name. Picking someone from your contacts fills in what Bazaar already knows about them.
- If you entered an email, "Also text them" appears underneath, and if you entered a phone number you get "Also email them". Fill it in and the invitation goes out on both.
- Open Permissions to choose what they can see and do. Hosts start with everything on, staff start with the schedule only.
- Open "Add a personal note" to write a line in your own words. It appears in their invitation email and text, above the button that takes them to the event.
- Click Send. Use Save and New instead to keep the modal open and invite the next person.
You will need an event exists first.
See and sign your vendors’ contracts
Every contract your vendors have raised for this event, with its current status, and a way straight into any that is waiting on you.
- Open the event and stay on Details, then scroll to the Contracts section.
- Each row is one vendor and the current state of their contract, written from your side: "Awaiting You" means it is waiting on your signature.
- Choose Sign on anything awaiting you. Signing opens on the web even from the app, because a signature is recorded with a timestamp and the device it came from, and that record is what makes it hold up later.
- Anything already signed opens read-only with both signatures on it, and "Download signed copy" saves the finished file. Just signed? It says "Preparing the signed copy" for a few seconds first.
- Hosts and owners see this, as do planner and coordinator admins. A vendor who is not one of those sees only their own contract: on the web in this section, with its menu (including Add Overtime once the event is over), and in the app in the Your contract card above.
- If you are both a host on this event and the vendor on one of these contracts, that row shows here too. It reads from your vendor side ("Awaiting Client", not "Awaiting You") and opens in the app, because on your own contract you are the counterparty rather than the client. It is the same document as the Your contract card.
- A contract a vendor has started but not finished does not appear here. There is nothing to read or sign until they send it.
You will need a vendor on this event has sent a contract first.
Add overtime after an event
After the event, enter how long it ran past the booked end. Bazaar prices it at the overtime rate in your contract and your client accepts it before it is invoiced.
- Overtime needs an overtime rate on the hourly offering the client booked, a fully signed contract, and an event that has ended.
- Open the event's details, find your contract under "Contracts", open its menu and choose "Add Overtime". Or open Billing, Contracts, click the contract and press "Overtime".
- Enter the hours and minutes past the booked end. The amount is worked out from the rate and billing increment frozen in your contract.
- Press "Send" and confirm the amount. Your client is notified and accepts or declines it on their Budget.
- While it waits you can withdraw it and send a different amount. If your client accepts, a separate invoice for the overtime goes to them; your contract and original invoice stay as they are.
You will need a signed contract on an hourly offering with an overtime rate, and the event has ended first.
Show an invite as a QR code
Turn an invite into a QR code someone can scan to join the event as a host, staff member or vendor, and download or share it as an image.
- Open the event, stay on Details and find People.
- Click "Add person" and choose the Host, Staff or Vendor tab.
- Under "Or share a link", click "Generate link", then "QR code".
- A link works for one person unless you turn on "Let anyone who scans join", which is what you want for a code shown to a room.
- Download the code to print it, share it, or copy the link.
You will need you can add people to the event first.
Change what someone can see and do
Decide person by person what each host, staff member and vendor can see and change, including handing out the menu or the floor plan on their own.
- Open the event and stay on Details, then find "People on this event".
- Click a person’s role label, the one under their name, to open their access.
- Each row is one thing they can do. Turn a row on to allow it, off to withhold it. Everything you leave alone follows what their role would normally get.
- Menu and Seating are their own rows, so a caterer can be given the menu without the guest list, and a photographer can be given the floor plan.
- "View menu" is service access, not read-only: it lets someone set a guest’s meal and mark them served, which is one job done by the people running service on the day. "Edit menu" is for building the menu itself.
- Turning an "Edit" row on turns its "View" row on with it, and turning a "View" row off turns its "Edit" row off. You cannot leave someone able to change something they cannot see.
- "View seating" needs "View guests", because the seating chart shows a name on every seat, so it is a second way of reading the guest list. A row that needs another one is grayed out and says which, rather than disappearing.
- Close the dialog to save. The change takes effect immediately, everywhere, including the app.
- A vendor team member who is not an admin of their business only ever sees what any participant sees, whatever you set here.
- If a vendor created this event and invited you, the budget became yours when you joined and they stopped seeing it. To give it back, click that business’s role label to open its access and turn on "View budget".
You will need someone else is on the event first.
Add a seat chart, guest cards or more guests
Every event is free for up to 100 guests. Add a seat chart, guest cards, more guests or Bazaar Agent one at a time, or all of them in one pass.
- Open the event. On Details, the "This event’s plan" row says what the event has now, like "Free plan", and how many guests and text credits it holds.
- Press "See what you can add" ("Add more" once you have something). It opens this event’s passes page.
- The Everything pass gives you the seat chart, guest cards and Bazaar Agent, with text and AI credits. Choose "How many guests?" and press "Get the pass".
- Need only one thing? Under "Or just what you need", buy the seat chart, guest cards, Bazaar Agent or more guests on their own.
- Already bought something for this event? The pass button becomes "Upgrade to N guests" and charges the difference.
- A locked feature says so where you use it: the seating tab offers "Add seat chart", and a guest list over its limit shows "Unlock more guests".
- Events created before passes launched keep everything they had.
- Only the event’s owner can buy for it. Everyone else sees who can.
- Selling tickets? Paid ticket holders never count toward the guest limit, only free tickets and guests you add. Past the limit, a free ticket is shown as sold out to anyone claiming it, and the ticket editor warns you when a free ticket's size could get there. On a ticketed event the plan sits under Guest list, in Capacity, instead of on Details.

Get the extras free by booking a Plus vendor
When a vendor on Bazaar Plus accepts your event, it gets the seat chart, guest cards, room for 300 guests and 250 text credits, free.
- Open the event, press "See what you can add" in the "This event’s plan" row, and find the "Book a vendor who includes it" card.
- Press "Find a vendor who includes it". The list shows only vendors whose booking includes these, with your event already attached.
- They carry the PLUS badge. Open one and inquire as usual.
- When that vendor accepts your event, the seat chart, guest cards, room for 300 guests and 250 text credits are added to it at no cost to you.
- The seating tab’s lock offers the same link, "Find a vendor who includes it".
