We firmly believe that customizability is a must for planners so that you can spend less time planning and more time living the life you love. Our planners are completely customizable and have amazing features, including the ability to add custom events to your monthly calendar spread. Below is a step-by-step guide to creating and adding events to your planner.

STEP 1 - BUILD YOUR PLANNER

Select your planner size and begin building your planner in our Planner Builder. Design your cover, choose your planner layout, and add customization features. In Step 6, you will have the option to add your holidays and special dates when deciding on your monthly holiday options. First, select your start year and month and the number of months desired for your planner. Then, you can create your dates and add up to 3 holidays or events per date.

STEP 2 - ADD YOUR OWN DATES

Select the ‘add your own special dates’ option on Step 6 in our Planner Builder to create your dates. Name your event as you want it shown in your planner and select the date your event is on. These dates will appear on your monthly calendar view. You then have the option to choose whether this event repeats and how frequently. You can even add an end date if necessary. If you want the event saved to your profile to be reused in a future order, check the box below the event name. Once your event is created, click the ‘Add’ button to save it to your planner.
