# Wedding Setup

> Create and configure a wedding event in Weddingkart.

Each wedding you manage in Weddingkart is its own self-contained event — with its own guest list, groups, announcements, and analytics. This page covers how to create and configure a wedding.

## Creating a new wedding

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Weddings">
    Open the Weddingkart app and go to the **Weddings** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Wedding">
    Tap **Create Wedding** to open the setup form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the wedding details">
    Complete the following fields:

    | Field            | Description                                                                       |
    | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Wedding Name** | A name to identify this wedding in your account (e.g. "Sharma–Kapoor Wedding").   |
    | **Groom name**   | First and last name of the groom.                                                 |
    | **Bride name**   | First and last name of the bride.                                                 |
    | **Wedding date** | The date of the wedding. Use `YYYY-MM-DD` format.                                 |
    | **Venue**        | The location where the wedding will be held.                                      |
    | **Hashtag**      | Optional. Helps guests share photos from the event (e.g. `#SharmaKapoorWedding`). |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. The wedding is created and you're taken to the wedding dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Editing wedding details

You can update any wedding detail after it's been created.

1. Go to the **Weddings** list and select the wedding you want to edit.
2. Click **Edit**.
3. Update the fields you need to change and save.

## Managing multiple weddings

Weddingkart is built for event managers who run several weddings at once. You can create as many weddings as you need from a single account.

To switch between weddings, go to the **Weddings** list and tap the wedding you want to work on. Each wedding is completely separate — guest lists, groups, announcements, and analytics do not overlap between weddings.

## Wedding lifecycle

<Info>
  You can create a wedding up to 6 months before the wedding date. The wedding stays active during the event period and for 10 days after the wedding date. After that 10-day window, the wedding is archived and you can no longer send messages to guests for that event.
</Info>

## Next steps

With your wedding created, you're ready to set up the rest of the event:
