Event Templates
The Event Templates page stores reusable starting setups for future events. A template can hold the structure your team commonly prepares, such as event flowers, tasks, recipes, pricing, payment definitions, contract content, and proposal content.
For example, a wedding florist could keep a reusable template with a task plan, proposal sections, standard recipes, and a payment schedule. When a new event is created from that template, FlowerBuddy creates a separate event record with that starting content. Editing the saved template later does not update events that already used it.
The library separates reusable event setups from reusable recipes and reusable messages. Use the Event Templates tab for a whole event setup, Recipe Templates for individual floral designs, and Email Templates for prepared messages. The event template library below shows the available actions for each saved template.
Event template library
Use New Template to create reusable setup, or use a row's action controls to create an event from a template, edit the template, or delete it. The template name opens the same editor as Edit Template.
An event template is different from an ordinary event. It is not a client record, does not represent a booked status or payment history, and does not have event-specific contacts, timeline work, files, or production tabs. Its purpose is to supply a starting setup that can be reviewed for each new event.
Create an event template explains the creation choices. Create an event from a template explains how to use one for a new event. Edit and delete event templates covers the row actions.
The other tabs have their own editors and choices. Open Recipe Templates to manage reusable floral designs, or Email Templates to prepare reusable messages and their variables.
Event Template editor
Open a template name or select Edit Template to prepare the saved setup. The editor uses the Event Page layout, but its tabs and Details sections are narrowed to reusable content. Start with the Event Template editor to understand what belongs there.
Applying a template to an existing event is a separate action owned by Event Page > Details. It gives you section-by-section Add, Replace, and Keep existing choices for that one event. It does not create a continuing connection to the saved template.
