What to put on a event flyer

  • Answer the five questions in order: what, when, where, how much, how to join.
  • Write the date with the weekday ("Sat, March 7"); people plan by weekday.
  • Use a QR code for sign-up links instead of printing long URLs.
  • Post it at eye level, 2–3 weeks before the event, and again a week before.

Event flyer questions

Questions people ask

What is the best size for an event flyer?

US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 for noticeboards, half letter or A5 for handing out. For a shop window or a lamp post, an 11 × 17 in poster is easier to read from a distance.

How do I create a flyer for an event?

Pick an event template above (or describe the event to the AI tab), change the headline to the event name, add the date with the weekday, the time, the venue and the price, then one way to sign up, ideally a QR code. Download a PNG to share online and a PDF to print.

Which free event flyer maker is best?

The one that lets you finish without paying or signing up. Here every template, the AI designer and the 300 DPI PNG and print-ready PDF downloads are free with no account and no watermark. Big design suites offer more stock photos but often lock print downloads or some templates behind an account or plan.

How far in advance should I put up event flyers?

Two to three weeks is typical for local events, with a refresh a few days before. Anything earlier tends to get covered up on shared boards.
