What is an event proposal?

An event proposal is a document that event planners use to compile plans and details for an upcoming event, which they then pitch to a prospective client. Whatever the occasion, you can quickly create event proposals that gain client trust.

Canva Docs makes it super easy for anyone to write an event proposal that clients will love. Our event proposal maker includes detailed templates and examples that you can customize to fit your event ideas. Draft event planning proposals for all kinds of events and make it visual. Whether it's a virtual or in-person event for music fans, product promotions, charity drives, or community sports, you can explore our design library for icons, images, and more so you can paint a picture of a successful event for your clients and put everyone on the same page. Then, share it online with your team and clients.

How to make an event proposal

  1. Launch Canva Docs
    Open Canva on your desktop or mobile device and search for Docs to start a new visual document.
  2. Choose an event proposal template
    Browse our sample event proposals to find the right Canva Docs template for your ideas. Find one depending on the nature of your event. Is it a music festival? An outdoor promotional activity for your latest product? Then, narrow it down by style, color, or theme.
  3. Write your event proposal
    Add crucial sections to your event proposal, like the event description, objective, and pricing information. Format your text as needed with headings, font options, and colors. Use Canva Graphs to make tables, charts, and diagrams. Or find anything you need quickly with /Magic commands.
  4. Visualize your event
    Bring your event to life starting with your proposal. Change the font style and color palette to apply your branding. Upload visual images related to your event: logos, pegs, moodboards, and mockups of products or booths. Experiment with layouts and add free stock photos and illustrations from our free media library. Have an image in mind? Try our Text to Image app and bring them to life.
  5. Share and collaborate
    Share the event proposal with your team for real-time or async collaboration. Leave comments, track progress, and polish details together.
