Every event has a permanent link made of a long random address. A custom link is a second address you choose, readable enough to put on a sign or say out loud. Both open the same event.

Set a custom link
Tap the event's code at the top of the page, then Everything: the share panel that opens holds the QR code, the plain link, and, under A readable link, the Custom link field. Type your address after the /e/ prefix, or tap the suggestion Partyreel derives from the event name. It checks availability as you type and tells you whether the address is free or taken. Tap Save link.
The rules: lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens; between 3 and 50 characters; no hyphen at the start or end. A few words are reserved, and anything that looks like a permanent link's random address is refused.
Custom links are on every plan, the free plan included. The same control is offered on the Share step when you create an event.
What stays the same
The permanent link and the QR code never change. Printed codes stay valid whether you add, change, or remove a custom link, because the code always encodes the permanent address. The custom link is a convenience on top, not a replacement.
Change or remove a custom link
Change and Remove both ask you to confirm, and both come with the same warning: the current custom address stops working right away, with no redirect. Anyone who saved it needs the new one, and the freed address becomes available to any other event.
Deleting the event frees its custom link at once, for any other event to take. If you restore the event from Deleted, the link comes back with it while it's still free; if another event took it in the meantime, the event comes back on its permanent link alone, and you can pick a new custom link.
A custom link earns its keep under a QR code on a screen and in a spoken announcement; see print your QR code, or put it on a screen. If someone hits an old address, the QR code won't scan, or the link won't open explains what they saw.
Where a custom link earns its keep
Under a QR code on a screen, in a spoken announcement, and on printed invitations that go out before the event exists. Everywhere else, the copied permanent link is just as good.
