Event overlay invite messaging system

A server system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the server system to performing operations comprising:
• accessing, by a first computing device associated with a first user, a media content item;
• generating, by the first computing device, an event overlay interface for creating an event invite for sending to a second computing device associated with a second user;
• displaying, on a user interface of the first computing device, the event overlay interface as an overlay on top of the media content item;
• receiving, by the first computing device, user selection of an event overlay component via the event overlay interface;
• receiving, in response to receiving the user selection of the event overlay component, event information provided by the first user;
• automatically determining a venue suggestion based on a location of the first computing device and the event information;
• updating the event overlay component based on the event information and the venue suggestion;
• causing the updated event overlay component to be overlaid on top of the media content item;
• displaying the updated event overlay component and the media content item on the user interface of the first computing device;
• and
• transmitting, to the second computing device, the media content item overlaid with the updated event overlay component, for display on the second computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to performing operations comprising:

• accessing, by a first computing device associated with a first user, a media content item;
• generating, by the first computing device, an event overlay interface for creating an event invite for sending to a second computing device associated with a second user;
• displaying, on a user interface of the first computing device, the event overlay interface as an overlay on top of the media content item;
• receiving, by the first computing device, user selection of an event overlay component via the event overlay interface;
• receiving, in response to receiving the user selection of the event overlay component, event information provided by the first user;
• automatically determining a venue suggestion based on a location of the first computing device and the event information;
• updating the event overlay component based on the event information and the venue suggestion;
• causing the updated event overlay component to be overlaid on top of the media content item;
• displaying the updated event overlay component and the media content item on the user interface of the first computing device;
• and
• transmitting, to the second computing device, the media content item overlaid with the updated event overlay component, for display on the second computing device.
