Event planning in a content sharing platform

A computing device comprising:

• a memory that stores instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured by the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• capturing a media content item via a camera device of the computing device;
• displaying, on a user interface of the computing device, the captured media content item and a menu overlaid on the captured media content item, the menu comprising an interface element to add an event media overlay to the captured media content item;
• receiving a selection of the interface element to add the event media overlay to the captured media content item;
• receiving content to be added to the event media overlay, the content corresponding to an event initiated by a user of the computing device;
• adding to the event media overlay the content corresponding to the event to generate a custom event media overlay;
• automatically resizing the custom event media overlay from an original size to a resized custom event media overlay based on the content added to the event media overlay;
• displaying the resized custom event media overlay overlaid on the captured media content item;
• displaying a destination list comprising contacts for selection to send the resized custom event media overlay overlaid on the captured media content item;
• receiving a selection of at least one contact;
• and
• sending, to a second computing device associated the at least one contact, the resized custom event media overlay overlaid on the captured media content item.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by at least one processor to cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:

• capturing a media content item via a camera device of the computing device;
• displaying, on a user interface of the computing device, the captured media content item and a menu overlaid on the captured media content item, the menu comprising an interface element to add an event media overlay to the captured media content item;
• receiving a selection of the interface element to add the event media overlay to the captured media content item;
• receiving content to be added to the event media overlay, the content corresponding to an event initiated by a user of the computing device;
• adding to the event media overlay the content corresponding to the event to generate a custom event media overlay;
• automatically resizing the custom event media overlay from an original size to a resized custom event media overlay based on the content added to the event media overlay;
• displaying the resized custom event media overlay overlaid on the captured media content item;
• displaying a destination list comprising contacts for selection to send the resized custom event media overlay overlaid on the captured media content item;
• receiving a selection of at least one contact;
• and
• sending, to a second computing device associated the at least one contact, the resized custom event media overlay overlaid on the captured media content item.
