Event planning within social networks

A method, implemented at a computer system that includes one or more processors, the method comprising:

• identifying a first geographical location of a first computing device corresponding to a first invitee to an event, and identify a second geographical location of a second computing device corresponding to a second invitee to the event, based on geographical data received from each computing device;
• generating an event presentation user interface, including generating a first invitee presence indicator indicating that the first invitee is within a predetermined distance from a geographical location of the event based on the first geographical location of the first computing device, and generating a second invitee presence indicator indicating the second invitee is outside of the predetermined distance from the geographical location of the event based on the second geographical location of the second computing device;
• detecting that the second computing device has moved to a third geographical location that is within the predetermined distance from the geographical location of the event;
• and
• based at least on the second computing device having moved to the third geographical location:
• updating the second invitee presence indicator to indicate that the second invitee is within the predetermined distance from the geographical location of the event based on the third geographical location of the second computing device;
• and
• sending a notification to at least a third computing device indicating that the second invitee has arrived at the event.

A computer program product comprising one or more hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by one or more processors of a computer system to cause the computer system to perform at least the following:

• receive, from at least one of a first computing device corresponding to a first invitee to an event or a second computing device corresponding to a second invitee to the event, an event plan suggestion comprising the graphical location as a suggested geographical location for the event;
• associate the geographical location with the event based on the event plan suggestion;
• identify a first geographical location of the first computing device, and identify a second geographical location of the second computing device, based on geographical data received from each computing device;
• generate an event presentation user interface, including generating a first invitee presence indicator indicating that the first invitee is within a predetermined distance from a geographical location of the event based on the first geographical location of the first computing device, and generating a second invitee presence indicator indicating the second invitee is outside of the predetermined distance from the geographical location of the event based on the second geographical location of the second computing device;
• detect that the second computing device has moved to a third geographical location that is within the predetermined distance from the geographical location of the event;
• and
• based at least on the second computing device having moved to the third geographical location:
• update the second invitee presence indicator to indicate that the second invitee is within the predetermined distance from the geographical location of the event based on the third geographical location of the second computing device;
• and
• send a notification to at least a third computing device indicating that the second invitee has arrived at the event.
