Summer Event Email Template — Sunset Sessions
A warm summer event email template with a text-only sunset hero — violet-to-orange sky, an amber sun, and a cream outlined headline — plus when/where details, an RSVP button, and a themed footer.
The prompt
Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.
- An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
- A
[layout]step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links. - Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share nbt9wLyaUVfaAnHzfjcZ4 and rebrand. For the

The invite that makes people clear their Friday. A violet-to-orange sunset fills the hero, an amber sun rises behind a cream outlined headline, and the details land in two clean lines before a single RSVP button does the asking. Warm, unhurried, and impossible to scroll past — the email equivalent of golden hour.

- [layout] Retro-sunset hero — apply the
retro-sunsetlayout template on a600 × 360canvas. Set the sunset-sky gradient from violet#7c3aeddown to orange#f97316; keep the sun amber#fbbf24and the swoop underline cream#fff7ed. Outlined headline stays cream fill#fff7edwith a brown stroke#7c2d12— copy “SUNSET SESSIONS”. Cream subheading “An evening of music & light”. Cream pill with violet#7c3aedlabel “RSVP”. Text-only artwork — the working CTA is step 5. - [native] Intro copy — text. “As the days stretch long, we’re throwing open the doors for a series of golden-hour sessions — live music, local food, and the best view in the city.”
fontSize: 16, color#78716c, center,line-height: 1.6. - [native] When — text. Bold orange lead “When — ” (
#ea580c), then “Fridays at 6pm, all summer long.”fontSize: 15, color#1c1917, left,line-height: 1.7. - [native] Where — text. Bold orange lead “Where — ” (
#ea580c), then “The Rooftop, 12th & Main.”fontSize: 15, color#1c1917, left, tight top padding. - [native] CTA button — button. Label “RSVP for a session”, orange
#ea580cfill, white text, pill shape, center. - [native] Divider — hairline
#fed7aa,paddingTop: 24/paddingBottom: 24. Separates the invite from the sign-off — the flat model stacks and divides, it does not box. - [native] Closing line — text. “Bring a friend. Stay for the sunset.”
fontSize: 14, color#78716c, center. - [native] Footer — social + address. Recolor both to the palette:
social.color=#ea580c,address.color=#94a3b8,address.fontFamily="Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif. Without this they fall back to a generic brand-blue that clashes with the orange.
Make it yours
- Swap “SUNSET SESSIONS”, the subheading, and the when/where lines for your own event, time, and place.
- Recolor the sunset gradient to your brand — dusk blues, a pink-to-gold sky — keeping the cream outlined headline and single RSVP.
- Rewrite the closing line as your one warm reason to show up early or stay late.
