Step 3) Start Date
Select the Start Date: This would be the Date you want your Day 1 template posts to begin posting on.
Select the Timezone you want your posts to follow.
For example: Let's say my template begins with a Day 1, 8am post. But my party guests are in a timezone 3 hours behind me. If I select their timezone here, it will post at 8am for them, but 11am my time. This will save you from having to manually update each post for each individual time zone.

Step 4) Template
Choose the template you want to schedule from the dropdown box provided. This will schedule all posts from that template to this party.
If you do not want any template posts scheduled to this party, un-check the "Copy Posts" option
Click Next Step
