Add guests one by one

To add someone to your guest list, go to Guests and click Add guest. Only a first name is required. Everything else can wait until you know it. Adding guests is free, with no limit on how many.

Got a long list already? It’s faster to bring it in all at once. See import a CSV or paste from a spreadsheet.

What’s in More details

• Email and Phone: for your own records. We never contact your guests.
• Meal choice and Dietary notes: the meal suggests your wedding’s meal options as you type. See meals and dietary needs.
• Age: Adult, Child or Infant.
• Whose guest?: each partner’s side, Both sides or Other. See groups and sides.
• Plus-one of: links this guest to the person they’re coming with. See plus-ones.
• Notes and VIP: private notes, and a star for people who belong at the head table.

Edit a guest later

Click a guest’s name in the list, or choose ⋯Edit on their row. Their details open in a side panel. Make your changes and click Save.

The side panel has a few extras the Add guest form doesn’t:

• Table: seat them, and lock their seat.
• Invited with (household): keep a family or couple together.
• Relationships: who they must sit with, would like to sit with, or should be kept apart from.
• Seating needs: wheelchair space, near an exit, high chair and so on.

These seating controls save as soon as you change them. The fields at the top only save when you click Save.

Other quick actions

The ⋯ menu on each row also has Duplicate (handy for siblings who share most details), Mark VIP, Add a +1 and Delete. On a phone, tap a guest’s name to open their details.

Your guest list belongs to the wedding, so every seating plan in that wedding uses the same guests. Building the list from scratch? Our guide to making a wedding guest list walks you through it.
