Guests
A guest list organized the way invitations are actually addressed.
Guests are tracked by household, not by name in a column — so the count, the address, and the envelope status all live in one record, ready for whoever asks for them next.
The record
One household, everything attached.
Instead of five versions of the same spreadsheet, there's a single record per household with the details your stationer, caterer, and venue will eventually need.
- Household name, guest count, and partner names in a single record
- Mailing address, email, and phone kept together
- Optional photos so you can put faces to names at the seating-chart stage
- Notes for dietary needs, travel, and anything worth remembering
Keeping it balanced
Who invited whom, tracked honestly.
Guest lists get political. Invited-by tracking keeps both sides visible so the conversation about the final count is about numbers, not memory.
- Invited-by tracking across both families and the two of you
- Running totals of households and total guests as the list moves
- Envelope-addressed and address-received status as you work through it
- Search across names, households, addresses, and invited-by
In and out
Bring the spreadsheet you already started.
You don't have to retype anything. Paste or upload what you have and the importer matches your columns to the right fields, however you labeled them.
- Bulk import with flexible column matching — "family", "group", and "household" all land in the same place
- Duplicate-aware import so a second pass doesn't double your list
- CSV export formatted for your stationer, caterer, or venue
