My GuestsTutorial

My Contacts

To get started, simply click Add/Edit Parties and begin building your guest list. 

You can build your guest list one of two ways: importing Party information from a spreadsheet or by manually adding this information into your account. 

  • Guests are individuals who will be invited to one or more of your wedding-related events.  You may have multiple contacts per Party.
  • Think of a Party as all contacts you would include on one invitation.

 Events

You can now customize wedding-related events and compile a separate guest list for each one!  In addition to the Ceremony and Reception, you can also create your Bridal/Couples Shower or even your Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties!  Each event will even have its own seating chart that coordinates with your guest list.
