Import your list from Excel

If your list is already in a spreadsheet, you don't need to type it again. The import reads four columns: Name, Email, Group and Category. Only the name is required.

1. 1

   Open the import

   In Guests, press Import from Excel at the top.

2. 2

   Paste the list

   In Excel or Google Sheets, select the rows (with the headings, if you have them), copy and paste them into Paste the list here. You can also press Choose a CSV file.

   

3. 3

   Check the columns

   In Check the columns, each column has a choice above it: Name, Email, Group, Category or Ignore. We guess from the headings. Change anything that's wrong, and untick The first row is headings if your list has no headings.

4. 4

   See the result and import

   The What will happen box says how many people and invitations will be added and how many already existed. If it's right, press Import. The button shows the number of invitations.

Families on one invitation

People with the same value in the Group column (for example, Silva family) go on the same invitation. A column titled Invitation or Family also counts as the group. A person with no group gets an invitation of their own.

Good to know

• Nothing is sent to guests.
• Up to 1,000 rows at a time. If you have more, import the rest afterwards.
• Rows with no name are left out, and we tell you which ones.
• You can import the same list again without creating duplicates. An invitation that already exists (with the same email, or with no email and the same name) is left as it is.
• A CSV file can be up to 2 MB.
