I already have my guest list in a spreadsheet. Can I just upload that?
Yes! With the following headers in Row 1 and all of the content on one tab, you can upload your XLS or CSV guest list directly within Guest Management.
Header Titles:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Greeting - This is optional! Use this to choose how your guests will be greeted in email communications (eg, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, The Smith Family, John, Jane and the kids, etc)
- Email Address - Required if you are using guest identification by email. It is optional if using guest identification by first and last name.
- Guest Type - You can leave the cell blank if the guest is of the type "Individual" or "Individual with +1s". (Or if you prefer, you can put "Individual" in the cell). For the "Couple/Family/Group", put the text "Group" inside the cell.
- # of Plus Ones
- Plus One Name
- Plus One Email
- Plus Two Name ...and so on depending on how many you have
- Plus 2 Email
- Event 1 (Event Name) - Please note that these parentheses are required around the event name. Please put the name of the event in parenthesis as it corresponds with the events on your site. For example, if the first event on your website's schedule is a rehearsal dinner, the title of that column should be: "Event 1 (Rehearsal Dinner)"
- Event 2 (Event Name) ...and so on depending on how many you have
Under the event column, put a "Y" (for yes) or "N" (for no) to indicate if that guest is invited to the event or not.
**If any # of plus ones, invitee name, or event fields are left blank, the list will not upload.
Your spreadsheet should look something like this:
You can upload the finished file yourself by clicking on "Guest Management" in your editor menu, and then the "Guest List" tab. You'll see an "Upload List" button that can be used to upload your file to the website. You can either add to the list that's already there, or replace it completely.
If you run into any issues, just email us the file at help@rileygrey.com and we'll take a look.
