Organise your guest list
Search, filter and sort your guest list, give guests a group and a note, merge duplicates and select several guests at once. It works the same on the web and in the app, and it is free.

Search and filter
The search box above the list finds guests by name, email address, phone number, a companion's name or their group.
Above the list you can show one status at a time: All, Attending, Awaiting reply, Can’t make it, or Added manually for the guests you added or imported yourself. Waiting list appears when you use a waiting list.
Sort the list
- Click a column title, such as Name, Status, Party size or Replied, to sort by it. Click it again to reverse the order.
- Tap the arrows next to the search box and choose Latest reply first, Name (A–Z) or Status (attending first). Your choice is remembered on this phone.
Groups and notes
Open a guest from the list to give them a Group, such as "Bride's family" or "Colleagues", and Notes for yourself. The group shows on the guest's row and search finds it, so typing the group's name lists everyone in it. The seating plan uses groups to seat people together.
Duplicates
When two guests share an email address or a phone number, the list shows 2 possible duplicates. Press Review, then choose Merge or Not the same person. Merging keeps one row, sends nothing, and links already sent keep working. More in Add guests.
Select several guests
- Press Select above the list and tick the guests you want, or select every guest shown.
- Press Remove to take them off the list. With programme parts set to Invited only, you can also add them to a part or remove them from one.
- Touch and hold a guest's row, or tap Select above the list (with invited-only programme parts it is called Assign to a part). Then tick the guests you want.
- Tap Remove to take them off the list. With programme parts set to Invited only, you can also add them to a part or remove them from one.
Frequently asked questions
Can I split my guests into the bride's side and the groom's side?
Yes. Give each guest a group on their guest card, then search for the group's name to see only those guests.
Can guests see my notes?
No. Notes and groups are only visible to you and your team.
Can I change the reply of many guests at once?
No. Change one guest at a time with Edit guest.
