Use the importer for a new list or a large batch of updates.
Prepare the file
Download the current template:
The importer accepts CSV and Excel files and lets you choose the worksheet. Useful columns include:
- First Name and Last Name
- Phone — a US or Canadian mobile number; optional for children and plus-ones
- Address, Apt/Unit, City, State, and ZIP
- Groups — separate multiple groups with commas
- Household or Party — use the same value for everyone sharing an invitation
- Plus Ones — creates unnamed party-member placeholders when supported by the row
Keep each person on a separate row. Do not combine two phone numbers in one cell.
Import the file
- Open the event dashboard and choose Guests.
- Choose Import CSV.
- Upload the CSV or Excel file.
- If prompted, choose the worksheet containing the guest list.
- Map each source column to the matching Text My Wedding field. Leave unrelated columns unmapped.
- Review the preview, especially phone numbers, households, groups, and possible duplicates.
- Complete the import and read the results before returning to Guests.
Understand the results
The result separates imported rows, duplicates, and rows that need correction. A missing phone number does not prevent a guest from being stored, but that guest will not receive texts. Fix invalid numbers in the source file or edit the guest after import.
When importing an export from another wedding tool, rely on the column-mapping screen rather than expecting its headings or worksheet name to be identical forever.
