The downloadable CSV template is the most reliable way to build a list from scratch.
Fill in the template
- Keep the header row unchanged.
- Add one person per row.
- Use a US or Canadian phone number when that person should receive texts. Leave it blank for a child or plus-one who only needs to appear in the household and RSVP headcount.
- Give everyone sharing an invitation the same household or party value.
- Add comma-separated group names when a guest belongs to several audiences.
- Save or export the finished sheet as CSV or Excel.
Upload it
Open Guests → Import CSV, upload the file, map the columns, review the preview, and complete the import. The preview is the place to catch shifted columns, duplicate guests, or an accidental header row before records are created.
