Importing guests from a CSV file

The file

Go to Guests → Import CSV and download the template, or make your own. The first row must be the header, exactly:

party,greeting_name,tier,locale,seats,guest_name,email,phone

Then one row per guest. Rows that share the same party become one party; the greeting name, tone, language and seats are taken from the first row of that party.

• party — required. Your private name for the household.
• greeting_name — optional. What the invitation says.
• tier — elder or friend. Blank means friend.
• locale — en or vi. Blank means the invitation's default language.
• seats — 1 to 50. Blank means the number of names in the party (at least 1).
• guest_name, email, phone — optional named guests. A row with a party name and nothing else creates an empty party.

Saving from Excel or Google Sheets

The file must be UTF-8 so that Vietnamese names keep their marks. In Excel choose CSV UTF-8 when saving; Google Sheets and Numbers export UTF-8 by default. Up to 1 MB and 500 rows per import.

All or nothing

Every row is checked first. If any row has a problem you get a list with the row number and the field, and nothing is imported — fix the file and try again. Common causes: a party name that already exists in your list, seats outside 1–50, an email that is not an email, a total that would go over the 20-seat trial limit.

Export

Export CSV gives you the same columns plus each party's personal link, sent status and ceremonies — handy for a printed checklist or for sharing with the person helping you send.
