You import your guest list into Eventi from a CSV or Excel file - no need to retype names and phone numbers you already have in a spreadsheet from a previous event or a family member’s file.

## What gets imported

-   Name and phone number for each guest.
-   Party size, if your file has a headcount column.
-   Anything that looks like a phone number gets normalized and validated automatically.

## Before anything is saved

You get a preview of exactly what will be imported - which rows matched cleanly, and which ones need a second look (a missing phone number, for example). Nothing is written to your guest list until you confirm it. Once it’s in, you can stop maintaining that sheet by hand - see [what changes once tracking is automatic](/blog/wedding-rsvp-spreadsheet-vs-automatic-tracking).

## Frequently asked questions

### What file formats are supported?

### What happens to rows with missing or invalid phone numbers?

### Can I import more guests after I've already sent invitations?
