A wedding guest list template is the single source of truth for who you are inviting, how to reach them, and whether they have replied. This free template gives you the six columns that actually matter - Name, Phone, Language, Party size, Side and Group - and nothing you will never fill in. Download it as a CSV and open it in Google Sheets, Excel or Numbers. Start from the four example rows to see how a family, a plus-one and a single friend each look, or grab the blank version and type your own. The columns are chosen so the sheet still works in month three, when you are chasing the last few replies. And because these are the exact headers Eventi’s importer reads, the same file you build here can be imported straight in to send the invitations on WhatsApp - no reformatting. wedding-guest-list.csv Name Phone Language Party size Side Group The Miller Family +1 512 555 0142 English 4 bride family Ethan Davis +1 512 555 0177 English 2 groom work Grace Lee +1 512 555 0163 English 1 shared friends Aunt Rachel and Uncle Sam +1 415 555 0198 English 2 bride family Download options Include the 4 example rowsBlank rows to addHeaders only (no example or blank rows) Your file will include the header row, 4 example rows, 15 blank rows to fill in. Download CSV Opens in Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers. ### What each column means Name Whatever you would write on the envelope. Keep it to one row per invitation, so a couple or a whole family shares a single line. Phone The mobile number in full international format, starting with the country code, so the WhatsApp invitation actually reaches them. Language The language the WhatsApp invitation arrives in. In the examples that is English or Hebrew, but you can set it per guest. Party size How many people the invitation covers. A family of four is 4, a guest with a plus-one is 2, a single friend is 1. Side Whose guest it is: bride, groom, or shared. Handy for balancing numbers and for seating later on. Group A loose bucket like family, friends, or work. It costs nothing to fill in now and makes the seating chart far easier later. ### Ready to send the invitations? When the list is ready, import this exact file into Eventi - names, phones and party sizes map automatically - and send the invitations on WhatsApp with one-tap RSVP buttons.

Fill in the Side column as you go - bride, groom, or shared - so you can see at a glance whether one side is quietly running away with the count. When that happens it is far easier to have the conversation early, over a sheet, than to cut names once invitations are printed. Keep one master file. The fastest way to lose a wedding guest list is to have three versions of it - one on your laptop, one your partner is editing, one a parent emailed back. Pick a single copy in Google Sheets or Excel, share that link, and make every change there. The Group column (family, friends, work) costs nothing to fill in now and saves you an evening later when you sit down to plan tables. ## Setting a plus-one policy you can actually hold The Party size column is where a plus-one policy lives. Decide the rule once - married and engaged couples get a 2, everyone else gets a 1 unless you know the partner - and apply it consistently down the column. Because Party size counts people rather than rows, your final headcount is simply the sum of that column, and you never have to guess whether a name means one person or four. Consistency is what makes the policy defensible. When someone asks why they did not get a plus-one, being able to point to a single rule you applied to everyone is far easier than defending a dozen individual judgment calls. Note the party size at invitation time, and let the RSVP step confirm the actual number of people coming. ## Tracking RSVPs against the list A spreadsheet is a great place to build the list. It is a worse place to track replies. The moment you add a Status column and start typing yes, no, and maybe by hand, you are back to chasing forty people over WhatsApp and copying their answers into cells one at a time. That works for twenty guests and quietly falls apart at a hundred and fifty. This is the point where the same file earns its keep. Import the finished list into Eventi and the invitation goes out on WhatsApp with one-tap Yes / No buttons, every reply lands against the right named guest, and reminders chase only the people who have not answered.
