Guest list

A wedding guest list organiser that isn't a spreadsheet

WedBuild's guest list on a phone: 217 guests in parties, each showing who's attending, who has yet to reply and what's on file
RSVPs file themselves

Households, plus-ones, dietaries, addresses and RSVPs. One live list that your wedding website, seating chart and emails all read from.

Free for up to 50 guests, with every Pro tool for your first 7 days. No card needed.

Every wedding spreadsheet starts tidy and ends with seventeen columns, three conflicting copies and a tab called 'FINAL final v2'. WedBuild's guest list organiser gives every guest a proper home, with the details that actually matter on the day, and keeps one source of truth from first draft to final headcount.

And because it's the same list your RSVPs, seating chart and emails run on, updating it once updates everything.

How it fits together

The spine of the whole plan

Your guest list is where everything else begins: online RSVPs fill it in without you lifting a finger, and when the numbers firm up, the seating chart seats the same list. No re-typing, no reconciling copies. See all the wedding planning tools to trace the whole chain.

Up close

One list, doing the work of five.

WedBuild guest list with a guest details panel open: parties, per-event RSVP columns, categories and contact fields side by side

Build the list fast, together

Bulk-import from Excel or CSV, or quick-add guests as you think of them. Group couples, kids and households into parties so families are managed (and later seated) together, and tag guests by category (family, friends, work) so you can filter and email the right people later. You and your partner can plan from the same account on any device, and every change saves instantly.

Every detail on the guest, not in column Q

RSVP status per event, dietary requirements and meal choices, plus-ones, kids, contact details and mailing addresses. Even your own custom form questions appear as columns in the list view. Open any guest and everything about them is in one place, ready for the caterer, the celebrant or the thank-you cards.

Guest dashboard with attendance stats, contact collection and meal breakdown

Live numbers you can actually trust

The guest dashboard tracks acceptances, declines, dietary breakdowns and category splits as responses arrive, so 'how many are we at?' always has a current answer. Export to Excel whenever your venue or caterer asks for the list.

Guest approvals queue showing self-registered guests awaiting confirmation

No more chasing: RSVPs come to you

Guests respond through your free WedBuild wedding website and their answers land against the right guest automatically. Names you don't recognise wait in an approvals queue, so nothing sneaks onto the list without your say-so. And you can see who hasn't replied, then send them a friendly reminder email.

How it works

Three steps to a list that keeps itself.

  1. Import or add your first guests

    Bring in a spreadsheet in one go, or quick-add names as you think of them, grouped into households and categories from the start.

  2. Share your wedding website

    Guests RSVP online with meals, dietaries and your custom questions. Every answer files itself against the right person.

  3. Watch the list keep itself current

    Dashboard totals update as responses arrive, and your list is ready for seating, catering exports and thank-you cards.

Questions

Before you start your list.

How do I start a wedding guest list?

Start with immediate family and the people you can't imagine the day without, then work outward in rings until you hit your venue's ceiling. Our guest list guide below covers the method step by step. And once you have a rough draft, import it and let WedBuild keep it tidy from there.

Can both partners edit the list?

Yes. WedBuild lives in the browser, so you can both work on the list from the same account on a laptop or phone, and every change saves instantly to the one live list. No emailing spreadsheets back and forth.

Does the guest list connect to RSVPs?

Yes. RSVPs from your WedBuild wedding website land against each guest automatically, including per-event responses, meal choices and dietaries. New names submitted through guest self-entry wait in an approvals queue until you accept them.

Is there a guest list template?

You don't need one. The organiser replaces the spreadsheet, with households, categories, dietaries and RSVP tracking built in. If you'd rather start on paper, jot names down in rings (must-invite first, then work outward), and import the result from Excel or CSV in one go.
