Guest List Question

How did you guys organize your guest list? Did you use excel, word, a wedding website? I am so confused, I dont know how to do organize it.

Re: Guest List Question

We use excel but just a word of advice. After you make your list, make sure you have a hard copy in case your hard drive has a melt down.

Re: Guest List Question

I know, I am going to put it on a disk as well and e-mail it to my friend so she has a copy. I wanted to use the knot but I am scared something will happen, the website has been so hard to get on lately.

Re: Guest List Question

I used weddingchannel.com...very convenient.

Has a guest list, connects to a seperate address list. You can keep track of who you sent STD to, invitations to, who responded...and then convert it into a seating chart.

It's very cool.

Re: Guest List Question

i used excel, a spreadsheet for the groom list and one for the bride. I made seperate columns to have the addresses. This way I do a mail merge and set it up for printing envelopes. I sent it to my maid of honor, all she has to do is take out the guys names for my bridal shower

I also used weddingchannel.com, it's great. It does take the time to set it up, but it's worth it.

I agree. We used excel and our computer completely crashed.

Excel so that I could choose several ways to organize my list (alphabetically, save-the-date, invitation, a-list & b-list etc...)

Re: Guest List Question

Right now Excel, but I may put it up on WeddingChannel.com also to have a backup in case it crashes.

I had one list for the guest list and then a tab for another list for the shower.

Re: Guest List Question

Excel - I can sort it in different ways, columns for formal name, inner envelope name, address, STD, etc. etc., color coded it for his guests and mine. Different tab has my budget info. Got the sheet from my sister-in-law who got married two years ago. Works for me because I'm good with excel. When I update it I send a copy to work and save it there, as a backup.
