Guest List

My sister (who I can't get in touch with right now because she is on her way home from work and I'm too impatient to wait) had a really great spreadsheet with her guest list on it. She had little abbreviations for basically why they were being invited. I think one was BF = Bride's Family, etc. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can help me? I don't want to reinvent the wheel, I just want to get this done!!
Thanks,
Kimberly

hmm no sorry. i made myown list in excel and i just have them color coded like blue is for johns family, pink is for mine, orange is for work people and green is for other friends

---

yup.. i color coded too

I love the color code idea.
I'm usually very good with this kind of stuff but I had such a stressful day at work, I'm really shot.

you girls are so orgainzed and put me to shame so far my list is just hand writen ones from grandma and mom. FH is still slacking.

I made my own. Not color-coded (for once) but it does have filters. I'll FM it to you.

i set up a spreadsheet on excel. i am extremely crazy when it comes to these type of things. the first page has our lists. we currently have 2 lists, one has 130 people the other has 110 people. we only guaranteed 110 & would like to stay with that number.

the second page has the table set ups. once again done twice since we have 2 lists.

the third page has the mailing information. (since we mail christmas cards every year i already had this in access so i copied & pasted.) this page also tells me if its my family or his family, my friends or his friends & who is in the bridal party. (i really didn't need this info because i know but when i give the list to my sister for the shower she may want to know this info.

lol. i think its a little crazy & completely shows off my obsessive complusiveness but its easier for when my mom wants to look at it.

i also forgot to mention that i have a sheet for our registry.

i will list all our items, if we received them, who gave it to us & if a thank you was sent out.

EXCEL!! That is how I am creating my list. I did something similar as your sister. I have a column where I list B(ride) or G(room) or BG(both), to indicate which friend /family belongs to whom. Also, you can create different worksheets to have for example Guest List A, Guest List B, etc.

If you don't have Excel, you can do an online version on Google Documents. It saves it for you online and you can access it from any computer. The only downside about Google Docs is that I find some of the actions you do are a bit slower than Excel, but it does about the same thing.

Mine is similar, but it's all on one sheet. My columns consist of:

Title
First Name
Last Name
Guest First Name
Guest Last Name
Bride/Groom/Friends (relation)
Address 1
Address 2
City
State
Zip
E-Party invite
E-Party RSVP
Engagement gift
Engagement gift thank you
Save the Date
Wedding invite
Wedding RSVP
Wedding gift
Wedding thank you

Then I have a second sheet for the bridal shower set up similarly that I can give my mom and sisters.

BUMP for FM. Need spreadsheets.
