How To Add Guest List On The Knot

Organizing your wedding guest list and making sure absolutely everyone is invited can be an overwhelming task - especially if you're expecting a large amount of people at your event. This is why keeping a guest list on The Knot can be a lifesaver! With The Knot, you can easily upload, edit, and manage your wedding guest list - making sure you don't forget anyone! Here's how it's done!

Step 1: Organize Your Guests

The first step to import your guests into the The Knot is to organize them. You can do this by creating a spreadsheet with a column for headcount, titles, full names, any accompanying plus ones, and more. This will take some time as you want your guest list to be as accurate as possible, but getting organized in the beginning will mean (much) less stress in the end.

Be sure to also include any dietary restrictions guests might have, as some venues might have to accommodate for them. This is also helpful to be aware of when planning food menus and other special requests a guest might have. Although it's time consuming, it's important to know all of this prior to adding them onto your list.

Step 2: Upload and Categorize Your Guests

Once you're organized and have all the info you need, it's time to upload it onto The Knot. On The Knot, click on the guest list tab and then click the “Import Guests" button. The Knot then gives you the option to upload your list from a file, type it in manually, or copy and paste it from a Google spreadsheet.

Once your list is imported, it will appear unsorted. To organize it, click on the “Group & Sort" tab on the right side of the screen. You can sort your list based on categories such as headcount, name, plus one, etc. Or you can also create your own custom sorting categories.

Step 3: Enter Your Responses

After your guests are sorted, it's time to start entering their responses. You can manually adjust the response status of each guest on the right side of the screen, or click the “Check All" button to mark them all a “yes." Don't forget to click “Save" after doing so!

Step 4: Customize Your List

Once all your guests are sorted and their responses are in, you can personalize your list! With The Knot, you can customize your list with color-coded notes, add images to give it a more personal touch, print it out, and more. You can also set up reminders to follow up with guests who have yet to respond, as well as other tasks that need to be accomplished for your big day.

Step 5: Share Your List with Everyone Involved

Finally, you can share your guest list with vendors and your wedding party using The Knot's share list feature. This allows you to securely share your list with anyone who needs access to it. You can also set up multiple lists and limit the access of each one.

Conclusion

Overall, there is a lot that goes into making sure your wedding guests are properly accounted for and welcomed. Fortunately, The Knot makes it easier with their powerful tools and features that help you take the stress out of organizing a wedding guest list.
