How to manage a wedding guest list

From an empty table to a list you can hand to the venue, without writing a single formula.

  1. 1

    Add guests

    Click "Add guest" and enter names, one row per guest.

  2. 2

    Fill in details

    Set side, group, party size, phone and notes, edited right in the table.

  3. 3

    Track RSVPs

    Mark not invited / invited / attending / declined; totals and estimated tables update automatically.

  4. 4

    Export to Excel

    Click Download Excel to keep a copy or share it with family.

What real guest lists look like

28

guests on a typical list, the median across 281 English lists of 10 names or more

1.57

people declared per yes reply, averaged over the attending replies among 12,243 English RSVPs

Both figures come from wedding lists built in English on ChungDoi. They are the two worth planning against: what a typical list actually holds, and why a confirmation is not the same thing as a seat. Splitting the list between both families, sorting names into A, B and C, and deciding when to lock the headcount are covered in the full guide.

FAQ

Is my guest list private?

Yes. The list is saved only in your browser (localStorage) and never sent to a server. Reopen the page on the same device and it is still there. Click Download Excel to keep a backup in case you clear your browser history.

How is this better than a spreadsheet?

It keeps the same columns as a wedding guest list spreadsheet but adds live totals (guests, total people, attending, estimated tables) and lets you filter and search, with no formulas to write. You can still download an Excel/CSV file any time.

Can I export to Excel?

Yes. Click Download Excel (.csv) to get a file that opens in Excel or Google Sheets, with all columns: name, phone, side, group, party size, RSVP, table, gift and notes.

How does it estimate the number of tables?

It divides your attending headcount by 10 seats per table and rounds up. It is a quick estimate; when booking, add 10-15% buffer and confirm seats per table with the venue.

How do guests RSVP themselves?

This tool is for tracking your own list. To let guests confirm themselves, create an online wedding invitation: guests tap a link, RSVP and leave wishes, and the headcount updates automatically.

Is it free?

Yes, 100% free with no sign-up. You can manage as many guests as you like.
