Creating the perfect wedding guest list that you, your partner, and your families are content with is not all that easy. The guest list suggestions change often before you reach the final count. Parents usually prefer making a wedding guest list on pen and paper. At the same time, millennial couples love to put everything together in Excel or Google Sheets with room to add the total number of people coming from each family. Merging these lists then becomes an additional task.
We at WeddingWire India have a solution for you. You can now plan your entire guest list on our website or app for free. Open the guest list tool and add your guests directly from your phone's contact list. This helps you synchronise your wedding guest list.
Ideally, the guest list should be finalised before the wedding venue and catering services are finalised. Vendors need to know your guest count before you finalise the contracts with them.
To assist you with one of the most significant wedding planning tasks and make it convenient, let us take you through a detailed step-by-step guide on how WeddingWire's Guest List tool can be your saviour. Don't forget to make notes!

Analytics

The Groups under the Analytics tab show the number of guests who will attend your wedding from each group you have segregated them into. This allows you to make decisions smoothly.
