Your guest list is the fastest way to keep your wedding organized. In WeddingHelp, you can add guests, update their details anytime, and send RSVP invite emails whenever you are ready.

Add guests to your list

  1. Go to My Wedding.
  2. Open the Guest List tab.
  3. In Add New Guests, enter:
    • The guest’s full name
    • Optionally, an email address (recommended for sending RSVP emails)
    • Optionally, a phone number
  4. Click Add Guest(s).

Add a plus-one

If the guest is allowed a plus-one, you can:

  • Click + Add plus-one while adding guests, or
  • Add them first, then enable plus-one later from the guest list.

View and manage your guest list

Once guests are added, you will see them in your guest list below. From here you can:

  • Edit guest details (name, email)
  • Change a guest’s status (for example: awaiting, invited, attending, declined)
  • Enable or edit a plus-one (+1)

Send RSVP invite emails

WeddingHelp lets you send RSVP invite emails in two ways:

Option 1: Send (or resend) to one guest

Each guest row has a Send Email button.

  • Use this to send an invite to one guest.
  • If you already sent an invite before, the button can be used to resend.
  • You can resend emails at any time.

Important:

  • Guests must have an email address to receive an invite email.

Option 2: Send to all guests who have not received an email

If you want to invite everyone at once, use:

  • Send email invites to all awaiting guests

This sends invite emails to all guests who:

  • Have a status of awaiting
  • Have an email address saved

You can resend emails later to individual guests whenever needed.
