    I did this as well..... I have one tab with just names and number of guests per household (so I know how many invitations I need). Then I have a tab with full names and addresses, and still have the number of adults and kids next to it so I can sum it and make sure it matches tab 1 so I am not missing anyone!

  • I made mine in google docs so I can access it from any computer.

    I have one sheet that's a main list of all our guests with their full names, how many are attending, their address, as well as their guests full name.

    I then have separate sheets for who my mom invited, who my dad invited, who FI's parents invited, and who we invited as a couple.

    Eventually I'm going to input everyone's names into the wedding wire guest list manager (who our website is through) so we can manage RSVPs as well as gifts/thank you cards.

  • I also added a column for RSVP's and gifts

  • It was a template I made, I'd love to share it, however I have over 200 address' in it :( I did three worksheets though, FI family, Mine and Our friends / our bosses, and than organized into columns alphabetically - with address' / phone numbers, how many adults / children for that household and other columns for if they are attending, another for gift received and if the TY card has been sent.. sorry this is not more help!

  • TK Has a template you can downloan from their tools section.  You can then upload it back on TK and use it to track RSVP's and table seating
  • My post is confusing after re-reading it....

    Here is my format:

    Tab 1

    Names     # of Adults      # of kids

    Tab 2

    Names and Addresses    # of adults    # of kids


    I have both tabs subtotaled at the bottom to be sure that both are exactly the same. HTH!

    I did this too.  I created an entire wedding planner on a spreadsheet within Google Docs.  The guest list tab has columns for the gift they gave and one for me to mark when I've mailed a thank you card.<div>
    </div><div><strong>Highly suggested: </strong>I created a column immeditely next to the names for the RSVP number.  I'll add this number to the RSVP card, so just in case someone forgets to write their name I'll be able to match it up with the master list.</div><div>

  • I use TK guest list but also just copied and pasted it into a Pages document so I don't lose it
  • Ours is in a Google Doc as well - it's a shared doc so we can each edit it whenever we need to (and on our phones) which has been incredibly easy and useful.  The columns I have are last name, first name, address, number invited, number of kids, save the date sent, invitation sent, RSVP yes, rehearsal dinner, and thank you sent.

  • I'm doing one.  Mine has a list going from left to right of names, total # invited, STD sent, shower invite sent (where applicable otherwise an x is there), invite sent, shower thank you sent (where applicable otherwise x), RSVP Y or N with #, thank you sent, address.
    image
  • My columns in every single tab are:

    Last name
    First name
    +1's Last name
    +1's first name
    # of people invited under that guest (+1's, children) --this is totaled at the bottom
    Address
    City
    State
    Zip Code

    Then I have many different tabs with all of the above with an extra column for each reason:
    STD's sent
    Shower invitations sent
    Shower gift and another column for TY sent
    # of people attending and 4 columns for each meal choice (totaled at the bottom)
    Wedding gift and another column for TY sent

    Hope that helps!
