A wedding guest list keeps invitation decisions, replies, meal requirements, and seating information in one place. Use the templates below to build the initial list and track each household through invitation and RSVP follow-up.
Keep Guest Counts Consistent
Decide whether each row represents a household or an individual before entering names. Record the number invited and the number attending separately, including children and plus-ones where applicable. Add mailing details, invitation status, RSVP date, dietary requirements, and table assignment only as needed.
Check the final attendance total against the venue and catering counts. A household with four invited guests but only two confirmed attendees should not count as four meals. Keep a dated copy of the final list and share only the information each vendor needs.

Wedding guest-list example
Create one row per invited household, then record individual guest names, contact details, RSVP status, meal choices and seating notes. Use a fixed status list such as invited, accepted, declined and awaiting reply so filtering remains consistent. Avoid storing unnecessary private details. A ticket template may help with controlled entry, while a meeting agenda template can organize vendor and family planning meetings.
Wedding Guest Seating and Meal List
The Wedding Guest Seating and Meal List keeps guest name, household, rsvp together in a printable Word layout. Use one row per person. Confirm numbers with the household before assigning seats and sending totals to the caterer.
