# Upload Guest List - Excel Spreadsheet

**Uploading your guest list from a spreadsheet**

**Can I add guests by uploading a spreadsheet instead of entering them one by one?**\
Yes. If your guest list lives in Excel, you can upload it directly — no manual entry needed.

**How do I upload my guest list?**

1. Log in to your Evite account and go to your invitation.
2. Go to **Add Guests** for your Invitation (or start there when creating a new one).
3. Select **More ways to add.**
4. Choose your file and click **Upload File.**
5. Review the list to make sure everything looks right.
6. Click **Send** when you're ready.

**How does my spreadsheet need to be formatted?**

The upload won't work if the file isn't structured correctly. Set it up like this:

* **Column A:** First name (and/or last name — include additional names here if you're adding a family or couple under one contact)
* **Column B:** Email address (leave blank if you're adding by phone instead)
* **Column C:** Phone number (leave blank if you're adding by email instead)

A few things to leave out: column headers, special characters or symbols, and any additional filled columns beyond A, B, and C.

**My file isn't uploading correctly. What now?**\
Send your spreadsheet to <support@evite.com> and the team can help you get the formatting sorted and the list uploaded.
