Your guest list is the heart of your planning. This is where you gather everyone who should be there, and later you see at a glance who has already said yes. You will find it in your dashboard under Planung → Gäste (Planning → Guests). Adding, changing and deleting guests is completely free, you do not need Premium for it.
Adding a guest
Open Gäste (guests) and click „Gast hinzufügen" (add guest). If your list is still empty, the button sits in the middle of the card „Noch keine Gäste" (no guests yet).
Enter the Vorname (first name) and Nachname (last name). Both are required, otherwise you get the note „Vor- und Nachname sind erforderlich." (first and last name are required)
Add E-Mail and Telefon (phone) if you like. You only need the email address if this guest should receive an invitation by email later.
Pick a Gruppe (group). „Gemeinsame Freunde" (mutual friends) is preselected.
In the field Haushalt (household) you can write a shared label, for example „Familie Müller".
With the toggle „Plus One erlauben" (allow a plus one) this guest may bring a companion.
Under „Interne Notizen" (internal notes) there is room for everything that is nobody's business but yours.
Click „Gast hinzufügen" and you are done.
Every new guest starts with the status „Ausstehend" (pending) and automatically gets a personal 8-digit invitation code. That code makes sure a later reply is matched to exactly the right person.
Good to know: You cannot choose the RSVP status while adding a guest. Yes and no answers only come from the sign-up form on your event page.
Changing details later
Nobody has all the email addresses ready on the first try. You can go back and edit every guest at any time:
In your guest list through the three-dot menu of the row („Aktionen", meaning actions) on „Bearbeiten" (edit).
Or you open the guest and click „Bearbeiten" at the top right.
The dialog „Gast bearbeiten" (edit guest) opens with the same fields as when you added them. Save it with „Speichern" (save). What you cannot change is the RSVP status, the invitation code and the answers your guest gave themselves. An email address you correct later also has no effect on invitations that have already gone out, those you need to send again.
Deleting a guest
Open the three-dot menu in the row and choose „Löschen" (delete). On the guest detail page you find it in the card „Aktionen" under „Gast löschen" (delete guest).
Confirm the question „Möchtest du diesen Gast wirklich löschen?" (do you really want to delete this guest?).
The message „Gast gelöscht." (guest deleted) tells you that everything is gone. If you delete from the detail page, you land back in your guest list automatically.
Along with the guest, their reply disappears too, including everything they told you about food, children or wishes.
Good to know: There is no recycle bin. Deleted guests cannot be restored, you would have to add them again.
Frequently asked questions
I have 120 guests. Do I really have to type them all in one by one?
No. If your list already exists in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, the CSV import is much faster. You can read how that works in the article „Gäste per CSV importieren und exportieren".
Can I delete several guests at once?
Not at the moment. There are no checkboxes, so you remove guests one at a time through the three-dot menu.
I deleted a main guest but their companion is still there.
That is how it works. Companions that were added automatically are entries of their own and they stay. You can delete them separately.
