You have two ways to add guests to a wedding in Weddingkart: add them one at a time manually, or import a spreadsheet to add many at once.

​
Manual addition

Use manual addition when you have a handful of guests to add or need to quickly add a single person.
1

Open the Guests section

Navigate to the wedding in the Weddingkart app and open Guests.
2

Tap Add Guest

Tap Add Guest → Add Manually.
3

Enter name and phone number

Enter the guest’s name and phone number. You can add up to three phone numbers per guest.For international guests, include the full country code (e.g., +1 555 123 4567 for the US). If you omit the country code, Weddingkart assumes the same country as your account.
4

Assign to a group (optional)

Select one or more groups to add the guest to. You can skip this and assign groups later.
5

Save

Tap Save. The guest is added to your wedding immediately.

​
Guest fields

Every guest requires a name and at least one phone number. Everything else is optional.
FieldRequiredNotes
NameYesThe name used in message placeholders (GUEST_NAME)
Phone numberYesUp to 3 numbers per guest; include country code for international
GroupNoAssign on creation or any time afterward

​
Guest attributes

Guest attributes are custom fields you attach to individual guests. They work like extra columns in a spreadsheet — you define the field name once, then set a value per guest. Common attributes include:
  • hotel_name — which hotel the guest is staying at
  • pickup_point — airport or station pickup location
  • bus_number — shuttle or bus group assignment
  • meal_preference — dietary requirement
Once you set an attribute, you can use it as a placeholder in any WhatsApp message. Write HOTEL_NAME in your message template and Weddingkart replaces it with each guest’s specific hotel name at send time. Every guest gets a personalised message from a single template. You can set attributes when adding a guest manually, or import them in bulk from an Excel file by including them as extra columns.
Weddingkart validates attribute placeholders before you send. If any guest in your target group is missing a value for a placeholder you used, the app shows you a list so you can fill the gaps before sending.

​
Next steps

Once your guests are added, organize them into groups to control who receives which announcements.
For large guest lists, skip manual addition entirely. Use Excel import to bring in hundreds of guests at once, with groups created automatically from your spreadsheet columns.
