How-To Guides / Adding Guests

Adding Guests

Four ways to build your guest list: one at a time, as a family, with seats they name themselves, or pasted in bulk.

Adding or importing guests never sends anything automatically — sending an invite is always its own, separate step.

💡 Pro Tips

When to Group Invitations

Group guests who depend on someone else — kids, an elderly parent, a plus-one — into ONE invitation. They'll share a single link and PIN, so nobody has to hunt down a separate invite.

Handling Honorifics & Name Complexity

Titles and suffixes (Atty., Dr., Jr., Sr.) have their own field under “More details” — keep them out of First/Last Name so formal names print correctly everywhere on your site and messages.

Let Guests Name Their Own +1s

Not sure who's coming with a guest yet? Hold a few extra seats instead of guessing — they'll fill in the names themselves when they RSVP.

Magic Paste Understands Filipino Shorthand

“Tita”, “Kuya”, “Ate”, and family counts like “+4” are recognized automatically — paste straight from your Notes app or a group chat.

Review Before You Create

Magic Paste flags anything ambiguous — a missing surname, a possible duplicate — so you can double-check before anything is saved.

Roles Unlock Smarter Features

Tag a guest's role (entourage, VIP, family) to automatically personalize their RSVP message and show them the right dress code.

Build First, Send Later

Nothing is ever emailed automatically. Take your time building the full list — sending invites is always a separate, deliberate step.
