Managing Guest Groups

Groups let you organize your guests and send targeted messages to specific subsets of your list — like "Bridal Party," "Family," or "Rehearsal Dinner."

Creating a Group

You can create groups at any time from your Guest List page:

  1. Go to your event's Guest List.
  2. Click Groups in the toolbar.
  3. Click + New Group and give it a name.

Groups are also created automatically when you import a CSV file with a Groups column. Any group name that doesn't already exist will be created on the fly.

Assigning Guests to Groups

There are a few ways to assign guests to groups:

From the guest detail

Click on a guest's name, then use the group selector to add or remove group memberships.

When adding a guest

The "Add Guest" form includes a group field. Select one or more groups before saving.

Via CSV import

Include a Groups column in your spreadsheet with comma-separated group names. See the CSV guide for details.

Guests in Multiple Groups

A guest can belong to as many groups as you like. For example, your sister might be in "Family," "Bridal Party," and "Rehearsal Dinner" all at once.

When you send a message to multiple groups, Wedping automatically de-duplicates — a guest who appears in several of the selected groups will only receive the message once.

Using Groups for Targeted Messaging

Groups really shine when it's time to send messages. Instead of selecting individual guests, you can pick one or more groups as your audience:

  • Send rehearsal dinner details only to the "Rehearsal Dinner" group.
  • Blast a day-of timeline to everyone in "Bridal Party."
  • Send a thank-you message to all guests after the wedding.

FAQs & Common Gotchas

Renaming a group

You can rename a group at any time from the Groups panel. All guest assignments are preserved — only the label changes.

Deleting a group

Deleting a group removes the label but does not delete the guests in it. They'll still be in your guest list and any other groups they belong to.
