🏠 What Are Households?
A household is a group of guests who belong together, such as:
Couples
Families
Plus-ones
Guests sharing an address
Anyone who should receive a single invitation
Households keep your guestlist tidy and prevent duplicate invites or mismatched RSVPs.
➕ Creating Households
You can create a household in just a few clicks.
To create a household:
Open your Guestlist tab
Select two or more guests who belong together
Click Create Household
Optionally add a Household Name
Save — those guests are now grouped
Tip:
Use names like “The Johnson Family” or “Anna & Mark” for easy tracking.
✏️ Editing or Updating a Household
You can change household members anytime.
To edit a household:
Find the household icon beside grouped guests
Click Edit Household
Add or remove members
Rename the household
Update shared contact details
Edits save automatically - perfect for new family members or separating guests who no longer belong together.
➗ Removing or Splitting a Household
If guests shouldn’t be grouped anymore:
Open Edit Household
Remove the guests you want to separate
If only one guest remains, the household dissolves automatically.
Removing all members deletes the household entirely.
👤 Adding Plus-Ones to a Guest
A plus-one is an additional guest linked to a primary invitee - ideal for partners or companions.
To add a plus-one:
Open your Guestlist
Select the guest who gets a plus-one
Choose Add Plus-One
Enter their name, email or phone - or leave it blank as a placeholder
Save
Tip:
If you don’t know their name yet, add a placeholder like “Guest of Sarah Lee”. You can update it later.
🔗 How Plus-Ones Work Inside Households
When you add a plus-one:
They are automatically added to the same household
They share the same invitation
They appear nested below the main guest
They can have their own tags, seating and categories
Their status can follow the main guest or be set individually
This keeps RSVPs accurate and lists clean.
✏️ Editing a Plus-One
To update a plus-one’s details:
Click their row within the household
Edit their name, email, phone or tags
Changes save instantly
Great for replacing placeholder names when details become available.
❌ Removing a Plus-One
To remove a plus-one:
Expand the household
Click the plus-one’s row
Select Remove or Delete
Removing a plus-one does not affect the main guest.
🔄 Managing Status for Households & Plus-Ones
Statuses can be shared or individual:
Shared:
Couple RSVPs “Yes” → both Attending
Family declines → all Not Attending
Individual:
Parent attending but child not
Guest attending without their plus-one
You can update statuses manually anytime.
