Edit Guest

Editing a Guest’s Details

Plans change, and guest lists change with them. This screen lets event organisers update a guest you have already added: their name, contact details, RSVP and anything else you captured when inviting them.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you’ll need an event with at least one guest added.

Open a guest for editing

How to get there: Dashboard > Your Event > Guests > tap a guest > Edit

1. Open the event you’re working on from your dashboard.
2. Tap Guests to see your full guest list.
3. Tap the guest you want to change.
4. Tap Edit to open their details.
5. Wait a moment while the guest’s saved details load.

The heading greets you with the guest’s first name, for example Update Priya, so you can be sure you opened the right person before you start typing.

Tip

Searching before scrolling saves real time. On a 400-guest wedding list, it is much faster to search for “Sharma” than to scroll looking for the right cousin.

Update the details and save

1. Tap any field you want to change.
2. Edit the existing text, or clear it and enter the new value.
3. Correct the phone number if it has changed, including the +91 country code.
4. Update the RSVP or attendance details if the guest has confirmed or dropped out.
5. Tap Save to apply your changes.

Your changes replace what was there before, so double-check spellings of names before you save. Guest names often appear on invitations, name cards and check-in lists.

Caution

Changing a guest’s phone number or email changes where their invitations, reminders and tickets are delivered. If you fix a wrong number, resend the invitation so the guest actually receives it.

Next Best Action

After updating a guest, most organisers:

• For a corrected phone number: Resend the invitation
• For a confirmed guest: Track RSVPs

Fields you can update

Field	Description	Required
First name	The guest’s given name, shown on the guest list and check-in screens	Yes
Last name	Family name, useful for sorting large family lists	No
Phone number	Mobile number with +91 code, used for SMS invitations and reminders	Yes
Email	Used for emailed invitations and tickets	No
Group or category	How you’ve grouped this guest, such as Bride's family or Colleagues	No
RSVP status	Whether the guest has confirmed, declined or not yet responded	No
Notes	Anything worth remembering, such as a dietary preference	No

Tip

Use groups consistently from the start. Clean groups let you send one message to only the office guests for a Diwali party, without disturbing family members.

What to Do Next

Your Situation	Recommended Next Step
Fixed a wrong phone number	Resend the invitation
Guest can no longer attend	Remove them from the list
Many guests to correct	Re-import your guest list
Guest list is final	Set up check-in
Paid event with a plus-one	Set up tickets

Troubleshooting

The spinner keeps turning and details never appear - The guest’s details are still being fetched. Check your mobile data or Wi-Fi, then go back and open the guest again.

“No guest found” - This guest is no longer on the event’s list, usually because they were removed on another device. Go back to your guest list and add them again if needed.

An error message appears instead of the form - Something went wrong while loading. Go back, reopen the guest, and try again once you have a stable connection.

The heading says “Update Guest” instead of a name - The details had not loaded yet, or the guest has no first name saved. Add a first name and save so the guest is easy to identify later.

My changes did not stick - Changes only apply once you tap Save. If you leave the screen or use the back gesture first, your edits are discarded.

Duplicate guests appear after editing - You likely edited one entry while a second copy of the same person existed from an earlier import. Remove the extra entry from the guest list.
