Relative Picker

Adding Guests from Your Family Tree

When you’re inviting family to a wedding, engagement, or Diwali get-together, you shouldn’t have to type every name again. The relative picker lets you pull people straight from your family tree into your event’s guest list in one go.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you’ll need an event and a family tree with relatives added.

Pick a Relative Group

How to get there: Dashboard > Events > your event > Add from Family Tree

Along the top of the screen is a row of quick groups. Tapping one filters the list below so you only see the people in that branch of your tree.

1. Open your event from the Events list.
2. Tap Add from Family Tree.
3. Swipe the group row left or right to see all six options.
4. Tap the group you want: My Parents, My Children, First Cousins, Maternal Line, Paternal Line, or Custom.
5. Wait a moment while the matching relatives load.

Group	Who you’ll see
My Parents	Your mother and father
My Children	Your sons and daughters
First Cousins	Children of your aunts and uncles
Maternal Line	Relatives on your mother’s side
Paternal Line	Relatives on your father’s side
Custom	Everyone in your tree, so you can hand-pick

Tip

For a wedding, work through the groups one at a time: My Parents, then Maternal Line, then Paternal Line. It’s far easier to spot who’s missing than to scan one long list of 200 names.

Select the People You Want

Below the group row is a list of relatives, each with a checkbox.

1. Scroll through the list.
2. Tap any person to tick their checkbox.
3. Tap them again if you change your mind.
4. Keep going until everyone you want for this round is ticked.

Caution

Switching to a different group clears whatever you’ve ticked. Finish adding one group before you move to the next.

Add Them to Your Guest List

Once you’ve selected at least one person, an Add button appears at the bottom of the screen showing how many people you’ve picked.

1. Check the count on the button matches what you expect.
2. Tap Add.
3. Wait for the confirmation message at the bottom of the screen.

Your selections clear automatically after a successful add, so you can move straight on to the next group.

Next Best Action

After your family is on the list, most organizers:

• For weddings and large functions: Send SMS invitations
• For ticketed events: Set up tickets and UPI payments

Troubleshooting

“No relatives found” - The group you picked has nobody in it yet. Try a wider group like Maternal Line or Custom, or add the missing people to your family tree first.

“Couldn’t add guests. Please try again.” - Something went wrong reaching your event. Check your internet connection and tap Add again. Your selections stay ticked, so nothing is lost.

The Add button isn’t showing - It only appears once you’ve ticked at least one person. Tap a relative in the list to bring it up.

My selections disappeared - Either they were added successfully, or you switched to a different group. Check your guest list to confirm before re-selecting.

The same person appears twice on my guest list - They were likely added once here and once manually. Open your guest list and remove the duplicate.

Names look wrong or unfamiliar in the list - Open your family tree and check that each person has a full name saved, then come back and try again.
