How to Upload Your Guest Lists like a Pro

Event planners have a love-hate relationship with spreadsheets that’s worthy of its own Bravo TV show.

Yep - managing the guest list for your event can be a mess. Avoid the headache by learning how to effortlessly upload your lists to Splash. Here are three tips to help you become an upload master:

01 | Column headers are your friend

The first row in your spreadsheet file should be reserved for column headers, including First Name, Last Name, and Email Address. Pro tip: This info can be dynamically pulled into your emails through Splash. Make it personal.

Any guest you upload to Splash is stored in your Contacts manager, so you can also include columns like Birthday, Twitter handle, Website, Phone Number, Location, and more. With our Producer and Enterprise packages, you can use dynamic filters to curate targeted invite lists from these details.

02 | Keep It Clean

If you’re using Microsoft Excel, check out the Text to Columns tool to get rid of any extra semicolons and unnecessary characters. Or, use it to split information like First Name and Last Name into separate columns. Be sure to check for any duplicates and delete any “filler” info.


Email sent to “Mr. I don’t know” successfully avoided.

03 | Don’t forget 3 letters: CSV

Whether you’re using Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Apple’s Numbers, or whatever came with your computer, there’s one file type that plays nice with everyone. Comma Separated Values (.CSV) file type is the universal spreadsheet format that uploads best into Splash.


All you need to remember is to export your list as a .CSV, shown below.
