Learn the optimal timeline for collecting wedding RSVPs in 2024, including professional tips for using OhMyGuests.com's automated calling service to ensure maximum response rates.
The 8-Month Mark: Initial Guest List Preparation
Start by having both the bride and groom create separate initial guest lists. Here's how to organize this crucial first step:
Creating Separate Lists
- Bride's list: Family members, friends, colleagues, and family friends
- Groom's list: Family members, friends, colleagues, and family friends
- Shared list: Mutual friends and shared colleagues
Essential Information to Collect
For each guest, gather:
- Full name (with correct spelling)
- Phone number (mobile preferred for OhMyGuests.com calling service)
- Email address
- Relationship to bride/groom
- Plus-one status
- Age (for sorting adults/children)
- Priority level (A-list/B-list)
- Special considerations (elderly, traveling from abroad)
Organizing Your Data
Create a spreadsheet with separate tabs for:
- Combined master list
- Bride's family
- Groom's family
- Friends and colleagues
- Plus-ones
- Children
This organized approach makes it easy to upload your final list to OhMyGuests.com when you're ready to start collecting RSVPs.
