Download a CSV guest-list template
The file contains two fictional sample rows. Replace them with your own guests before importing.
Open the file in your spreadsheet app, keep the header row, and use one row per guest. Export as CSV, then choose Import CSV in the planner. A CSV stores the list of people; it does not contain table positions or seat assignments.
