How To Import Your Guests from An Excel File
If you have a CSV file with your guest list, you can easily upload the list to Lovebird. Simply follow these steps:
- Choose a design to get started and add your event details. You can always return later to edit the design and/or details.
- Follow the steps until you reach the Add Guests page.
- On the Add Guests page, select Import Contacts, then choose the Upload a file option.
If You Encounter Any Issues:
The most common problem when uploading is that the CSV file may be missing column titles or have invalid ones. The file must have at least one column with the title "Email Address" or "Phone Number". If these titles are absent, open your file in Excel and ensure to add one of these column titles if they're not already there. Additionally, "First Name" and "Last Name" column titles will be imported if present. These titles must be in the cells at the very top of the spreadsheet, and no other titles should be added.
After ensuring all column titles are in place, attempt uploading again. If you continue to encounter issues, feel free to email us at help@lovebird.com for further assistance. Make sure to attach the problematic file for reference.
How To Format Your Contacts File
- Open the spreadsheet in Excel.
- From the "File" menu, choose "Save As", and change the "Save as type" to "CSV (Comma delimited) (*.CSV)". Click Save.
- Your CSV file is now formatted and ready to upload.
