The Knot guest list to seating chart
Open The Knot Guest List Manager and click Download List in the top right. Choose to download the entire list as a table, or the RSVP responses table, and save the CSV.
What Tablecharm reads from the file
The import matches the header row, not a fixed column order. Whichever of these headers your The Knot export contains are read; every other column is ignored:
- Name / Guest / Full Name
- First Name
- Last Name
- Party / Household / Group
- RSVP / Status / Attending (one column per event is fine)
- Plus One / And Guest
- Partner First Name
- Partner Last Name
- Child (yes/no)
- Notes
- Tags
- Side
- Meal / Meal Choice / Entree
- Dietary Restrictions / Allergies
- Access Needs / Accessibility
Open the file in Tablecharm
This opens the editor on the Guests tab with Import a CSV ready. Upload the spreadsheet you just exported.
Questions couples ask
What if The Knot export has columns Tablecharm does not use?
That is fine. Tablecharm only reads the columns it recognizes, such as name, household, and RSVP status, and ignores the rest.
Will plus-ones from The Knot come through?
If your export notes a plus-one for a guest, that plus-one is added as its own guest in the same party, so the two are seated together.
