Zola guest list export to seating chart
On a desktop computer, open your Zola Guest List, click the dots in the top right, and download the list. If you want RSVP responses included, open the Track RSVPs page and click Export RSVPs to download a CSV or Excel file.
What Tablecharm reads from the file
The import matches the header row, not a fixed column order. Whichever of these headers your Zola 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
Do I need to clean up the Zola export before uploading it?
No. Tablecharm reads whatever columns your export has and only needs a name in each row. Extra columns like email or address are ignored.
What happens to guests who declined in Zola?
If your export includes an RSVP column and it says declined, that guest is left out. Anyone marked attending, pending, or anything else is kept.
Importing from somewhere else
Prefer to type or paste names by hand instead? See the seating chart maker or browse the seating chart guides.
