Question 1

Is my guest list private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Names, phone numbers and RSVP status stay in your browser's local storage and never touch a server, so there's no database to be exposed.

Question 2

Will I lose my list if I close the browser?

Accepted Answer

No, it persists until you clear your browser's site data. It's still worth exporting or noting a backup copy, since clearing history or cache would remove it.

Question 3

Does it track headcount, not just names?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each entry has a family or party count, so your total guest number accounts for plus-ones and children rather than just counting rows.

Question 4

Can I filter by RSVP status?

Accepted Answer

Yes, filter to confirmed, pending or declined at any time, and search by name or phone number to find someone quickly in a long list.

Question 5

Can I use this alongside the Budget Calculator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, confirmed headcount here is exactly what the Budget Calculator uses for per-guest catering costs, so keeping this list current keeps that estimate accurate.
