If you already have guest information in Microsoft Outlook™ you can import it, rather than re-typing it.
Note The user interface of Outlook may differ between different versions.

Guests pane or

If you wish to import guests as couples, families and/or groups you need to:
1.Have a groups column in your spreadsheet.
2.Use the same name in the group column for each person in the couple, family or group.
3.Make this column the Group field during import.
These guests will then be placed in the same group with the proximity you have selected in the Proximity for guests in same group drop-down list. You can easily change the proximity by right-clicking on the group and selecting the appropriate proximity later.
