I recently encountered an issue with my WeddingWire planner guest list that almost ruined me. I had 125 guests RSVPd as attending and all with meal choices ready to give our caterer next week. When I first started using WeddingWire, I hadn't bothered using the seating chart feature, but this week I got curious and wanted to see how it worked. To do that, I went into settings and clicked the check box to to turn it on. After playing around with the seating chart tool for a bit, I decided I really did not need it after all, so I went back into settings and unchecked it.
When I went back to my guest list, TO MY HORROR, I found EVERY SINGLE MEAL CHOICE was BLANK! I was flabbergasted! I don't know how/why it happened. Maybe I unchecked 'track meals' accidently at one point?? i dunno. Anyways,
Just saying, the only thing that saved me from starting from SCRATCH, embarrassing myself by tracking down all 125 guests, was that I had an exported copy of my guest list from about 3 weeks ago. With it, I was able to recover at least 78 out of the 124 guest meal preferences. ALSO, I archived those little WW inbox messages that tell you "[someone] will be celebrating with you..." because they also tell you the guest's meal choice.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Make habit of EXPORTING your guest list often and ARCHIVE those annoying system messages that tell you someone has RSVPd. You'll be super glad you did if you accidently break something on this website like I did :#]
Thanks and Best Wishes to All!
