Guest List
Builder (GLB)
With GLB, creating your guest list is
a lot simpler.
Your mom would want to invite her friends and neighbors, and
only she has their details. Install GLB on her computer and
she can create her list and enter all the details. When she
is done or when she likes to update the main WA site, she
exports and send it over (using automatic email straight
from the software).
And it's not only your mom. You can install it freely on
every machine. Thus, not only dispersing the work load but
making sure that the data imported is always accurate.
Updating the database can be done as many times as you like,
keeping your final data in full sync with its sources. When
importing the list - parties will be auto-invites to events
that are defined to do so, you can associate the added
parties with groups and manually invite to special events.
