Bring guests over from a past event

Add them

1. Open the new event. On an empty Guests tab click From past events; on a list that already has guests, open Add guests → From past events.
2. Pick one or more past events (newest first; each shows how many guests it had and how many came).
3. The pool shows every guest from those events, once each — a person who came to three events is one row. Filter by came / didn't come, replied yes, category, or search by name.
4. Tick who to bring (or Select all shown). Choose whether to keep their party size, category and complimentary admission from last time.
5. Click Add N guests. They're added as new invitations on this event — unsent, so you can review the list and then Send invitations when you're ready.

What carries over

Name, email, phone, reference and notes come along; private guests stay private (the door finds them by name, nothing is sent). Attendance, replies and signatures stay with the past event — the new event starts clean. Someone already on the new list isn't added twice.

Who counts as the same person

Guests are matched by their guest-book contact first, then by email, then by name — never by phone alone, since several guests often share an organiser's number.
