The whole process, step by step

1

Prep your participant list

Create a sheet with three columns: Name, Email, and Exclusions (this last one's optional). Exclusions use position numbers separated by commas. For example, if Ann is at position 3 and you don't want John drawing her name, put a 3 on John's row.

2

Drop in your file or paste the data straight in

You can upload a .csv, .xlsx, or .xls file directly, or copy and paste the contents into the text box. Our platform reads the data automatically and shows you a summary before moving forward.

3

Double-check everything looks right

Review the table showing everyone we detected. If any emails look off, exclusions are out of range, or there are duplicate rows, we'll flag them so you can fix things before continuing.

4

Fill in the draw details and you're done!

Enter your email as organizer, name the draw, and optionally add the event date and budget. Hit the button and the draw runs instantly — everyone gets a private email revealing who their Monito Monita is.

A quick peek at the file format

It really doesn't need to be fancy. A simple three-column format separated by semicolons is all you need:

CSV

Name;Email;Exclusions

Sophie;[email protected]

Mark;[email protected];3

Lucy;[email protected]

Paul;[email protected];1,2

Ellen;[email protected]

Sophie has no exclusions at all, so she could be matched with anyone.

Mark has exclusion 3, so he won't be paired with Lucy.

Paul has exclusions 1 and 2: he won't gift Sophie or Mark.

The exclusion number matches each person's position in the list (starting at 1). Separate multiple numbers with commas if someone has more than one exclusion.
