You need some way to convey to the template whose party you want to report
on. You could rewrite it as a global macro and then invoke it with
<<guestlist "MomsBirthday">>.
Another approach is to set a field to select the celebration you want. For
this example, I'm assuming you have:
title: Mom's Birthday
whose: MomsBirthday
text: {{||GuestListTemplate}} (with other text and templates)
then your GuestListTemplate would look like
<$list filter="[tag[Guest]tag{!!whose}]">
<$view field="name"/>
</$list>
