Contacts (El Capitan): Create a group in Contacts

Create a group in Contacts

If you frequently send email to the same group of people, you can create a group to make it easier. You can also use groups to organize your contacts by categories. You can send calendar invitations to a group and print the addresses in the group as a list, on mailing labels, and on envelopes.

You can also create a Smart Group that adds or removes contacts automatically based on rules you define. See Use Smart Groups.
