Wedding invitations
are an important part of the wedding planning process. Not only do they give your guests a sneak peek into the style and theme of your big day, but they also serve as a reminder for them to save the date and RSVP if they plan on attending. But before you can send out those invitations, you’ll need to collect addresses from your guests. Here’s how to go about it.
Ask Guests Directly
One of the easiest ways to get addresses is by asking your guests directly. If you know someone’s address, don’t be shy about asking them for it—chances are they won’t mind giving it to you! You can also include a “Please provide your mailing address in the space provided below” section on your RSVP cards. This will make it easier for people who may have forgotten their address or aren’t comfortable sharing it with you directly.
Utilize Technology
The internet offers plenty of tools that can help make collecting addresses easier and less time consuming. Online services like Joy or WedTexts allow you to upload a list of contact information and then create a custom link that you can share with each guest via email, text, or social media platform. The link will take them to an online form where they can enter their name, mailing address, and any other pertinent information that you might need from them (e.g., dietary restrictions). Once they submit the form, their information will be added to a master list which makes organizing all of this data much easier than manually entering everything yourself!
Check Social Media Sites
Social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn often have people’s current mailing address listed in their profile or under “contact info” so these could be great resources as well! Just remember that if someone has changed their location since joining the site years ago, chances are their address may no longer be accurate so double check before sending out any invites!
Conclusion:Collecting addresses for your wedding invitations doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming. By asking guests directly, utilizing technology such as online services or social media sites, and double-checking any information received from those sources, you’ll have all of your guest’s up-to-date contact information in no time at all! With the right tools and methods at your disposal, gathering everything needed for sending out those beautiful invites will be one less thing on your wedding planning checklist!
