Easy way to collect addresses for wedding (for free)

A wedding address collector is not the first thing you think of after the engagement ring’s initial debut. But collecting wedding guests’ addresses can easily become the bane of your wedding planning existence unless of course you have an easy little tool. Getting engaged to your forever partner in crime means an endless stream of congratulatory texts, Facebook messages and the periodic (and far more personal) congratulations cards. You may have chosen to plan an engagement party or kept the celebrations between just a select few (for now). Either way, the real planning hasn’t quite kicked off.

Lucky for you, we’ve got an easy way to get addresses for your wedding! Actually, it’s likely the easiest part of your whole wedding planning process.

A few tips getting started to collect your guests’ wedding addresses before you get started:

1. No email? No problem.

Don’t have your guests’ email addresses? No problem. Here are a few other options on how you can share your link to gather mailing addresses:

• Facebook messenger.
• Facebook event page.
• Facebook wall post.
• Text it.

Facebook is a good option for gathering the info you need, but keep in mind the different ways you can use it:

– Sending your link via messenger is easy and you know only those folks will get it.

– Create a Facebook event page with the link in the description and invite anyone you’d like to collect information from. Make the event page private so that only people you specifically choose will see the link and enter their information.

– Post it to your wall — just keep in mind anyone with access to your page can enter their information.

Not a fan of using Facebook? No problem. Text it to all your friends and family — the address form is mobile friendly!

Don’t worry, nobody except for you can ever access the address book itself, so all of the information is safe and sound.

2. Prepare your guest list.

Before you click send, consider your wedding guest list. Who are you going to invite? If you’re planning on mailing the link out to everyone you and your fiancé know before creating your wedding guest list, you may want to think twice.

Consoling hurt feelings may be more than you’ll want to deal with right now. Will your old co-workers feel left out if they don’t get a save the date from you even though you asked them for their mailing address? Just a tiny bit of planning ahead of time will save you some trouble. Send out the link to collect wedding addresses AFTER you’ve created your wedding guest list.

3. Customize your address collecting form.

Your Postable address request form is totally customizable. A few things to keep in mind:

• Are you going to want to address your envelopes more formally or will you keep things casual?
• Do you want to collect some additional information while you’re at it (for example, each person’s birthday)?
• Do you want to have the option for the spouse/partner names to be included?

Just a few things to think about as you customize your form. You’ll be able to include titles request (Mr./Mrs etc.) or skip that altogether if you’re going more casual. You’ll have the option to request additional information like birthdays, spouse/partner and children names.

Make your form your own by customizing the text at the top of the form with a unique description your wedding guests will appreciate. Here’s a simple guide to help you make your address request form on your own terms.
