Some Ventage for Your Sunday (LJish)

FI told his family about 2 months ago that we needed their invite/address list for STDs.  Well, we just got it today, and it's in an unreadable format, and they still have to send up a paper copy of extra addresses.  I'm just so frustrated.  I understand they're busy, but it takes us time to address them and send them out, too.  And I really like his parents, they're just both very flighty, and it's frustrating to get anything from them.  Gaar.

    Call the guests and get the addresses yourself?

    That would be great if we knew who they wanted to invite.  They're inviting some of their friends/business associates.  It doesn't bother us, but we can't get this information if we don't know who they are.  I know it's not really that big of a deal, it's just more frustrating than anything.

    That does pose a problem. Good luck.

    I am in this situation as well. We need to start addressing envelopes, and we can't get the addresses from FI's family. I don't know how the hell we are going to invite them when we have no way to get a-hold of them. It is so frustrating!

    They're in a .lnk format, which, from what I can tell, is just a type of shortcut.  They converted it into a .doc, but it's messed up with all the funky symbols.  FI is currently manually "translating" it.

     Tell them you need everything by x date or people don't get STDs.  On the bright side, a save the date is not an invitation so you should be in good shape by then.

    We're going to send out STDs tomorrow for the addresses we have now. They're kind of necessary, since all the guests are OOT.  I know it's a but late, which was my fault, but they'll be just under 5 months out, so I think it will be alright.
