October 2012 Weddings

addresses!!!

I swear I never knew it was so hard to get peoples addresses! FI's mom was able to get most of the people from FI's list and I've got a whole lot more to go! FI is like well I was just going to hand them out. Ugh! Ok well are you also going to hand out the shower invites and thank you cards? Didn't think so...that means I still need addresses!

On a BRIGHTER note.....I've been tracking my invites and it says they're expected delivery is FRIDAY! I just ordered them from VP on Monday and chose 7 day shipping so they'll be early and I can start addressing this weekend!

    I got a lot of mine by texting and private messaging our friends on Facebook. They seemed most responsive that way. Then, we got our parents to sit down and get us the addresses for their guests or extended family.

  • On both FI's and my side, one person has the addresses for everyone, including second cousins. So that helped. I got my friends' addresses via facebook messages. The only hard part was FIL's friends. FMIL even said "you know, it's above the bar by grandpa's house" She eventually got the address...but it was definitely rough.

  • Yeah, Facebook was most helpful for us. We also started doing Christmas cards so we had some from that, which was good.

  • I got most of mine by using my sister's wedding guest list and then FI's sister gave me hers...
    I had to ask at a christmas party for the rest of FI's bc he kept blowing it off, then last minute him and his mom added 3 people to the list and im like ok well can i have addresses and it was like pulling teeth, im like c'mon!!!
  • The friends haven't been a problem at all its family...I don't know all my aunts and uncles and cousins' numbers! Not only that with my Dad being deceased there are people I don't know how to contact without literally knocking on their door.

  • I know, right?! It took me literally months to get everyone's addresses so I could send STDs. Fortunately there haven't been any changes to the address list since then, so I don't have to do any more work to send the invites!

  • I swear getting addresses was the most stressful part of this whole experience.
