What if you can't get addresses for guests??

kristiwashere

I'm ready to send 99% of my invites - but 2 of them I don't have addresses for the guests. I've tried messaging them on Facebook, no response (after a week or so, but they've been active on FB)

Should I trust the address I get on WhitePages.com? I guess it speaks for how rarely I mail anything that I had to ask almost everyone for their address via Facebook because I don't know it!

Thanks ladies! White Pages it is I have better things to worry about than hounding people for their addresses.

I think White Pages is fine. I also think, in this situation, if you happen to see these people soon face-to-face, you could just hand them their invitation and explain the circumstances surrounding it.

Unless they were family, I wouldn't invite them. How close can you be if they don't respond to your Facebook messages, and you don't have a phone number or e-mail address? ('cause you might try those before using the internet)

<div>They are both former pastors (and their families) of mine. I asked my mom for a list of people she wanted me to invite, and they are 2 of them.</div>

This is exactly what I thought.<div>
</div><div>This happened to us during the STD process. My FI had a cousin he wanted to invite but he never responded to his calls & texts. He asked other family members for his address & it seemed like no one really knew. I didn't want to say it, BUT, if he wasn't answering his calls, then he can't be all that "close" of a family member. My FI flipped. He insisted that this was a "close" family member & there was no way that he moved without telling him. </div><div>
</div><div>In the end, we found out that he moved (and most likely changed his number). He didn't tell anyone in his family. Some random mutual friend knew. Needless to say, he is not invited. </div>

I would have your mother try to call them at least once before going with the white pages address.

Do you have any mutual friends who you could ask?  If not, then go with the WhitePages address.

[QUOTE]If they're pastors, could it be sent to the church? Just an idea.

<div>Yes, one of them. the other is not currently with a church. But I think I'll call my mom and ask her if she really insists on me inviting them (she has been stubborn on a few possible guests, insisting they MUST be invited, even though I tell her they are people I've never met or don't like. I do like these people, but it's not important to me that they are invited/attend.)</div>
