    My Mom had a ton of my families addresses... My FH's grandma had a majority of the addresses on her side. A lot of times relatives are a good way to find them.

    Our plan is to send out save the dates online and along with someone asking them to email their address for the formal invitation. And also collect addresses by asking.

    So far our game plan is collecting the addresses of those who are getting married now and placing them in our excel sheet, the rest is just we know because we’re close or family who have recently gotten married and were inviting people who were on their guest list (family of course that we know)

    Our parents got the addresses of most people! Our friends, I just texted or Facebook messaged. We are keeping it organized through an excel spreadsheet.

    We've got an excel spreadsheet and have been collecting addresses bit by bit. So far I've used a variety of methods...asking my parents, messaging the guest directly, using Canada 411...

    We did save the date emails and asked guests for their mailing addresses in the same email. Though we only got about 50% of the addresses so we will have to ask again closer to when we are sending the invites.

    We had under 40 guests and they were all close friends and immediate family so we already had like 50% of the addresses. The ones we didn't have, I texted and my husband texted his friends to get theirs.

    We created a guest list, split it between families, filled in the addresses we had and could find online and then asked our parents to help us fill in the blanks that existed. My family was super easy because my sister got married 2 years ago so it was just a matter of updating some addresses that needed it.

    We started our guest list in an Excel spreadsheet. We filled out the addresses we knew and then either asked our parents or asked people directly for the remaining addresses.
