Easy Way to Gather Mailing Addresses for your Guest List

Wedding Stationery Guide

18 Sep

Addressing your envelope. Sigh. Are you dreading this task for your wedding invitations? Or maybe you completely forgot about it? Perhaps you’ve thought ahead and know you’re going to use a calligrapher (like Nikki from Made by Meer whose gorgeous work is featured below) to address the envelopes for you, or I’ll be printing the addresses for you.

Well, no matter what route you decide to go, before you get started you’re going to need to gather the addresses for everyone on your guest list. That means getting on the phone, digging out your address book, or searching for the Christmas card mailing list you put together six years ago and trying to remember who has moved in the last few years.

Sounds miserable, right? Well it doesn’t have to be! Enter Postable – it’s a website that allows you to collect addresses from your family and friends just by sharing a link (email it, text it, post it on Facebook – however you like). It stores the addresses for you – all for free! Once you’ve collected all your addresses, you can easily export an Excel spreadsheet to share with your stationer.

Head over to the Postable website today and sign up. Then share that link with everyone! I don’t care how far off your wedding is, the sooner you get started on addresses for your guest list, the better. Trust me – it will take longer than you think, and you don’t want to be scrambling at the last minute trying to figure it out.

No, this isn’t a sponsored post – I just love Postable!

I absolutely loved working with Annie on her weddi I absolutely loved working with Annie on her wedding stationery. But even more than all the pretty paper we collaborated on, I'm so glad that I was a helpful and happy part of her wedding planning ♥️⁠
"Working with Sarah at Banter and Charm was one of my most favorite memories in wedding planning. Above all else, Sarah is a professional, and you know it immediately. She has a lovely process for brides who can’t meet in person, and provides such helpful insight as the process evolves. On top of that, she elevated my vision and gave me a keepsake that I will always treasure. Sarah is helpful, creative and so on top of it, I am grateful for her beautiful work!"⁠
⁠
Thank you so much for the kind words, Annie!⁠

Sometimes you fall in love with an invitation desi Sometimes you fall in love with an invitation design, but wish that the font was a little different. Maybe you have a fancier script in mind, or a mid-century sans-serif to compliment your art deco theme. Or maybe you don't like how your name looks in that pretty script font in the sample design. Either way, you're welcome to switch out the font in any of the designs shown on my site.⁠
These two photos show versions of my "Basilica" design - each one uses a different script font for the bride and groom's names- both lovely in their own way, but with a slightly different feel.⁠

Try this gorgeous combo: the text and details are printed on thick paper with a foil stamp vellum overlay. Keep the front of the save the date simple, but add more wedding details to the back! Finish it all off with a custom envelope liner, and you have a save the date that your guests will be talking about for years!⁠
