Guest Address Frustrations

Brittney, on August 3, 2021 at 1:30 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

Not looking for advice, just need to vent haha
I’m beginning to get my invitations put together to send out at the end of the month. So far every single aspect of these invitations have given me problems. The one part that was meant to be easy we’re the outer envelopes that I ordered from LCI Paper. The envelopes are gorgeous and the white ink against the navy envelopes is perfect. I got my order in and as I was checking the quality, I realized I completely forgot that the best man moved out and his parents moved as well. Small hiccup but completely my own fault, and I have 4 extra envelopes to work with anyway. Then, I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a guest mention they were moving to a different state. Slightly frustrating but I just asked for that new address and put it with the envelopes to fix. Now today I get a message from someone else saying they forgot to mention they had moved as well. I wish I had confirmed everyone’s address before ordering. I’ve never even gone to a wedding before, much less plan one, so I’m definitely learning as I go. Any future brides on here I’m the same boat, MAKE SURE YOU CONFIRM WITH THE GUESTS BEFORE ORDERING 😭

    I'm so sorry this happened. I actually made a Facebook post and tagged my husband so his friends would also see asking if anyone moved since the save the dates were sent.

    Excellent idea!

    Yes that would be frustrating to have a number of old addresses, but the post office is good about forwarding to new addresses for those that are already mailed.

    I figure people aren't going to care if I write them myself or if they're some kinda fancy print or hand writing. I have decent legible writing maybe my mom can address envelopes, she has beautiful writing

    Hopefully most people file address-forwarding at the post office!
