Address Change

Make sure to register. That way, you can update the shipping address on your registry as needed.

What about getting a post office box until after your house is ready? That way you won't have things lost in the mail.

You could have all mail and packages forwarded to your new address for up to a year after your move. That's what we did. Check with your post office.

ETA: or have everything sent to your parents or a friends house until you know.

I'd have everything sent to a friend's/family member's house.

Oh I like the PO box idea. I don't want to burden friends with this and all of our family is out of the area/state. I wish I had posted this a few months ago because I just spent a small fortune having custom return envelopes and address labels made for the invites/RSVPs.

Thank you for the suggestions.

If you want them all to have your new address, you could have a small sign at your wedding, maybe next to the card box, that says "We're moving!" with your new address on that. Or put it on your wedding website or make a Facebook status that only your wedding guests can see.

Do you have a registry? You can set it up to change addresses after a certain date

PO box is your best bet for RSVPs..: gifts id have sent to a family members house

When you send thank yous after the wedding you could add "we've moved! You can find us at....". My cousin did that with their baby announcement cards they sent out! I know that doesn't help with mail before but it's a way to get the word out!

I would definitely look into a PO box for RSVPs!! Even with the change in address, the post office can be really slow and it can take WEEKS or more to get forwarded mail.

Make sure you update your registry address so that anything that is shipped gets sent to the correct address. I like other's suggestions to have gifts shipped to a close friend or family member's house, if that's an option.

I also like the idea @KisstheKochs had of sending out "we've moved!" cards in your thank-you's after the wedding.

Yes, we have a registry through Amazon and BBB. I also like the wedding website posting idea. I never thought about having a sign at the wedding with the new address. I have had " we've moved" address labels made in the past so I like the idea of using those on thank you notes.

Again I really appreciate the suggestions.
