Curious? Is it tacky to ask for addresses through FB Priv. msg?

I don't think its tacky.

No, I think that is fine. I have already done it too. Especially when I see someone online right then and there.

A PM conversation on FB is the same thing as a text conversation or a phone call. You're certainly allowed to ask for an address in any kind of private conversation, and that what a PM interchange is -- private. Go ahead and get your addresses that way. I can't imagine that a single person would be offended.

I messaged them for their email address on fb. Then used WW tool to email them the link to put in their own info. They can also RSVP that way.

Awesome, thanks everyone for the insight! I private messaged, individually, about 7 people who I needed addresses on (like my MOH's sister - keep forgetting to ask MOH when we are jibber jabbering, so I took hold of the reigns by getting it myself, people like that) - and everyone responded except said MOH's sister, haha ... I see pics of her this morning that she is tagged in and it looks like she had a pretty good night last night ... hence the only one who hasn't replied with their address yet. Thank you again for giving me your opinions!

No, it's fine. I have several friends that I keep in touch with online, but they moved after college and I have no idea what their street address would be, so I did that (and made DH do it for his friends). I think it's funny that you use your real estate background to research addresses-- I used to have to research land ownership for a property tax collection company, and I definitely use those skills now when I forget someone's address.

I literally just finished doing that with my fiancee for our Save the Dates. My heart dropped when I read the subject of this post and then PHEW so glad its all kosher.

That was the fastest and easiest way to get in touch with most of my guests. I think it's fine as long as it's in a private message, not a group message and not a public wall post.

I think it's fine as long as you aren't doing it in a status.

That's what I did! Private Facebook and IG direct messages. Ohh and texts too.

I'm planning on doing the same exact thing. I have quite a few from other events, but I'll still be texting, emailing, facebook messaging, and even IG direct messaging. I've figured whoever I talk to that we will be inviting it's easier to communicate via the same way we usually contact each other.

I think the only thing rude about asking people for their address on FB would be to post the question on your newsfeed and tag the people, but since you're private messaging them IMO it's not rude at all

I did. It works quite well!

Just in the finishing stages of doing this for my STD. I used everyway but carrier pigeon, phone calls, ask family for what addresses they have, FB message, gmail chat, text... Still missing about 15 but it made getting the 150 some addresses tons easier than I expected. Now to actually address the STD...

I did it and it worked out perfectly!

I think it's fine since it is a private conversation. If you were posting a status and asking people to comment I would think that is a little tacky but the way you are doing it is just fine. I had a mix of texting people and facebooking.

If it is "tacky" then who cares.. i think most of the WW girls myself include have done that. Nothing wrong with asking on private message..just don't write on their public wall...

Weddingwire and paperless posts both have those features to gather addresses though. That is if you have their email. For people I had an email for that's what I used (well Save the dates were through paperless posts and then I asked for the address...) for those that i don't have an email for (pretty much cousins) i went to the facebook route....I think I even texted a few people for their address.

I did that since a lot of my cousins are on there, but I understand what you mean. No one seemed irked by it, I got all the info I needed.

I did it for my cousins and out of contact relatives i didn't have numbers for. Others i texted or called
