Filling out address envelopes at reception

I'm pretty relaxed about things myself, but if someone asked me to do this at a wedding reception I don't think I'd even bother filling it out.

What LillyBride said. How do you not already have those peoples addresses?!

No. Just don't. Bc I'd be that guest, reiterating exactly what I said up there ^^^ with a side of WTF??!!

For My invitations, most people who received an invitation from me were people close to me that I didn't actually know their addresses, but have known them for years. Those I handed out personally. The only invitations I had mailed out were to people who were too far away to personally hand them an invitation. These people I sent a text message about the wedding and asked to send their address so I could send them an official, physical invitation.

Maybe have them fill out a card with their name, address, and a personal note they would like to leave the Couple. That way its slightly more than just a way to get an address.

If GUESTS who will be fed, party, and were lucky enough to be personally invited to a wedding are going to get upset over writing down a short address and will just criticize the Bride for something like this, they don't deserve to be a witness to an event focusing on the LOVE of the COUPLE being CELEBRATED.

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately, you have it all backwards. There’s nothing wrong with hand delivering invitations but thank you notes are for gifts, not attendance. And the wedding reception is a thank you to guests for attending.


If a couple is too lazy to make even the minimum amount of effort required to get addresses, preferably ahead of time, then it’s they who are unappreciative. Not to mention thank yous are due as gifts are received and many people send them ahead of time.
