Online address book

Any good suggestions on online address book websites? I've started gathering addresses for save-the-dates and invites and want a convenient place to store them. It would be nice for it to have a feature to share a link with others so they can add their own address and to be able to easily export the lists. I was originally looking at Postable, but that got some bad reviews... any ideas?

I actually used the avery.com/templates to make address labels for all of our guests. I then saved the templates onto the account. Now instead of hand writing addresses for save the dates, invites, and thank you cards I will just print out the labels to attach. The guest list on the planning tools in wedding wire also has a way to export the addresses.

I just used google sheets to keep my addresses. Then I could easily copy them over to the template for the WW guest list for the RSVPs since that’s excel based.

I can't stop raving about The knot's wedding website. It has an "information collection tool" which is literally just a personalized link that you can text or email to any of your guests and it lets them fill in their own address and contact info. Then all you have to do on your end is hit the add button. Once their added theyre eligible to RSVP through the website. There's an export option as well. There are also options for you to check off when that person's invite was sent, to track their gift, and if you've sent them a thank you

I used google. I actually set up a google form (its free!) with the info I wanted to track (name, address, city, state, zip, country). Then I emailed the form to people to get them to populate their info (so no typos/mistakes since they put the data in). For my grandparents and older people in the fam, I put their info in for them.

then you can pull a spreadsheet with all the info and it’s in a standardized format. You can easily upload it to Minted or share it with a calligrapher.

After you have all the info in the spreadsheet you can manipulate it however you want... I added a column next to each name with the number of invited guests and had a formula at the top with the total. After invites went out I created another column where I listed the number of RSVPs and added those at the top.. I also added a column to track the hotels of out of town guests to deliver welcome gifts. Since I.ve added columns to track gifts and thank you notes. So it basically evolved through the planning process.
