i went through facebook mainly to get addresses. i don't think it's tacky cause how wlese are you supposed to get them :p
I tried my hardest to avoid asking people through facebook, text, and email but some addresses just couldn't be found otherwise.
i emailed or fb'd friends/family for the addresses that i didn't have. i live in another country so how else?
i didn't think there was proper protocol.
That's how I got most of my addresses!! Either that or text, or email :)
This was the most difficult thing! I think any way the addresses come in (even by donkey cart) they should be fine!
I got the majority of addresses from my personal address book (yay compulive Outlook usage and stockpiling Christmas card addresses) or my parents' pesonal address book (they still send snail mail). For FI's family, I was lucky that one of his close cousins is getting married in the near future and had an excel spreadsheet she was willing to share with me. The small remainder of addresses (e.g. FI's friends) we obtained via text.
I used Facebook and texts to get most of my addresses.. I think it's totally fine!
whitepages.com had all but ONE of my guests' addresses. It even had correct address for the people who were in rentals!
Give it a try. :)
Oh, we absolutely emailed/called/Facebook-ed for addresses. We did it in, like, January even though our wedding was in July because we sent save-the-dates.
The rule of thumb is to send your invites 6-8 weeks before the wedding. I think mine went out around 7 or 8 weeks.
I used, email, facebook, my mom, his mom, asking in person, carrier pigeon, etc. There's no one way to get this done. In my opinion, this was the most time consuming, exhausting process.
Yes. I've been stalking people on facebook for their addresses.
Family I got from my mom/his mom. My friends I had a lot buried in my gmail account and asked for the rest via email. For his friends, I took what could from the holiday cards we received, I emailed those of his friends that I knew to ask for them, and I made him ask the rest of them. Took forever for FI to get around to doing so though.
6-8 weeks is pretty standard for sending out invitations. Maybe a little longer if it's a destination wedding.
When I get addresses for Christmas cards I usually send out a text or FB message. It's faster and easier than playing phone tag or trying to meet up with everyone just to get their address. Also way better to get it directly from them then try to look it up. I've been asked over FB or text before. So far I haven't heard of anyone being offended!
I had to facebook some cousins and might have to for some others as well. I agree, If this is your only line of communication with the person and no one else has it, how else do you get their information?
I think facebook/email/texting/smoke signals/whatever is fine to get the addresses!
I think Facebook/text/email is more than acceptable these days to procure addresses. Especially for us, a good portion of the guests are in their early to mid-twenties and move around a LOT due to school/starting a career. The only way to trust I have the correct address is to get it from them directly.

I have our wedding invitations and I plan on taking them somewhere like Kinkos to print out the words soon...Our wedding is June 2nd and I'm also not sure when to send the invites out.
When is a good time?
But my main question is: is it okay to ask people through email or facebook what their address is so we can send them invites later on? What have you guys done to get addresses from your guests?
Thanks!
