Trying to stay organized with wedding addresses, any suggestions on a program to use?

Question

Thinking excel might be a good choice, but i just need something to keep them all in order

Answer 1

I started out using www.theknot.com but then I found www.weddingwire.com.  They have a lot more options on what you can do with your guest list and even seating.  I wish I had known about the site earlier in my planning.  You should check it out.

Answer 2

I used Excel for all my wedding information.  It kept them organized and was easy to sort through.

Answer 3

best program to use is google spreadsheets   it works just like excel  but you can access it from any computer,   then both the bride and the groom can access it and update it.  since the spreadsheet will be saved online all changes are made instantly.   then you can share with other people (like you parents  to have them put in addresses of the people they are inviting ie family members)

this is what i did it made life very easy, since i was able to work on the list at work and at home and not worry about having the correct version  

Answer 4

If you go to www.theknot.com and create a log-in (free) they have a place to enter all of your address and keep track of rsvp, gifts, and thank you cards.

Also, www.perfectweddingguide.com has it.

Answer 5

Excel would be a good choice. Just to keep addresses organized. Or if you are more of a writing/physical person, an address book.

Answer 6

I use Excel and organized everything for the wedding.  For my guests I made a spreadsheet with the following headings:  Last name, First name, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone, Email Invite prepared (Y/N), Invite sent (y/n), RSVP received (y/n), Expected Guests from household, Confirmed guests from household. Then I made formulas to total the expected # of guests and the confirmed # of guests.  

Answer 7

Personally I just used microsoft word, and divided it up into a "his and hers" side. Next to each name I did a column for RSVP accepts/declines, then another column for gift given and thank you note sent. I also made sure it was all alphabetized. I've heard excel is much easier, but I didn't know how to use it at the time, so I stuck with what I knew, which was Word.  

Answer 8

Excel is probably your best bet or some computers even come with a programed Address Book.

Answer 9

Sign up on Martha Stewart's wedding site.  There's a "Guests" function that lets you create a listing for each "Party" - say "The Does" and then list "Jane Doe" and "John Doe" as the guests.  You can then choose what events each guest will be participating in (showers, wedding, reception etc) and track whether they need hotels, etc.
