email

[ljeagle]

I have been going over my list of people I need to send invites to. I am missing about 20 home address that I need to be able to mail the invites. Would it be wrong if I would just make a letter and email it to all of them asking them for there mailing address? Or should I just call every one and ask them? It would be hard to get a hold of a few of them cause I have no ideal what the numbers are. Would it be tacky just to email them?

I think it would be totally fine to email them, especially the ones that you don't have their phone numbers. But, i'm totally useless in the etiquette department so maybe I should

I think it would be fine, I mean some sites suggest you e-mail save the dates so I don't see anything wrong with e-mailing and askign for addresses.

I say, call whoever you can call, email as a last resort. Email is a passive way of getting the information you need UNLESS you know they always check their email.

I don't know how acceptable it is, etiquette-wise, and I agree w/ cru5h about it being a passive way of getting the info but I'm one of those people who you can hardly ever get on the phone. Send me an email, and you'll get a response right away... I'm a freak.

FWIW, I aslo think it's better via email b/c you have the address in writing -- less likelyhood of misspelling something -- and b/c you can keep a copy of it in your email program if you somehow misplace your address list.

Agree with Cru5h. If anyone doesn't check their email- and you don't get the adress.. could be a problem later.

I would email those people and tell them you are creating a new address book and that their addresses are needed. I don't see anything wrong with that. I do that every Christmas because I lose addresses EVERY YEAR. I guess I need a new address book huh? If only my friends (people like me, hehe) would stop moving every few months. haha.

Try www.phonenumber.com you can search for people using their name or phone number and if it's listed with the phone company... will give you their address

Another new search engine that I am not too happy about is www.zabasearch.com

It gives out WAY too much information in my opinion.

[cru5h]

zabasearch has me listed at an address from 3 years ago

That zaba search is cool but it wasn't no help it gave me to many past mailing address. really don't know what ones is right. It put my mothers name in there just to see what would come up. It had her address for 2 hours away that I own the property for. I have never lived there and I don't even think she has every been there. Thats just to funny!

I don't see a problem with emailing the people you KNOW are online daily anyway. My aunt emailed me for my cousin's wedding and I certainly had no problem with it. The "older" relatives you might want to call, though.
