Making Guest List for Calligrapher - How did you do it??

I have to start the list for the calligrapher...I have a list already in excel - should i do it in word?? Can you alphabetize in word??

Alphabetize in excel, although, I did all the alphabetizing myself.

My caligrapher gave me a form to fill out

But know the way you want the inner and outer envelopes addressed

I didn't know I was suppose to alphabetize. I just used a template for mailing labels, where you get 5 boxes on right side and 5 on the left side. I put the outer envelope info on the left side and the inner envelope info next to it on the left side. It seemed to work out well.

i had mine in excel and had a column on notes...for instance, who was a rabbi or a doctor, which guest went with whom ,stuff like that. or you could just insert a row between names, so that the calligrapher will know who goes on one envelope. ie:

john smith 123 prospect ave.
mary reed 123 prospect ave.

bill flame
jane flame
tommy flame.

you get the idea.

I do calligraphy in my spare time (which is very minimal lately). As long as it is clear it should be ok. Typed in columns is best, and any notes or comments always help.

all calligraphers are different. we did it on ms word, not in alphabetical order.

I like the idea of an extra row or column for notes - that way can say something like 'all on one invite'

Thanks alot
Wasn't sure where to start
