Okay so on my father's side we have cousins that we barely keep in touch with.. They def. don't know I am even engaged and I feel they should be on the guest list.. I want to send a STD but have no idea what all the cousin's adresses are... I was going to send an e-mail but how do you just out of the blue ask for everyone's address when you haven't spoken in at least a year... My father is no help... How would you girls approach this???

Well...you're going to have to face this situation at some point so better now then invitation time. Is there anyway your dad can help out to get them? Or how about an aunt or cousin that you do have info on - would they be able to help you? If you explain to them that you want to be sure to include everyone chances are they will be more than happy to help you.

Re: Weird situation
Yep, we say that since we are now engaged we are collecting addresses for our X-mas card list (total lie and dang, now I better get me some X-mas cards) but easy way for parents and ILS to get everyone's addresses! I am proud to say I am the deviant who came up with this.

Re: Weird situation
I am also collecting addresses saying they are for my holiday cards. Otherwise I would NEVER get the addresses I need and I also want my beautiful new home filled with cards on my first christmas here!

Re: Weird situation
I did that exact same thing just this past week. I went to my friends' wedding this past July and didn't have her new house address. I still haven't heard back from her yet, but hopefully it'll come in time for STDs!
