Gathering Wedding Invitation Addresses Using Google Docs
13 Mar
We’re getting read to send out our wedding invitations within the next month. We have a few of the addresses that we need, but most of them we’ll need to get from our guests via phone or email.
We’ll be putting the addresses into a spreadsheet so we have everything in one place. So I decided to simply link a Google Spreadsheet to the email so that everyone could input their information directly into the spreadsheet. This eliminates all of the copy and pasting we would have to do maually. Now when our friends get our email they can open the spreadsheet and follow the format that’s already set up for name and address.
Here’s how to set this up:
1. Create a new spreadsheet in Google Docs and type in your column headings based on the information you want to gather
2. Save the spreadsheet with a unique ame
3. Click on “Share” in the top right, and then check the boxes for “Allow all others to view” and “Also allow them to edit.” Now you can copy and paste that link into an email or anywhere you’d like to share it with your friends. All the data that is entered will be updated automatically.
