No Computers or Excel Needed! A Simple and Fun Way to Collect Guest Addresses for Sending Invitations ♩

The Most Challenging Part of Sending Invitations is Gathering Addresses!

Invitations are a representative paper item for weddings.

When you start preparing the invitations, you really feel like the wedding preparations have begun in earnest!

What do you think is the hardest part about sending invitations?

To put it bluntly, it is…

"Collecting the names and addresses of all the guests!"

Not too long ago, it was common for friends and acquaintances to send New Year’s cards to one another, and many had address books containing each other’s names, addresses, and home phone numbers.

However, nowadays, even with close friends, it’s not uncommon to find “contact information is only available via LINE or social media,” “don’t know their address or phone number,” or “in fact, don’t even know how to write their name in kanji.”

Gathering the information for dozens of guests you want to invite to the wedding can be more challenging than you might imagine.

Budding Brides Also Cry Out! Gathering Addresses is This Laborious...

Common methods used by seasoned brides are:

1. First, send each person a message via LINE or social media saying, “I will send you a wedding invitation, so please tell me your name, address, and phone number!”

2. Copy and paste the received responses into Excel.

3. Once all the data is collected, input it into the order form.

You might be thinking, "What? That’s easy!"

However, when interacting one-on-one with a large number of people,

☑ Some people take a long time to reply

☑ They send their address but don't properly provide their name or postal code

☑ Mistakes occur when copying and pasting

☑ You end up recounting the number of guests multiple times

It’s best not to underestimate the stress involved....!

The number of "old kanji" characters in guests’ names can also lead to mistakes and troubles.

For example, there are 7 variations for the character “Sai” in “Saito,” and more than 20 for the character “Nabe” in “Watanabe,” such as “邊,” “辺,” and “邉.”

Although you might not notice it typically, it is said that there are over 1200 old kanji characters that cannot be displayed or inputted on regular computers or smartphones!

Discovering later that "the kanji is incorrect!!!" and having to reprint at the last minute or reorder is a common mistake among brides.

Such labor-intensive tasks of gathering addresses, which have exhausted many seasoned brides in the past...

have been made much easier with a new service!!♡
