Who can see our address book?

Only the two of you. Both partners can read and change it, and the changes show for each of you. A planner or family member you've invited to the rest of your plan can't open it, and nobody else can see an address. Notes you add to a person are private to the two of you too.

Can guests change their own address?

Yes, if you send them the check-your-address link. They see only their own household, the address you have for it, and a form. They can confirm it or correct it, and nothing else in your book is reachable from their link. The link works for 60 days, and each household can be asked once a year.

What if someone asks to be removed?

A guest can use Remove my details on their RSVP page. Their address, email, phone and notes are cleared from your book, the row shows as A former guest, and bringing in changes from your guest list won't add them back. You decide what to do about any card you had planned.

Is the address book free?

Yes. The book, sharing it with your partner, the yearly card log, the spreadsheet (CSV) and the contacts file (vCard) are free, and they stay while your account is open. Plus adds emailing the check-your-address link for you, and printing address labels and a styled list.

A wedding address book you both keep up to date

Every guest's address, made from your guest list. Share it with your partner, log who got a card each year, and export it.

Your guest list already holds most of your guests' addresses. The address book keeps a copy that you and your partner look after together, so thank-you cards, holiday cards and birth announcements go to the right door.

Free for both of you, and kept while your account is open.

How to keep a wedding address book in 4 steps

Bring in your guest list. Sign in and open the address book. It makes a copy of every household on your guest list, with the mailing addresses you already have, so nothing is typed twice. Your guest list is never changed.
Fill in the gaps. Show Missing address and add what is missing. Give a household the name you want on the envelope, add a neighbor or an aunt who isn't a guest as a contact, and mark anyone you'd rather not write to as Don't send.
Ask guests to check their own. Get a private link for a household and send it yourself, or, with Plus, let us email it. The guest sees the address you have, taps This is right or fixes it, and your book updates.
Log your holiday cards each year. Pick the Holiday cards list and the year. Tick We sent when a card goes out and They sent when one arrives. Next year, start the list from last year's and carry on.

What the address book is

It is your own copy of your guest list's names and addresses, plus anyone who isn't a guest: a neighbor, a coworker, an aunt who moved last spring. You and your partner both keep it up to date, and what one of you changes shows for the other. It is where thank-you cards, holiday cards and birth announcements get their addresses.

Each household can have a name for the envelope ("Mr. and Mrs. Patel"), a greeting for your notes ("Liz and Tom") and a Don't send mark for anyone you'd rather not write to, because of a death, a falling-out or a request. Anything marked Don't send is left out of every list, label, export and email.

Your guest list stays as it is. Adding a contact never changes your RSVP counts, your seating chart or the caterer's sheet, because those only read the guest list.

The yearly card log

Make a list for each kind of card: Holiday cards and Birth announcement are there to start with, and you can add your own. Pick the list and the year, then tick We sent when a card goes out and They sent when one arrives. You'll see how many you've sent, such as 34 of 58.

When the next year comes, start its list from last year's. The households that were on it come across with both boxes empty. You can download the whole log as a spreadsheet at any time.

Check your address

Addresses go out of date, and the guests who've moved are the ones who don't tell you. For any household you can get a private link and send it yourself. The guest opens it on their phone, with no account, and sees the address you have for them. They tap This is right, or correct it.

With Plus, we can send the link by email for you. We send one email, and only after you've pressed Send on a screen that shows exactly who it goes to. It has nothing in it but your names, one plain question and a button. A household can be asked once a year, and never if it is marked Don't send.

What your guests see

A short page for their household only: your names, the address you hold for them, and two buttons. The form fits the country they live in, so a guest in Canada or the UK sees the layout they know, and a US guest sees ZIP code and State. It says one plain thing about what happens to their address:

Your address goes only to Alex and Sam, for their invitations, thank-you cards and their address book.

They can't see anyone else's address, your notes or your guest list.

Your privacy

The address book belongs to the two of you. Planners and viewers you invite to the rest of your plan can't open it. Private notes never leave the book: they aren't in the spreadsheet, the contacts file or the labels. If you leave Merriwell, you can download everything first.
