Chasing down addresses is usually the most annoying part of the invitation phase. We'll show you how to collect every address in just a few days - no Excel chaos and no phone call marathon.

Why the Old Method No Longer Works

The old way: call your aunt, message your uncle, type addresses into Excel, deal with typos, forgotten people and duplicate entries. A huge time sink that can easily drag on for weeks.

Today it takes 3-5 days: you send a link, your guests enter their own address, done. You instantly have a clean, exportable list - without typos.

Step 1: Set Up an Address Collection Link

With Zweierteam, you can create an address collection form with its own link in 30 seconds - for free. If you like, you can greet your guests with a personal message.

Share the link via a WhatsApp group, email or as a QR code. Everyone clicks, fills in their details, done.

Step 2: Share the Link Smartly

The family WhatsApp group or your friends' group chat are the fastest channels. Anyone you can't reach there gets a short email or text with the link and a friendly note.

Tip: Set a deadline (e.g. "Please by next Sunday"). Clear deadlines work wonders. Plan for 2-3 friendly reminders.

Step 3: Sort & Link

After 1-2 weeks you'll have 80-90% of the addresses. Follow up personally on the rest. With Zweierteam, you assign each address directly to a guest on your guest list - so address and person are linked.

Several people from one household? One address entry, multiple guests - that saves on printing and postage.

Data Protection & Secure Storage

Addresses are personal data. That's why you should use a GDPR-compliant tool that stores data securely in Europe. At Zweierteam, everything runs on German/European infrastructure.

After the wedding, you can export or delete the addresses. They belong to you - not us.

What's the best way to send the address link?
WhatsApp and email are the fastest. For older relatives: send a text, give them a call or show them the QR code at the next family gathering.
What if someone doesn't respond?
Send no more than 2 friendly reminders, then call them personally or ask through family. Some people just need a little nudge.
Is the data secure?
With Zweierteam, yes - GDPR-compliant and stored in Europe. You can see all the data, export it and delete it at any time.
How much does the address tool cost?
At Zweierteam it's 100% free - including the link, QR code and export.
