If you don't have it, let me know and I will email you another one.Today’s author, Eric Patterson, a Program Manager on the Excel team, describes how to use Excel Tables as a source for a mail merge – a great productivity tool for sending out holiday greeting cards! 🙂 Eric wrote this before the holidays but unfortunately I was out of the office and didn’t get to post this until now. First thing is to open up the sample file I sent you. Because a lot of my couples have never had to do this before, I've broken it down into a couple of explanatory photos to help you along. Please be sure to double check all spelling, use capital letters when appropriate, and use proper punctuation in order to ensure that everything looks beautiful and professional when completed. I do not accept them in any other format than Excel, and I will not be formatting or editing your file before printing, so please be sure to do your best to set it up properly. Got them? Ready? Let's do this! In order to properly print your addressing I must have your addresses set up for me in a specific manner, in an Excel spreadsheet. I'll give you a few minutes to run off and collect everything. So you'll have the oh-so-fun joy of tracking down addresses - yipee!! (for an easy way to start gathering addresses, you may want to check out ) Your parent's may have the basis for you (if they're like my mom was though, it's in an old-school, handwritten address book!), and you'll most likely have to reach out to more than half of your guest list for mailing addresses, because let's face it - we live in a different era now, one that doesn't rely on traditional correspondence as much as that of generations past. gathering, sorting and cataloging all of the addresses for your guest list is probably going to be the hardest, and most tedious task for most couples. Did you know that about 90% of Funky Olive couples include Guest + Return addressing as part of their order? Whether it's part of their package ( that VIP Posh Package is pretty dang awesome!), the addressing is included because they've hit a certain price point, or it's been added a la carté, letting us take care of your address printing is such a great idea - not only does it look so chic and totally completes the look of your invitations in a polished and professional way, but it's also such a huge time-saver.īUT, I'm not going to lie.
