How do you organize addresses
Random question of the day, how do your organize the addresses of friends and family?
Right now I have various spreadsheets in excel, made up of the lists from our wedding invtes (which many are now out of date since it was almost 3 yrs ago) and the excel file of people we sent Xmas cards to.
It's a big mess though and I need a new system. Was wondering what everyone else does to keep track of these things. We always had a central address book growing up that my mom kept everyone's info in, but in today's electronic age that just doesn't seem to make sense to me...
Re: How do you organize addresses
haha! This is exactly what we have too! Each year for Christmas cards I copy the previous year's worksheet & re-label, then update any addresses that changed (and highlight the ones I changed in yellow).

great question.
i think i'm inspired by Melozia. I need to create a new spreadsheet with updated addresses and family additions (i have that separately right now) . i might do that while i'm home sick today since it doesn't take much energy.
thanks for the inspiration!
As christmas or wedding invites or personal mails arrived I save the envolope and stuff it into the book and once a month or so I go through and update the book.
I tried speadsheets and emails but I would forget to save it or update it and then lose the info.
I use a paper address book too, it's bright blue so it can't get lost. ?When mail comes from people, I cut off their return addresses to double check that I still have a current one.
People who own homes are written in ink, people who rent (students and vagrant friend types) are in pencil. ?That way they don't end up taking the whole 'M' section or something. ?
I had my wedding invites in excel, but it became out of date and I find the paper one handy for traveling (though I often just copy a "postcard list" onto a sheet stashed in my purse).
