What's inside
Guests write the names for the envelope and their address. Anyone who expects to come, or hopes to, says how many are in their party.

Getting addresses before the invitations
Send this six to eight months before the wedding, or up to a year ahead for a weekend away. The date goes out first, and the addresses come back while you still have time to order printed invitations.
The envelope question asks for names exactly as guests want them written, so “Dr. Ana and Luis Ortega” arrives spelled right. Street, city, postal code and country sit in separate fields, which keeps the list easy to export and print from.
The likely-to-come question is a planning signal, not an RSVP. Use the yes and maybe counts to size the venue, then ask for the real answer with a wedding RSVP form once the invitations are out.
Share the link in the group chat, by text or in an email from both families. Add your wedding website or the city in the intro if guests will need to book travel early.

Why collect addresses with a form instead of a spreadsheet?
Guests type their own address, so nobody copies it from a message by hand. Each reply lands as one row with the envelope names and every address line in its own column, ready to export as a CSV file for your printer.
Can couples reply together?
Yes. One reply per household works best: the envelope field holds both names, and the party size question counts everyone at that address who plans to come. Ask adult children who live elsewhere to send their own reply, since they get their own invitation. Kids who live at home count in the party size and only go on the envelope if you name them.
Is this the same as an RSVP?
No. It announces the date and gathers addresses and an early sense of numbers. The final yes or no, meals and plus-ones belong in the RSVP you send with the formal invitation. Expect a few “Hoping so” guests to drop out later, so count them loosely. Keep the email answers, since they let you send the RSVP link to the same people.
