When should I start collecting addresses for holiday cards?
It’s a good idea to start collecting addresses for your holiday cards a few months in advance. This gives you plenty of time to gather everyone’s information without feeling rushed. Plus, it’s a great way to stay organized and ensure that your cards arrive on time. By starting early, you can avoid last-minute stress and enjoy the festive season to the fullest.
Getting a late start? No worries! Joy’s Contact Collector is the fastest way to collect addresses with one link and store them in one safe place.
Save time by printing addresses on your card envelopes
By gathering everyone’s address in advance, you can have them pre-printed on the envelopes, making the mailing process a breeze. And the best part? With Joy holiday cards, this address printing service is completely free, adding even more convenience to your holiday card sending.
How to collect mailing addresses from your holiday cards: A step-by-step guide
- Sign up for a free Joy account.
- Design your personalized link, and choose from one of our beautiful designs or upload your own photo.
- Share your link wherever you connect with friends and family — text, email, social media, and messaging apps.
- Your contacts click the link, fill out a quick form, and their information magically appears in your guest list.
- From there, you can access your friends and family members’ contact info anytime at withjoy.com, on the Joy app, or export your list as a CSV.
How simple is that? There’s no need to waste time copying addresses from old envelopes. Simply share your link and watch as your address book fills up in real time.
Our customizable form templates ensure that each guest’s postal address is saved correctly and validated for both U.S. and international addresses, so you can trust that your holiday cards arrive without delay.
Your friends’ and family’s privacy is important. Joy will never reach out to your contacts without their permission or share data with a third party. Your data is yours alone.
More Tips for Collecting Addresses for Holiday Cards
No email? No problem.
Aside from email, you can share your address collector link with loved ones for gathering mailing addresses in any way that works best for you, including:
- Text message
- Group messaging on iMessage or Whatsapp
- Social media (Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Snapchat, etc)
- You can even fill out the form together when you see your loved ones in person
The address collector form allows your contacts to share their email address and phone number with you as well, so you’ll always know the best way to reach them.
Personalize your address collecting form
Our address collector form templates can be easily personalized to suit your style and needs. Choose from one of Joy’s beautiful animations or upload a picture. The link text is yours to customize, so make it as personal as you’d like.
Unlike Google forms or other online forms, Joy’s Contact Collector integrates seamlessly with your Joy guest list for future cards and event.
What about couples or families?
We recommend sending the address form to your primary point of contact to avoid duplicates of the same address on your guest list.
Once the primary point of contact is saved in your guest list, you can link two or more people together as a household.
If you accidentally end up with duplicates on your guest list, simply combine them with the click of a button.
Can contacts update their address later?
Yes, contacts can make updates to their addresses using the same magic link. Likewise, you can update addresses directly in the guest list.
What should I do once I’ve collected my addresses?
Your address collector form automatically saves your guests’ contact information to your Joy guest list, where you’ll have access to Joy’s to a huge variety of paper and digital holiday cards for all occasions.
Tip: Export your guest list as a spreadsheet at any time to share with family.
