A full sheet of 30 printed-style address labels filled in from the card list, shown with example households

Who it's for

Households that mail about 30 to 150 cards a year and either address envelopes by hand or fight with a mail merge each December. If that's you, the labels are the reason to buy it.

What you get

  • Addresses: room for 200 households, with a name for the envelope, a group, the address, and Sent and Got one columns for 4 years. A "Send a card?" choice skips someone for a year without deleting them.
  • Labels: one label per household on standard 30-per-sheet, 1 x 2-5/8 inch US Letter sheets. Print this year's list, or only the people who sent you a card and haven't had one back.
  • Summary: pick the card year to see sent so far, still to send, skipped, received, and progress by group.
  • Example: a tab of made-up households, so you can see how it works. Your own tabs start empty, and nothing is locked.

What works where

AppStatus
Microsoft Excel on a computerWhat it's made for. Formulas and print layout are checked by automated tests; it hasn't been opened in every Excel version.
Google SheetsNot tested yet, so we don't claim it works there.
Apple Numbers, phones and tabletsNot tested.

Print your first sheet on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet before loading labels, since printers can shift slightly. Print at 100% (Actual size).

When a different product suits you better

If you mainly want gift budgeting, a combined gift and card tracker will fit better. If you plan in Google Sheets, this one isn't ready for you yet.
