I would just send an email stating that you are updating your address book and wish to know everyone's address at this time.
No need to state it is for a wedding. :)

1) Ask your mother or someone in the family you are close with that may have an address book with your entire family's addresses in there and try that first.
2) I would next search the Internet for their address next
3) VERY last resort I would email them and ask.
People are funny like that - they will say, Hmmmmm - I'm good enough to attend a wedding and give money but, I'm not even worth a Christmas card. If you had their address you would have sent them Christmas cards.
I know it may become cumbersome - but, use EMAIL as the last resort!
Good luck - Congratulations!

Try to get as many of them as possible from your parents. You'll have to directly ask friends that your parents don't know their addresses. Just call (no emailing for this) and converse with them. You don't want to jump right in to "I need your address." Let them know that it would be wonderful if they would come to your wedding, and that you need their address to send an invitation.
NEVER ask someone who is not invited to your wedding for another persons address. The less stress in the process of planning your wedding the better.

For immediate family; sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, grandparents and even close aunts, cousins etc-Call them.
For other relatives, have your mother call them and ask for addresses. If you feel like you are going to offend them, simple state, "I'm just calling to double check your address, I don't want your invitation to the wedding to get lost."
Most likely, they won't be upset; rather excited that they will be receiving and invite.
Have your fiancee do the same for his side of the family.

Call your immediate family and ask if they have addresses for other family members, for friends - look through old emails for address changes or at 2006 X-Mas/holiday cards or just email or call them- they won't mind and it isn't in bad taste. Your family can be a lot of help to you. Split up names and get them to help and give them a deadline to get it to you - when they miss it, give them another!

Yeah. Ask for all "contact information (home phone, cell phone, physical address, & email address)"
You want to be a thorough as possible so you don't have to do it again and eliminate any follow-up you may have to do later. FYI: sending thank you cards aren't too cool over the web.
