Joy (withjoy.com) offers wedding websites, a registry and an app for guests, along with guest list and RSVP tools. Addressed takes a different approach to the same guests: it texts them, so nobody has to open a website or install anything to answer.
What Joy is
Joy is known for wedding websites, a registry, and a mobile app couples and guests can use for wedding details and updates. Guests RSVP through the couple's Joy website or app.
What Addressed does
- Guests RSVP by replying to a text message. No app, account or login for guests.
- An AI reads replies like "yes, two of us, fish please" and records the RSVP, party size and meal choice.
- Collects guests' mailing addresses by text, ready for save-the-dates, invitations and thank-you cards.
- Automatic reminders go only to guests who haven't answered yet.
- WhatsApp messaging on every paid plan, with automatic fallback to SMS when WhatsApp can't deliver.
- Multi-event weekends: welcome drinks, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and brunch, each with its own RSVP.
- CSV exports of addresses, headcounts and meal choices for stationers, caterers and resorts.
- Free for one event with up to 75 guests; paid plans per event or monthly.

Frequently asked questions
Do guests need an app to RSVP with Addressed?
No. Guests reply to a text message. They can also tap a mobile-friendly link to fill in details like their address, but there is nothing to install and no account to create.
Can I keep my Joy wedding website?
Yes. Addressed doesn't make wedding websites or registries, so you can keep Joy for those and use Addressed for text-message RSVPs and address collection.
