Paperless Post is known for beautifully designed digital invitations and cards, with RSVP tracking on each invitation. Addressed is less about the invitation design and more about the follow-through: texting guests, collecting addresses and getting every RSVP back.
What Paperless Post is
Paperless Post offers designer digital invitations and greeting cards, as well as printed cards. Guests open the invitation and RSVP from it.
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.
Choose Paperless Post if
- The look of the invitation itself is your priority.

Using both
Some hosts use Addressed first, to collect mailing addresses and early RSVPs by text, then send a designed invitation. Addressed's Mailer Studio can also send handwritten save-the-dates and thank-you cards by post.

Frequently asked questions
Does Addressed send designed invitations?
Addressed sends invitations and updates by text, and every event has a themed guest page with a choice of layouts. For printed mail, Mailer Studio sends handwritten save-the-dates and thank-you cards. If an elaborate digital invitation design matters most, a dedicated invitation service may suit you better.
Can Addressed collect guests' mailing addresses?
Yes. Address collection is a core feature: guests reply by text or tap a link, and addresses come back ready to print and export to CSV.
