Most guest lists start in a spreadsheet, and for good reason: it's free and flexible. The trouble starts when you have to fill it in. Every address, RSVP and meal choice has to be chased by message and typed in by hand. Addressed does the chasing and the typing for you.
What a spreadsheet is
A shared spreadsheet such as Google Sheets or Excel is the default wedding guest list. It holds whatever columns you want, but it can't contact guests, remind them or update itself.
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 a spreadsheet if
- Your guest list is small and you know everyone's details already.
- You enjoy tracking things by hand and don't mind the follow-up.
- You don't need to send anything to guests.
Choose Addressed if
- You're spending evenings texting people for their address.
- You want RSVPs and meal choices to fill in automatically as guests reply.
- You need reminders to go out without you sending each one.
- You still want a spreadsheet at the end: Addressed exports to CSV.
Using both
Start from your spreadsheet: import it into Addressed, let Addressed collect the missing details by text, then export a clean CSV for your stationer, caterer or resort.
