Zola is an all-in-one wedding planning brand best known for its registry, wedding websites and stationery. Addressed does one narrower job: it texts your guests and collects RSVPs, mailing addresses and meal choices for you. They overlap on the guest list and RSVPs, and they work well together.
What Zola is
Zola offers a wedding registry, wedding websites, invitations and paper goods, and planning tools including a guest list. Guests usually RSVP by visiting the couple's wedding website.
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 Zola if
- You want your registry, website and stationery from one company.
- Your guests are happy to visit a wedding website to RSVP.
- You mainly need planning tools rather than help reaching guests.
Choose Addressed if
- Guests aren't answering emails or visiting the website, and you're chasing RSVPs one by one.
- You need mailing addresses before save-the-dates go out.
- Your guests are spread across countries and you want to reach them by SMS or WhatsApp.
- You're hosting a multi-event weekend and need a headcount for each event.
Using both

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Addressed and Zola together?
Yes. Addressed doesn't offer a registry or a wedding website, so many couples keep Zola for those and use Addressed to collect addresses and RSVPs by text.
Is Addressed a replacement for Zola?
Not entirely. Addressed covers guest communication, RSVPs and address collection. It is not a registry, a vendor marketplace or a stationery shop.
