Meals, plus-ones and dietary notes

Caterers want one clean count. Plus-ones and meals are answered in the same reply as the RSVP, so the count is right from the first week.

Step by step

Edit Event → Plus-ones & meals. Turn on Allow plus-ones if guests may bring someone.
Under Meal options, add each dish as the guest will see it ("Short rib", "Sea bass", "Garden risotto"). Renaming a dish later keeps everyone's choice.
Save. From then on the invitation and the guest page ask for the plus-one's name and a meal for each person.
A guest can answer by text: "bringing Mark, fish for me, chicken for him, he's allergic to nuts" saves the plus-one, both meals and the dietary note.
The guest list shows party size, the plus-one's name and each meal; dietary notes sit on the guest's record.
Export the list when the caterer asks; the meal columns are included.

Only a guest who is coming can have a plus-one or a meal; a "no" clears them.
If a guest names a dish that is not on the menu, Addressed asks them to pick from the ones you offer.

What guests see and how the list fills itself in: The text, the reply, and the page behind the link. No app, no account.
Weekend items: a yes or no for each event: Welcome drinks, the ceremony, the boat day, brunch, each with its own headcount.
Add guests and send the first text: One guest or a whole spreadsheet, the text preview, and what each status means.
