Where RSVP Websites wins
One link: invitation and RSVP together
On Joy the invitation is a card that links to a separate website with its own RSVP page. Here guests open one link and reply on the same page.
No registry selling
Joy is free because it earns from registry purchases. We charge a flat £40 and sell nothing to your guests.
Your own web address included
Joy charges about $18 to $20 a year for a custom domain. yourname.invalia.io is included with us, and your own domain connects at no extra cost.
Every kind of event
Joy is for weddings. Our designs cover engagements, birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries and company events too.
