In their own words
Joy (WithJoy)
Joy combines a wedding website, registry, and planning dashboard for couples and their guests. Its free dashboard includes a guest list, online RSVP tools, and website features. Couples can assemble a registry with Joy Shop products, gifts from other stores, and cash funds; cash contributions can use Venmo, PayPal, or Cash App, while card payments go through Stripe. Guests can use the mobile app to add photos to a shared album and leave messages in a virtual guest book. The app also provides travel details, map integrations, accommodation booking, and ride-sharing integrations. Google Maps previews can show directions for schedule events. Couples can password-protect event pages and manage whether events appear in Joy search or search engine results, though search engines may take a few days to a few weeks to reflect indexing changes. Email messaging is free; text delivery and scheduled messages require the paid Messaging Plus upgrade. Card contributions carry a 3.5% processing fee paid by the guest and a $1.70 fee to transfer the Stripe balance. Joy is available on the web, Android, and iOS.
