Want to save a ton of time? Let’s make that happen! With Joy, you can print recipient and return addresses directly on your envelopes for free. No more hand cramps – we’ve got you covered for Save the Dates, Invitations, Thank You Notes, and Holiday Cards!
Collecting Addresses
Before we can work our printing magic, we need addresses! Our Contact Collector is like your own personal address-gathering assistant. Share a link and sit back while your friends and family fill out a simple form. Boom! Their contact details land right in your Joy guest list. (Want a full Contact Collector walkthrough? Check out this guide.)
Once the addresses are in your guest list, you’re ready to roll with envelope addressing!
Note: If you added addresses through an RSVP question, without using the Contact Collector, you might need a little extra help getting them formatted for envelope printing. Shoot us a message at printsupport@withjoy.com. We’ll help sort out any formatting hiccups.
Return Addressing
You’re in charge here! Choose where you want your return address – either the top left of the envelope front or the back flap. Then, pick a typography style you love, and that’s it! The style you choose will apply to both your return and recipient addresses. Add your return address, and you’re good to go.
Recipient Addressing
Ready to address those envelopes? Here’s how:
Opt in to recipient addressing by selecting the Front address placement
Click "Next: Recipients" to select and preview your recipients.
Scroll down to see the available recipients in your guest list.
Select your recipients by checking the box next to their name.
Don’t have recipients yet? No worries! Use the Contact Collector, or add them one by one by clicking "Add New Recipient.
If guests are grouped into households, they’ll be shown with a gray circle. You only need one card and envelope per household (unless they have separate addresses).
Click on the recipient’s name to view the envelope preview.
Want to add a title or family name? Click "Edit Guest Details" and update the Envelope Name field. Add family names like “The Smith Family” or titles like “Dr. and Mrs.” It’s that easy!
Missing an address? Click "Add Missing Address"
If you don’t have the address handy, we can still print the name, and you can fill in the address by hand later. If you know the address is in your guest list but can’t find it, we can help with formatting. Just email us at printsupport@withjoy.com.
Now go forth and address those envelopes – the easy way!

No problem! We can help address your envelopes after placing your order. Here's how it works:

Reach out to printsupport@withjoy.com within 24 hours of placing your order to let us know you will be sharing your addresses on a spreadsheet. This is so we can pause your order and make sure it doesn't go to print without the addresses.
