Facts with a date, not adjectives

Each page below puts our invitation next to one other service: what it costs, how guests open it, how they reply, what moves, what stays online. Every line about the other service was read on their own site on the date shown, and the rows where we come out ahead are marked.

How we compare

We look at the same things on every page. Price for a real guest list, not the headline number: what a couple pays to send one invitation to a hundred households and collect their replies. How the invitation arrives: a link in a text message, an email, or a card inside an app. What a guest has to do to reply: open a page, or create an account first. What the couple gets back: names, meals, allergies, a headcount, and whether those replies can be shared with a partner or planner. Whether the invitation moves, plays music, and shows the couple's own photo. And how long the link stays online after the wedding.

Three ways digital invitations are priced

Almost every service charges in one of three ways. Some are free and earn elsewhere, usually through a registry or a wedding website with their name on it. Some charge per guest or per send, so the price grows with the guest list and changes again if the couple sends a reminder or a second round. Some charge once for the invitation, whatever the guest count. The Digital Envelope is the third kind: Classic is $99 for replies from up to 100 guests, Signature is $199 with no guest limit and the couple's own photo on the first screen, and a Save the Date is $29.99. One payment, no subscription, and the link stays online through the wedding day and for a year after. The exact price of each other service, on the date we read it, is on its own page.

A word on fairness

These pages are written by the people who make The Digital Envelope, so read them as an informed opinion, not a neutral review. We keep them honest in three ways: every claim about another service links to the page on their site where we read it; every page carries the date of that reading; and we say plainly where the other service is the better choice, for example when a couple wants a full wedding website or a printed set to match.
