The Greenvelope alternatives couples compare for wedding invitations are The Digital Envelope, Wedvite, InviteDrop, Evite, Bliss & Bone, Paperless Post and Joy, and the cheapest one for you depends mostly on how many times you will send to the same list. Greenvelope charges once per mailing by guest band, $99 for up to 100 guests on a page last updated September 17, 2026, so a save the date in the spring and the invitation in the summer are two purchases unless you take a yearly membership. Below, every service is priced for one send and for two sends to the same 100 guests. The Digital Envelope is our company; all other figures come from each company's own page, read on September 22, 2026.

wedvite.net/pricing, read Sep 22, 2026How Greenvelope charges for a save the date and an invitation
Their pricing page describes a single mailing as a one-time purchase that covers one send, priced by band from $19 for up to 20 guests to $499 for up to 1,000, with $99 covering 100. Sent separately to the same 100 people, a save the date and an invitation are two single mailings: $198.
The same page offers annual memberships, from $60 up to $755 a year, covering unlimited mailings for one year as long as each mailing is for a unique purpose, and it says couples sending both usually do better with a membership. The tier for up to 150 guests per mailing is $225 a year. At exactly 100 guests, two single mailings come to $27 less than that tier; from a third mailing to the same list, the membership is the lower figure.
Each price includes the templates, an animated envelope with a personalized liner, stamp and background music, RSVP tracking, survey questions, automatic reminders, guest messaging and no ads, and a free trial sends to up to 10 people. Their FAQ says no refund is possible once the invitation has been sent. How long a sent card stays editable is not confirmed on their site as of September 22, 2026: the pricing page and FAQ do not say, and the support page we tried did not load. For one mailing to a list inside a band, $99 buys a complete package.
One send and two sends to 100 guests, on every service
Rates as displayed on each site on September 22, 2026. The second column is what the page shows; the third is our arithmetic from it.
| Service | How it bills | One mailing | Save the date + invitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greenvelope (baseline) | per mailing by guest band, or a yearly membership | $99 | $198 as two single mailings, or $225 a year on the membership for up to 150 guests per mailing |
| The Digital Envelope (our service) | per invitation; a Save the Date is credited toward it | $99 Classic (up to 100 guests replying) or $199 Signature | $29.99 now plus $69.01 later, $99 in all on Classic ($199 on Signature), on one link |
| Wedvite | flat, unlimited guests; save the date sold separately | $89 | $89 + $19 = $108 |
| InviteDrop | Event Pass sized by invitation count | $44.99 (Event Pass Pro, up to 100) | $89.98 if each send is its own event; Pro is $249.99 a year for unlimited events |
| Evite | free designs, or Premium per event by guest band | $0 on free designs; $99.99 Diamond, since Platinum stops at 75 | $199.98 as two Diamond events; Pro is $249.99 a year |
| Bliss & Bone | per recipient, charged at each send | $90 ($0.90 x 100) | $180 |
| Paperless Post | coins per recipient, by design tier | about $50, $105 or $144 by paid tier; $0.00 on free designs; first 50 invitations through the site free | about $100 to $288 on paid tiers; Paperless Pro from $250 a year for 250 guests |
| Joy | free cards and website | $0 on the free designs | $0 |
Two-send sums are multiplied from the rates on each page; no service states them as a package price. Wedvite's page has its own 100-guest table, which we did not copy.
The Digital Envelope: the save the date and the invitation share one link
We make 31 digital wedding invitations in six collections, each an animated scene with music that starts as the guest breaks the seal, and replies come one per household with a meal and allergies for every person. Classic is $99 for up to 100 guests replying; Signature is $199 with no guest limit, your own photograph on the first screen, 20 songs and the guest photo album.
Our Save the Date costs $29.99 and lives at the link the invitation will use. Ordering Classic or Signature later with the same email takes the $29.99 off, so both sends total $99 or $199. There is no free tier, though a draft with your names can be built on the trial page without a card; you send the link yourself, and reminders go from your own phone, not automatically.
Wedvite: flat invitation, save the date priced apart
Wedvite charges $89 once for unlimited guests, and its digital save the date is a separate $19 product, so the pair costs $108. Music ($10), a wax seal ($15), each extra language ($10) and a venue sketch ($15) are optional, up to $139 with everything, and the first 10 guests can be shared with before paying. The page says its prices were verified on September 15, 2026.
InviteDrop: the smallest single receipt
Event Pass Pro is $44.99 for up to 100 invitations, the lowest one-mailing figure in the table, and Event Pass Unlimited is $74.99. Should the save the date be set up as a second event, two Pro passes total $89.98; InviteDrop Pro at $249.99 a year covers unlimited events up to 1,000 guests each. Every event includes 5 free invitations.
Evite: priced per event, up to 750 guests
Premium runs Silver $17.99 (12 guests), Gold $36.99 (30), Platinum $68.99 (75) and Diamond $99.99 (750), so a list of 100 means Diamond, and two Premium events at that band are $199.98. Evite Pro, $249.99 a year, covers unlimited invitations with up to 2,500 guests each. What guests see on Evite's free and paid tiers, and how its replies are counted, is covered on our Evite alternatives page.
Bliss & Bone: charged again at every send
Bliss & Bone bills per recipient when you send: $1.20 each for 1 to 9, $0.90 for 10 or more, $0.70 at 300 or more. One send to 100 guests is $90, and the save the date plus the invitation come to $180 at that rate. Designing is free before purchase, and the page lists updates to event details after sending at no charge.
Paperless Post: coins for each recipient
Paperless Post shows four tiers per guest: Free $0.00, Basic $0.50, Premium $1.05, All Access $1.44, and lets the first 50 invitations sent through the site go out free on the free feature set. At the paid rates, two sends to 100 guests run from about $100 to $288, and Paperless Pro starts at $250 a year for 250 guests. More services priced against it are in Paperless Post alternatives.
Joy: both sends at no cost
Joy's page says its digital wedding invitation designs are free to send, as are its wedding website, planning tools, registry and online RSVP, so a save the date and an invitation on free designs cost $0. No digital card price was stated on September 22, 2026. Guests reply on the website the card links to.
Where a flat price comes out ahead
A per-recipient price is charged again at every send; a per-wedding price is not. At 100 guests and two sends, the per-recipient services land between about $100 (Paperless Post Basic) and $288 (All Access), with Bliss & Bone at $180, and Greenvelope sits at $198 or $225. The per-wedding prices come to $99 on our Classic with the Save the Date credited and $108 on Wedvite. InviteDrop stays lower still at $89.98 if both sends are separate events, and Joy is free. With a single send and no save the date, the order changes: InviteDrop ($44.99) and Paperless Post Basic (about $50) lead.

Questions people ask
- Is there a free alternative to Greenvelope?
- Yes. Joy's digital wedding cards, website and RSVP are free, so neither a save the date nor an invitation costs anything there. Evite's free designs cost nothing to send, and Paperless Post sends the first 50 invitations on free designs without a purchase. Greenvelope's own trial goes to up to 10 recipients.
- What is cheaper than Greenvelope for 100 guests?
- For a single mailing, read September 22, 2026: InviteDrop's Event Pass Pro at $44.99, Paperless Post's Basic tier at about $50, Wedvite at $89 and Bliss & Bone at about $90, against Greenvelope's $99. With a second mailing the per-recipient services double while Wedvite adds only its $19 save the date.
- Does Greenvelope charge for a second mailing?
- Yes, on single-mailing pricing each send is its own purchase, so two sends to 100 guests are $198. Their page says couples sending a save the date and an invitation usually do better with an annual membership, which covers unlimited mailings for a year when each has a unique purpose; the tier for up to 150 guests per mailing is $225.
- Is Greenvelope a subscription?
- Not by default. Single mailings run from $19 for up to 20 guests to $499 for up to 1,000, and the annual membership for unlimited mailings runs from $60 up to $755 a year. Both are on their pricing page, last updated September 17, 2026.
- Do I pay twice for a save the date and an invitation?
- On Greenvelope's single-mailing prices, yes: $198 for 100 guests, or $225 a year on a membership. With us it is two purchases on one link, but the $29.99 Save the Date comes off the invitation when you order it with the same email, so the pair totals $99 on Classic. Wedvite adds $19 for its save the date.
- Does Greenvelope refund after sending?
- Their FAQ says that once the invitation has been sent they cannot issue refunds, because the service has been used.
- Do guests need an account to reply on Greenvelope?
- Greenvelope's FAQ says guests never need an account to RSVP. We did not confirm the same point on every other site on September 22, 2026, so check the help pages of the service you choose.
- What is the best Greenvelope alternative for wedding invitations?
- It turns on how many times you send. For a save the date and an invitation on one price, our Classic at $99 with the Save the Date credited, or Wedvite at $108 for the pair. For the smallest single receipt, InviteDrop at $44.99. For nothing to pay, Joy. For many mailings in one year, Greenvelope's own membership.
