Evite alternative

An Evite alternative for families whose guests live on WhatsApp: a quinceañera, wedding or baptism invitation with its own link, music, map, countdown and RSVP, in English or Spanish. Preview it free; pay $15 once only if you publish it, whether you invite 40 people or 400.

Why people look for an Evite alternative

Evite is a well-known tool, and for a lot of parties it does the job. Still, people who search for an Evite alternative usually have one of four reasons, and none of them is that Evite is broken.

What InvitaciónYa is, in one line

InvitaciónYa (invitacionya.com) makes digital invitations that are a web page with their own link, like invitacionya.com/i/xv-valentina, which you send by WhatsApp, text, email or Messenger and which opens in any phone's browser.

Many of the more than 80 designs open with an animation (a wax-seal envelope, a ring box, a boarding pass, a carriage) and then play music. Also, a few open with a real video cover, like Grand Theatre, where a velvet curtain parts. However, to be clear: you don't get an MP4 file to download; the "video" is the invitation page opening.

What the table leaves out

One thing the table leaves out on purpose is language. We couldn't confirm on Evite's pages whether it offers invitations in Spanish, so we won't guess. On our side, by contrast, the editor and the invitation's buttons come in English or Spanish, which matters when Tía Rosa reads the RSVP button in Spanish and your coworkers read it in English.

The same questions work if you are weighing a Paperless Post alternative too: how the price is counted, how guests open it, and whether the relatives abroad can answer from the app they already use.

Who is better served by Evite, and who by an Evite alternative

Being fair here helps you more than a sales pitch, because both tools are good at different things. In short, both send an invitation and collect answers; however, they are built for different parties.

Stay with Evite if…

Good fit: you're inviting coworkers to an office party or classmates to a kids' birthday, everyone reads their email, and you want it done fast in English. And if you host many events a year, Evite Pro's flat yearly price may be worth it.

Pick this Evite alternative if…

Good fit: it's a quinceañera, a wedding or a baptism, the guest list is long, the family answers on WhatsApp, someone needs the invitation in Spanish, or you want one price instead of a tier based on headcount.

Take Mariana and Felipe: 180 guests, half of them in Colombia. Each family gets its own link with its name and seats, sent by WhatsApp from the dashboard, so the answers show up in one list instead of in 60 separate chats.

How to switch to this Evite alternative in 4 steps

You don't need to cancel anything or move files. Instead, keep your Evite event open in another tab and copy what you need.

  1. Pick a designFirst, browse by occasion: quinceañera, wedding, baptism, birthday. 20 publish free, and you can open any of them in preview first.
  2. Copy your detailsNames, date, times, the church and the hall (each with its own map), dress code and gift note. Then add a cover photo and up to 4 more. Meanwhile, your draft saves itself.
  3. See it finished, then decideNext, publish free with our small mark, or pay Express once by card or PayPal, only when you publish.
  4. Send the linkFinally, share it on WhatsApp, by text or by email. With Express, you can also paste your whole guest list at once and send each family its own link.

If you mostly need the RSVP side, the page on online invitations with RSVP explains the guest dashboard in detail. On a tight budget? In that case, start with the free digital invitations.

Questions about this Evite alternative

Price and switching from Evite

Is InvitaciónYa a free Evite alternative?
Partly, so we would rather say it plainly. 20 basic designs publish free, with one cover photo, countdown, map and a WhatsApp RSVP button, plus a small "Made free with InvitaciónYa" mark at the bottom. The rest of the designs, the music and the guest dashboard come with Express, a one-time $15. See the free digital invitations.
How is the price different from Evite Premium?
As of October 2026, Evite prices each Premium invitation by the size of your guest list, from $17.99 for up to 12 guests to $99.99 for up to 750, or $249.99 a year for Evite Pro. Express at InvitaciónYa, by contrast, is one price per invitation, $15, and it does not change with the number of guests.
Can I bring my guest list over from Evite?
We don't import anything from Evite. Instead, with Express you can paste your whole list into the guest dashboard at once, then give each family its own link with their name and seats, and download the answers to Excel later.

RSVP, language and your guests

Can my guests RSVP by WhatsApp?
Yes. In the free version the RSVP button opens the guest's WhatsApp with the message already written, so the answer lands in your chat. With Express, guests confirm inside the invitation and the answer goes to your guest dashboard.
Can I make the invitation in Spanish?
Yes. In fact, the editor works in English or Spanish, and the buttons your guests see (RSVP, countdown, map) follow the language you pick. What you type is yours, so a line for the abuelos in Spanish fits fine.
Do my guests need an app or an account?
No. The invitation is a web page, so it opens in the phone's browser on iPhone or Android. As a result, nobody installs anything or signs up, and you don't need an app either: the editor runs in your browser.

Payment and the fine print

Does the invitation expire?
No. Once it's published, the link stays online with no renewal. Besides, if the time or the hall changes, you edit it and the same link shows the new details, so nobody needs a second message.
How do I pay from the U.S.?
By card or PayPal, once you see the invitation finished. Card payments are processed in Colombian pesos ($45,000 COP, about $14 depending on your bank) and publish right away; with PayPal you pay $15, upload the receipt, and it publishes once we check it. No subscription, and we don't take Venmo or Zelle.
Is InvitaciónYa part of Evite?
No. InvitaciónYa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Evite. We only describe Evite with what its own pages say, as of October 2026.
