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.
- The price grows with the guest list. As of October 2026, Evite's Premium packages are per event and priced by guest list size: $17.99 for up to 12 guests, $36.99 up to 30, $68.99 up to 75 and $99.99 up to 750, or Evite Pro at $249.99 a year. For example, a quinceañera with 150 guests lands in the top single-event package.
- Ads. Evite's own Premium page lists "No ads!" among the extras you get by paying. So if you want a clean invitation, that is part of the cost to count.
- The style. Some families want designs made for a quinceañera, a church wedding or a baptism, with the waltz, the padrinos and the Mass on the program.
- Half the family is in another country. Evite says its invitations are sent by email or text, or shared as a link. When the abuelos are in Guadalajara and the padrinos in Bogotá, the chat everyone already uses is WhatsApp, and an RSVP that lands right there saves a lot of phone calls.
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.
