Is InviteDrop really free?

Yes. InviteDrop is 100% free with no coins, no paywalls, and no premium tiers. Send unlimited invitations, track RSVPs, and use every template at no cost.

How does InviteDrop compare to Evite or Paperless Post?

Unlike Evite, InviteDrop never shows ads on your invitations. Unlike Paperless Post, there are no coins or hidden costs — every template is free. InviteDrop is mobile-first with a cinematic animated envelope experience that other platforms do not offer.

Can I send invitations by text message?

Yes. InviteDrop lets you send invitations by SMS or email. Guests open them on their phone with no app download, no signup, and no friction.

Does InviteDrop track RSVPs?

Yes. RSVP tracking is built in and free. See yes, no, and maybe responses in real time, manage your guest list, and send reminders without leaving the dashboard.

What kinds of events does InviteDrop support?

InviteDrop has designer templates for weddings, birthdays, baby showers, graduations, engagement parties, save-the-dates, holiday parties, bridal showers, and more.

Do my guests need an app to open my invitation?

No. Guests open InviteDrop invitations directly in their phone or desktop browser. No app download, no account creation, no friction.

What is the animated envelope experience?

When a guest opens an InviteDrop invitation, they see a cinematic envelope animation that opens to reveal the card. It is the most memorable moment in digital invitations and is included free on every invite.

InviteDrop vs Wedding Paper Divas

Which invitation app is the better choice in 2026? An honest, side-by-side comparison.

Wedding Paper Divas is a long-established print-invitation brand (now part of the Shutterfly family) with a strong wedding catalog and traditional paper craftsmanship. The product is fundamentally print — designed to be mailed in physical envelopes. If you want a tangible keepsake, that has real value. If you want speed, RSVP automation, and zero cost, it is the wrong tool.

What Wedding Paper Divas does well

Long-running wedding-specific brand with a deep print catalog
High-quality paper stocks and finishing options
Coordinated suites (save-the-dates, invitations, thank-yous, programs)
Tangible, mailable keepsake your guests can hold

Where Wedding Paper Divas falls short

Slow workflow: order, ship, address, stamp, mail
Limited or no built-in RSVP automation compared to digital tools

The verdict

If a traditional printed wedding suite that guests can hold and keep matters to you, Wedding Paper Divas is a fine choice. If you would rather skip print costs, postage, and the mailing timeline — and give guests an animated digital opening plus instant RSVPs — InviteDrop is the modern path.
