Easy Vite vs Greenvelope
Greenvelope is the grown-up option in online invitations: a designer catalogue, a proper animated envelope, no advertising anywhere and pricing that is published plainly rather than hidden behind a currency. You buy a mailing, priced by how many guests it goes to, from $19 for up to 20 guests to $249 for up to 250. Easy Vite costs nothing at any guest count. This page compares the two honestly, including the fact that Greenvelope's stationery and its wedding tooling are better than ours.

Where Easy Vite is different
- Greenvelope prices a single mailing by guest count: $19 for up to 20 guests, $59 for up to 60, $99 for up to 100 and $249 for up to 250. Easy Vite is free at every one of those sizes. (source, checked 2026-08-25)
- Greenvelope's annual memberships are $125 a year for up to 50 guests per mailing, $225 for up to 150 and $565 for up to 500. Easy Vite has no membership and no per-mailing limit. (source, checked 2026-08-25)
- Because Greenvelope's prices are banded, a guest list of 61 is charged at the 100-guest band. The step from 60 to 61 guests is $40 on a single mailing. (source, checked 2026-08-25)
- Every Greenvelope price includes the designer invitations, the animated envelope, RSVP tracking and an ad-free guest experience. There is no cheaper ad-supported tier, which is honest but means there is no free option at all. (source, checked 2026-08-25)
- Greenvelope charges per mailing, so a save the date and an invitation for the same wedding are two purchases. Easy Vite has no per-send charge. (source, checked 2026-08-25)
When Greenvelope is the better choice
They genuinely do these better
- Pricing published in dollars, plainly, with no coins or credits to decode. That is rarer than it should be and Greenvelope deserves credit for it.
- A genuinely beautiful designer catalogue and the best animated envelope in the category, executed with real restraint.
- No advertising on any tier, ever, and no free-tier compromise that puts something in front of your guests.
- Wedding tooling that goes well beyond one invitation: coordinated suites, address collection, meal choices, day-of details and guest management built for a year-long project.
- Printing available, so a digital suite and a paper one can share a design.
Choose Greenvelope for a wedding or a formal event where the stationery is part of the occasion, where you need meal choices and address collection, and where a few hundred dollars is a rounding error against the catering bill. It is the best paid product in this category and the price buys real craft. Choose Easy Vite for everything else: the birthdays, the barbecues, the christenings, the school fundraisers and the leaving drinks, where the invitation needs to look good and the important thing is knowing how many people are coming.

Greenvelope publishes real numbers, which makes this the easiest comparison on the site to write. A single mailing is $19 for up to 20 guests, $59 for up to 60, $99 for up to 100 and $249 for up to 250. Annual memberships are $125 for up to 50 guests per mailing, $225 for up to 150 and $565 for up to 500.
Every price includes everything: the designer invitation, the animated envelope, RSVP tracking and an ad-free guest experience. There is no upsell inside the send and no cheaper tier that compromises what your guests see.
The banding is the only sharp edge. A list of 61 guests is charged at the 100 band, so the sixty-first guest costs $40. A list of 101 is charged at 250. Neither is unreasonable, but it is worth counting your list before you fall in love with a design.
Easy Vite's equivalent table has one row and one number in it. Free, at any list size, on every design.
What you are paying for, and whether you need it
Greenvelope is not overpriced. The design catalogue is genuinely curated, the envelope animation is the best in the category, and the wedding tooling is built for a project that runs for a year rather than a send that takes ten minutes.
That tooling includes things Easy Vite does not have: coordinated suites so a save the date, an invitation and a day-of card share a design, postal address collection from guests, meal choices and other custom questions, and guest management designed around households rather than individuals.
If you are planning a wedding, most of that list is load-bearing and the price is a small fraction of the day. If you are inviting forty people to a fortieth, almost none of it is, and you are paying $59 for an envelope animation.
The honest test is whether you can name three of those features you will actually use. If you can, Greenvelope. If you cannot, you are buying stationery for the sake of it.
Where Easy Vite is genuinely better
Free, obviously, and at any list size, which means the cost of your event does not rise with your generosity about who to invite.
Structured headcounts. Adults and children are separate numbers on every reply, totalled on the dashboard, and enforceable: a cap on the whole event stops accepting yeses when the venue is full, and a cap on a single invitation stops a plus-one becoming a plus-four.
Ninety-nine languages, applied to the invitation, the reply page and the reminders, which matters for a family spread across countries.
Sending flexibility. Email, text, or a single link you paste into a group chat, which is how most informal lists actually work and is much faster than collecting addresses.
And no per-mailing charge, so a save the date, an invitation and a change-of-venue notice for the same event are three sends and still nothing.
For weddings specifically
It is worth being direct: for a full wedding, Greenvelope is the better product and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.
Address collection, meal choices, coordinated suites and household-aware guest management are all things a wedding needs and Easy Vite does not do. Add printing and a design catalogue that will not embarrass you next to the flowers, and the $99 to $249 is easy to justify.
Where Easy Vite does fit into a wedding is around the edges: the engagement drinks, the rehearsal dinner, the day-after brunch, the hen and stag events. Those are ordinary parties with ordinary guest lists, they each want their own invitation, and on Greenvelope each is another mailing to buy.
Using the paid product for the wedding and the free one for the eight satellite events is a sensible way to spend the budget.
Switching an event across
There is no import. For an invitation there is not much to import: a title, a date, a place and a list of people.
Pick a design from Easy Vite's 1,332, or upload artwork you already have as a PNG, JPG or WebP. Add guests one by one for per-person tracking, import from Google Contacts on the web, or share one link and let anyone who opens it reply.
Replies land with adult and child counts, the first reminder is scheduled automatically, and you can message everyone or only the people who have not answered.
Questions
How much does Greenvelope cost?
A single mailing is $19 for up to 20 guests, $59 for up to 60, $99 for up to 100 and $249 for up to 250. Annual memberships run $125, $225 and $565 depending on guests per mailing. Checked 2026-08-25.
Does Greenvelope have a free plan?
No. Greenvelope is a paid product with no advertising-supported tier, which is a deliberate and defensible choice. Easy Vite is free with no advertising either.
Is Greenvelope worth it?
For a wedding or a formal event where you need address collection, meal choices and coordinated stationery, yes. For an ordinary party, you are paying mostly for the envelope animation.
Can Easy Vite collect meal choices?
No. Replies are structured as yes, no or maybe plus adult and child counts and an optional note. Greenvelope supports custom questions including meal choices.
Does Easy Vite have an animated envelope?
Yes, with 20 opening effects to choose from plus a plain option, all free. Greenvelope's is more refined; ours costs nothing.
What happens if my guest list grows past a Greenvelope band?
You move to the next band. A list of 61 guests is priced at the 100 band, so a single extra guest can cost $40. Easy Vite has no bands.
Can I send a save the date and an invitation on Easy Vite?
Yes, as many sends as you like at no cost. On Greenvelope each mailing is a separate purchase.
