The best digital wedding invitations for an Australian guest list

Updated October 2026Written by the Wedvite founders

Most platforms that text guests themselves stop at US and Canadian numbers, so for an Australian list the best invitation is one you send yourself by SMS, iMessage or WhatsApp. Wedvite does that with the envelope, RSVP and BSB or wishing-well details on one link, 71 AUD once. Joy is the best free website; Greenvelope suits family overseas.

Wedvite's list price is 129 AUD. This code brings it to 71 AUD, applied automatically at checkout:

What you get

Why Wedvite suits an Australian guest list

It reaches every 04 mobile

You send the link from your own phone by SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp or email, so no platform's country list decides which guests receive it.

See it →

Gift details Australians expect

A wishing-well note in your own words, or bank details under BSB number and account number, on the same page as the RSVP.

See it →

Times that read right in every state

Each row of the order of the day carries the time and words you type, so write the zone in (3pm AEDT) and Brisbane and Perth guests read it correctly.

Replies the caterer can use

Guests reply by name with meals and dietary needs; the dashboard counts each meal, and the guest list exports as a spreadsheet.

One price, in Australian dollars

71 AUD once, the same for sixty guests or two hundred and sixty. No guest bands to outgrow and no monthly fee.

Competitor prices and features were read from the official pages on 15 September 2026: Greenvelope, Joy (withjoy.com), Minted, Paperless Post, Evite, Bliss & Bone, Canva. A cell reading "not verified on 15 September 2026" means the vendor's page did not state that figure on that date, so we leave it out rather than guess. Competitor prices are in US dollars; Wedvite's row is our own price in your currency. Prices change; confirm on the vendor's page before you buy.

Which platforms can text an Australian mobile?

Fewer than you would expect, and it is the first thing to settle. Paperless Post and Evite restrict their own text messages to US and Canadian numbers. Joy's texting is a paid add-on with the same restriction, and Bliss & Bone limits platform texts to the US, or to the US and Canada, depending on which of its own pages you read. Greenvelope texts only in what it calls supported countries, so check that Australia is on the list before relying on it for a list of 04 numbers.

In practice an Australian couple ends up sharing a link on most of these platforms, and the link route has costs of its own: Evite's help centre says link guests do not appear on your guest list until they reply, and you lose read receipts. Wedvite is built around the link from the start. You send it from your own phone, it shows a preview card in Messages and WhatsApp, and every reply lands in one dashboard.

Which one for which Australian wedding?

Each verdict answers one situation an Australian couple is in, not a ranking. The table above shows what each platform charges for the same 100 guests.

✦Best for guests across states: Wedvite. You send it to every mobile yourself, the order of the day carries the venue's time and zone in your words, the ceremony and the reception each get a map, and the RSVP asks about transport and accommodation. 71 AUD once, unlimited guests.
✦Best free: Joy. The website, online RSVP with no guest cap and a registry cost nothing. The free Basic card has no envelope; the envelope and reveal come only on paid Premium Digital Cards, sold with a 50-card minimum. Its own texts stop at US and Canadian numbers, so Australian guests get an email or a link you paste.
✦Best for family overseas: Greenvelope. Every design opens an ad-free envelope with a liner, stamp and music, and it delivers by email, WhatsApp, Messenger or a link, which suits relatives in Italy, Greece or the UK. It charges one price per mailing by guest-count band, lets you send to up to 10 people free in trial mode, and builds no wedding website.
✦Best for a short formal list sent by email: Paperless Post. Lovely stationery, with the envelope from the Premium set up and the first 50 invitations free on a plain card; but it charges per recipient, so the bill grows every time both families add a few more names.
✦Better for the engagement drinks than the wedding: Evite. Free designs take up to 750 guests but show ads beside the invitation, and envelopes and reveal effects are Premium only.
✦Also on the table: Minted, 1,131 free designs with RSVP and no envelope; Bliss & Bone, priced per recipient, with its website a monthly bill after a 7-day trial; and Canva, a design tool: you design the card and share it yourself, and our price sheet did not verify any RSVP or delivery feature.

Interstate guests and family overseas

An Australian guest list is spread across time zones even before anyone overseas is invited. In summer, a 3pm ceremony in Sydney or Melbourne is 2pm in Brisbane and noon in Perth, because Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not move their clocks. Guests flying in book around the ceremony time, so whichever platform you choose, write it as the venue's local time and name the zone. Wedvite shows the time exactly as you type it and does not convert it for each guest.

Family overseas usually lives on WhatsApp rather than SMS, so the platform has to reach them there: a link you paste into the family group works on any of these, and Greenvelope also names WhatsApp as a channel of its own. If grandparents read Italian or Arabic better than English, Wedvite can add that language to the same link; Greek, Mandarin and Vietnamese are not among the languages we offer.

Convert before you compare

The table shows every other platform's figure in US dollars, exactly as each one published it on 15 September 2026, and we have not converted them: the rate moves, and a converted number would be our arithmetic presented as their price. A US-dollar figure is noticeably larger in Australian dollars, and your bank may add a fee on an overseas charge, so convert before deciding that a rival is the cheaper one. Our own row is in Australian dollars, the currency checkout charges in.

Australian sites worth knowing about

Two Australian businesses come up when couples here look for a digital invitation: Dear Delilah, which sells digital invitations and wedding microsites priced in Australian dollars, and Websites for Occasions, an Australian-owned studio that builds wedding websites for couples. They are here so you know they exist, not as verdicts: our figures come from a price sheet checked on 15 September 2026, and these two are not on it, so we have no grade or price to give. Their own sites carry the current details.

Where does Wedvite fall short?

The catalogue is smaller than the big stationery platforms', there is no registry and no custom domain, and we never send the invitation or reminders for you, so there are no read receipts. If one of those decides it, the verdicts above say which platform does it better. If not, design it free and share it with your first 10 guests before you pay.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

What is the best digital wedding invitation in Australia?+

For guests across states, one link you send yourself with the envelope, RSVP and gift details: Wedvite at 71 AUD. For family overseas on WhatsApp, Greenvelope. For a free website with a registry, Joy. Whichever you choose, check how it reaches Australian mobiles.

Can we text the invitation to Australian numbers ourselves?+

Yes. Paste your link into SMS, iMessage or WhatsApp from your own phone and it reaches any 04 mobile or overseas number alike, opening in the guest's browser with no app or account. Nothing depends on a platform's supported-country list, and every reply still lands in your dashboard.

Will relatives overseas be able to open it?+

Yes. Wherever the phone is, it opens the link in its own browser, so a cousin in Auckland or a nonna in Calabria opens it from the family WhatsApp group just as you do. Give the ceremony time in the venue's zone, such as 3pm AEDT, and they can work out their own.

Are the prices in the table in Australian dollars?+

Only ours, which is in Australian dollars, the currency checkout charges in. Every other platform's figure is its published US-dollar price, recorded on 15 September 2026 and left unconverted, so convert it before comparing.

Can the invitation carry wishing-well or BSB details?+

Yes. The gifts section takes a wishing-well note in your own words, or bank details set out under BSB number and account number, on the same page as the RSVP. Guests read them when they open the invitation, so nobody has to ask.

Which Australian invitation sites did you leave out?+

Dear Delilah and Websites for Occasions, both Australian, sell digital invitations or wedding websites to couples here. We have not graded or priced them, because neither appears on the sheet our comparison is built from; their own sites carry the current details.

One link. Every guest.

Design it free, share it with your first 10 guests, then pay 71 AUD once for unlimited guests — RSVP, envelope and WhatsApp delivery included.
