Wedvite vs Paperless Post: which should you pick?
Written by the Wedvite foundersPrices checked 15 September 2026
Paperless Post wins on catalogue breadth and on small sends: the first 50 invitations are free and a 50-guest Premium send is $52.50. Wedvite wins once the list grows: $89 flat for unlimited guests with the envelope, music, map and RSVP included, no Coins, and WhatsApp delivery, which Paperless Post does not yet offer for sending.

Who should pick which?
Pick Paperless Post if
you want the widest choice of designs and your list is short. The first 50 invitations are free, a 50-guest Premium send with envelope, liner and stamp is $52.50, and the Event Page holds schedule, registry and travel blocks. Text delivery covers US and Canadian numbers, and WhatsApp is for guest replies rather than sending.
Pick Wedvite if
your list is long, growing, or on WhatsApp. $89 once covers unlimited guests with the animated envelope, music, venue map and RSVP with a guest-messages dashboard, delivered as one link for WhatsApp, text or email in 12 languages, and editable after sending. The catalogue is more than 30 designs, far fewer than Paperless Post.
Where does Paperless Post win?
Choice and small sends. Paperless Post's design catalogue is far larger than Wedvite's more than 30 designs, and its free feature set lets you send a plain card to 50 people for nothing. The Premium set brings the envelope, liner and stamp at $1.05 per guest, so a 50-guest formal invitation is $52.50, well under any flat price.
Repeat senders get a Paperless Pro subscription at $250/year for 250 annual guests or $400/year for 500, and nonprofits get 25% off. Paperless Post shows no ads, its envelope animation is documented in its help centre, and its Event Page carries schedule, registry and travel details. Those are the reasons couples pick it, and they are good ones.
Where does Wedvite win?
Price on a long list, and delivery. Wedvite is $89 flat for unlimited guests: no Coins, no per-recipient rate, no re-buying when the list grows. It sends as one link that opens in WhatsApp, text or email without an app, and Paperless Post states that sending invitations via WhatsApp is not yet available on its platform.
Languages and editing. Wedvite renders the invitation in 12 languages including right-to-left Arabic, serves two languages on one link, and lets you edit the venue, time or wording after sending with nothing to re-send. The RSVP includes a guest-messages dashboard. You can design everything free and share with your first 10 guests before paying.
How much does Paperless Post cost compared with Wedvite?
Paperless Post's pricing page shows four per-guest rates: $0.00 on the Free set, $0.50 on Basic (no envelope), $1.05 on Premium (envelope, liner and stamp) and $1.44 on All Access, with the note that the per-guest price falls as the guest count rises. For 100 guests that is at most $105 on Premium, at most $50 on Basic and at most $144 on All Access; the page prints no 100-guest total. Wedvite is $89 at any guest count, or $139 with every add-on.
At the demonstrated Premium rate of $1.05 per guest, Paperless Post passes Wedvite's US price of $89 at about 85 guests, and later once volume discounts apply. Under that, Paperless Post is cheaper; over it, Wedvite is, and the gap widens with every guest. Our Paperless Post alternatives page works through the Coins maths, and pricing lists Wedvite's add-ons.
What do guests see on each?
On Paperless Post, a Premium-set guest opens an email or text, watches the envelope animation (the front flips to the back after opening, as its help centre describes), then reaches the card and the Event Page with its schedule, registry and travel blocks. A free-set guest sees a plain card with no envelope. On Wedvite, the guest taps a link in WhatsApp, text or email that has already unfurled into a preview card; the animated envelope opens, and the invitation follows with music, a venue map, the schedule and the RSVP form on one page.
Neither platform asks a guest to install an app or create an account, and neither shows ads. The practical difference is where the invitation arrives: Paperless Post reaches an inbox or a US or Canadian phone, while a Wedvite link goes wherever the chat already is. Wedvite keeps the page live through your wedding date and at least 90 days after; Paperless Post does not publish a retention period. Both let the couple see every RSVP in one place.
Does Paperless Post send on WhatsApp?
Not for sending. Paperless Post delivers by email, by text to US and Canadian numbers and by shareable link. Its WhatsApp integration lets guests outside the US and Canada connect a WhatsApp number, RSVP with it and receive host messages there. Wedvite's WhatsApp wedding invitation is the link itself: paste it into any chat, it unfurls into a preview card, and the RSVP comes back on the dashboard.
Which has a wedding website?
Neither sells a standalone wedding website. Paperless Post's site is the invitation's Event Page, built from blocks; Wedvite's is the invitation page, with the venue map, schedule, RSVP and guest messages on the one link, hosted through your wedding date and at least 90 days after. Paperless Post sells a Custom URL only inside its All Access set ($1.44 per guest); Wedvite has no custom domain.
