Is WishGiven's online invitation service really free?

Yes. WishGiven invitations are completely free, with no premium tier required, no per-card fees, and no limits on the number of guests you can invite.

Do guests need to create an account to RSVP?

No. Guests receive a shareable link, view all event details, and RSVP without creating a WishGiven account. Guest count, dietary preferences, and custom responses are all collected without requiring signup.

What occasions can I create invitations for?

WishGiven supports invitations for any celebration — weddings, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement parties, graduations, retirement parties, holiday gatherings, anniversaries, and housewarmings, among others.

Can I download my invitation as an image or PDF?

Yes. Every WishGiven invitation can be downloaded as a PNG, JPG, or PDF. The generated invite card includes your event details, custom design, and can be shared via text, email, social media, or printed.

Is WishGiven a free alternative to Evite or Paperless Post?

Yes. WishGiven is a free alternative to Evite, Paperless Post, Greenvelope, and Punchbowl. Unlike Paperless Post, there are no per-card costs. Unlike Evite's free tier, there are no ads. WishGiven also includes integrated wishlist and gift registry features in the same platform.

Can I collect dietary preferences and guest counts?

Yes. RSVP forms include built-in fields for guest count, dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies, custom notes), and plus-one information. All responses appear in a single dashboard for the host.

How do I share my invitation with guests?

Each invitation generates a shareable link you can send via text message, email, WhatsApp, social media, or any messaging app. You can also share the downloadable invite card image directly.

Can I customize the invitation design and event details?

Yes. Choose from invitation templates, customize colors and themes, add photos or a custom invite card image, and edit all event details — date, time, venue, dress code, description, and any custom fields you need.
