How Many Guests Can You Invite for Free?

Short answer: on RSVora there is no limit — no guest cap, no event cap and no price band, at any list size. Everywhere else there is usually a number. Mixily stops at 40 RSVPs per event on its free plan. RSVPify stops at 100 invited guests and one event at a time. Paperless Post gives you the first 50 invitations free. Evite sells Premium in guest-count bands from 12 up to 750. Jotform allows 100 submissions a month and 500 stored forever.

The three kinds of limit, and which one hurts

A cap on invitations. Annoying but manageable — you find out before you send, while you can still change tools.

A cap on replies. This is the one that ruins an evening. Mixily's free plan allows 50 invites but only 40 RSVPs, and at any normal reply rate the reply cap is reached first. Your invitations are already out, people are already answering, and the tool stops recording. There is no version of that which is not a bad afternoon.

A cap on events. RSVPify's free plan allows one event at a time and Mixily's allows two. Fine for a one-off; a problem if you are the person who organises the book club, the school thing and their own birthday in the same month.

The band problem

Evite does not have a free guest cap so much as a pricing staircase. Premium is priced by band — $17.99 up to 12 guests, $36.99 up to 30, $68.99 up to 75, $99.99 up to 750 — so adding one name can double the cost of the send. Thirteen guests is $36.99. Thirty-one is $68.99.

Paperless Post is the smooth version of the same idea: Coins charged per recipient, roughly $0.50 a guest on Basic, $1.05 on Premium and $1.44 on All Access. Nothing jumps, but a 150-guest Premium send lands in the region of $155.

Greenvelope is banded like Evite: $19 up to 20 guests, $59 up to 60, $99 up to 100, $249 up to 250 — just under $1 a guest at every tier.

Why RSVora has no number

Because there is no paid tier for a limit to push you towards. There is one product, it is free, and the cost of the send is the same whether you invite twelve people or seven hundred. There is no card on file, no trial to convert and no upgrade button, so there is nothing a cap could be for.

That also means no cap on events. Run four at once if you want to.

Choosing when your list is big

If you are inviting more than about fifty people, the free tiers stop being comparable and the question becomes what the send actually costs:

  • 150 guests on Paperless Post Premium — roughly $155.
  • 150 guests on Evite Premium — $99.99 (the 750 band).
  • 150 guests on Greenvelope — $249 (the 250 band).
  • 150 guests on Minted, digitally — roughly $150 to $450 depending on the design.
  • 150 guests on RSVora — nothing.

Common questions

Which invitation site has no guest limit on the free tier?

RSVora. There is no guest cap, no event cap and no price band, so the cost is the same at 12 guests and at 750. Partiful is also free with no published cap, though guests must supply a phone number and a texted code to reply.

What is the guest limit on Evite?

Evite's Premium packages are sold in guest-count bands and top out at 750 guests per invitation. Evite Pro raises that to 2,500. The bands themselves are the practical limit on a free send: going from 12 to 13 guests moves a Premium send from $17.99 to $36.99.

What is the limit on Mixily's free plan?

50 invites and 40 RSVPs per event, two active events at a time and 200 emails a week. The RSVP cap bites first: at any normal reply rate, a party of sixty can run out of replies while people are still answering.

What is the limit on RSVPify's free plan?

100 invited guests per event, one event at a time, and 100 registrations a month. Paid tiers top out at 500 guests.

How many free invitations does Paperless Post give you?

The first 50 invitations sent through the site on free designs. After that, or on any paid design, Coins are required, charged per recipient at roughly $0.50 to $1.44 a guest.

What happens when you hit a free guest limit mid-event?

It depends on the product, but the common outcomes are that further guests cannot be added, further replies cannot be recorded, or you are prompted to upgrade. The dangerous one is a reply cap, because you hit it after the invitations are already out.
