For dinners, milestones, weddings and gatherings where you want real invitation stationery or RSVPs that do not require guest phone verification.
Reviewed by the HeyVite team on , using the official sources linked below.
Partiful is a popular choice for casual, text-first social parties, but hosts usually look for a Partiful alternative for one of two reasons: the celebration calls for a real invitation card rather than a party flyer page, or the guest list includes relatives, international friends or colleagues who prefer not to verify a mobile phone number just to RSVP.
Below we compare six Partiful alternatives across card design, guest access, privacy and pricing: HeyVite (free up to 40 guests with every invitation design and private browser links), Paperless Post, Luma, Evite, Mixily and Joy.
Best for designed invitations with private, no-login RSVPs

Designer cards and casual Flyers, priced with Coins per recipient and paid upgrades.
