Why should I choose online invitations over traditional paper ones?
In the 25 years since digital invitations first transformed how we plan our events, digital invitations have gone from being the darling of the BBQ party scene to a party planning powerhouse. Cost-efficient, innately eco-friendly and offering more creative options than the traditional paper invite (who doesn’t love a good animated design?), digital invitations now provide hosts with so much more than an RSVP. They’re an all-in-one resource for hosts to add gifting preferences, raise funds for a cause and communicate updates to guests easily—all from their phones or computers.
Online invitations now have the same level of sophistication as their paper counterparts. Not only do digital invitation companies offer hosts the ability to design digital invites that look like paper, but they also have the advantage of offering attributes paper invitations can’t, like animation, fun backgrounds, and other customizable extras.
Hosts can feel empowered to craft their dream invitations easily on their own for all of their celebrations, and they can send out digital invitations that will exceed their expectations and delight their guests!
Is there a limit to the number of guests I can invite with an Evite?
You can invite up to 750 guests with Evite, though if you have Evite Pro, you can invite up to 2,500 guests per event! So go ahead and invite everyone you know to your next party.

How can I send an eGift card via Evite?
Sending an eGift card via Evite couldn’t be easier (or more fun) when it comes to gifting. Whether you need to send a great last-minute gift or just aren’t sure what they love, you can find the perfect gift from one of dozens of eGift cards available. Here’s how to send an eGift via Evite:
- The first step is to find an eCard that matches the occasion, like a birthday card, teacher appreciation card, Christmas card, holiday card or thank you card. Then, find an eCard design that suits your recipient’s personality and style, and customize it with an envelope, liner, stamp, stickers, background and a personal message. (BTW—the eCard is free when you purchase it with an eGift card!)
- Next, find an eGift card that matches their interests. Do they love fashion? Trying new restaurants? Decorating their home? There are eGift cards for every interest and person imaginable, including eGift cards to Amazon, Target, Sephora, H&M, Lululemon and Starbucks! You can choose the amount you wish to send as well!
- After that, write a personal message to your recipient. Consider mentioning why you chose the eGift card you chose and how you hope they’ll enjoy it.
- The last step is to choose the right time (and delivery method) to send your eGift. You can opt to send your eGift card instantly (we’re looking out for you, last-minute gifters) or schedule it to be delivered at a later date. You can also choose to send it via email or text!
Once your recipient redeems their eGift card via Evite, they can use it online or in person at the retailer or restaurant the eGift card is for. All they need to access it is their phone or the internet, and they’re ready to enjoy your gift to them.
