It used to be so simple and straightforward to create an invitation and send it out via email. We've been using evite for over 10 years, and this has been an awful experience this year. Whatever happened? This has become cumbersome and tedious, and why on earth I need a mandatory gift link for a holiday party without a guest of honor absolutely evades me. Will be using another service next time. This is a mess. It's a shame.

Totally misleading website - horrid user experience -- echoing the same comments as prior users... what a scam?!!? they want $70 to email 40 online invitations... put your crazy pricing up front so on one wastes the time building it out and then having to do it again in paperless post for 1/7 the price (yes that is nearly 90% less). I don't even care that you charge so much -- just be upfront about it before people waste their time on your site! not cool.

I wanted to send a “free” Evite to 4 couples for a dinner party. I chose a free design but couldn’t turn off the gifting option without upgrading to “premium.” Why? I didn’t want any gifts given for a dinner party! Then, the premium cost $17.99 for up to 12 evites. I only needed 4 but had to pay the full price for 12. What a scam!

I started an invitation with 84 guests. 54 of them did not receive the invitations. I one by one deleted them and added them back. A few more were able to receive them. But it is still continuing to not deliver many of those. Evites response is for me to remove all those and send them a link from my email That is not what I wanted to do. What a disaster. No help whatsoever. Most frustrating experience having to contact people over and over.

I found that many of the 30+ invites I sent went to the person’s email or message spam. I did them over again on my own, doing many separate texts, and guests verified that they’d never seen the evite. In retrospect I would have just done it myself in the first place and saved money and aggravation. And people wonder if they’re being hacked. A lot of hassle and money for nothing.

I use the site for a monthly church event, and mostly it works fine. I’m pretty computer literate and can search for solutions. But when I hit a bigger question I am either asked to wait days for an email response or asked to pay to get an answer. I already pay hundreds of dollars a year for this service and shouldn’t be asked to a) pay for support and b) enter credit card information to yet another random site.

I'm surprised everyone is having such a bad time with Evite. I love the app as well as the desktop website. Yes, sometimes the app can freeze, like any other app, but for the most part, the customization options are the best. I've tried Shutterfly and other invitation apps, but none of them offer as much as what you get with Evite.

used to be my go-to back in 2015. Now it SUCKS!! I have to pay to get a share link to my event -are you kidding?? An hour setting up the event. Only did it because this is a private reception - not a public event I'd typically host. Never again. And evite will bury you in ads...OMGosh! Allevents (dot) in baby! Free and it ROCKS!!
