WedSites vs Greenvelope
Considering Greenvelope for your wedding invitations? Like the Paperless Post comparison, it is worth noting that these are different types of products -- Greenvelope is a digital invitation service, while WedSites is a wedding planning platform. Many couples use an invitation service alongside a wedding website platform, so these are not necessarily either/or choices.
Greenvelope specializes in eco-friendly digital invitations starting at $19 for 20 invitations, with pricing per person and per send (save-the-dates and invitations charged separately). Their Unlimited Mailing plan costs $125/year. Greenvelope is known for their eco-friendly brand positioning, a broad selection of designs including multiple cultural styles (Indian, Chinese, and other traditions), and responsive customer support with helpful video tutorials and email assistance. Their Unlimited Mailing plan provides good value for couples who want flexibility to send multiple mailings. Like Paperless Post, Greenvelope focuses on digital invitations rather than wedding websites or planning tools.
WedSites is a wedding planning platform providing a wedding website, guest list management, digital stationery with email tracking, and planning tools, all integrated. Here is how the two compare.

Pricing: One-Time vs Per-Person, Per-Send
Greenvelope charges per person and per send. If you send save-the-dates to 150 people, then later send invitations to the same 150 people, you are charged twice. Their Unlimited Mailing plan ($125/year) provides good value and eliminates the per-send concern for couples who want flexibility.
WedSites charges flat one-time fees regardless of guest count or how many emails you send: $39 Basic, $99 Standard, or $199 Pro. The tradeoff is that WedSites is a larger upfront cost if you only need invitations.
Different Products for Different Needs
Greenvelope provides digital invitations with an excellent design selection, strong eco-friendly branding, and cultural design options that can be hard to find elsewhere. Their customer support is well-regarded, with helpful video tutorials and responsive email assistance. For couples who want eco-conscious invitations with cultural design options, Greenvelope fills a specific niche well.
WedSites provides a wedding website, household RSVPs, guest management, digital stationery with tracking, and planning tools (checklist, budget, vendors, payments, seating chart, timeline on the Pro plan). WedSites is broader in scope but does not specialize in invitation design the way Greenvelope does.
As with Paperless Post, many couples use a dedicated invitation service like Greenvelope alongside a wedding website platform.
WedSites Limitations to Consider
- Smaller template library: Greenvelope offers a broader selection of invitation designs, including cultural styles
- No mobile app: WedSites is web-based only
- Planning tools require Pro: Checklist, budget, vendors, seating, and timeline require the $199 Pro plan

Choose WedSites if you want a wedding website and invitations together in one platform, have a large guest list (flat pricing regardless of count), need planning tools (Pro plan), want integrated guest management with households and groups, or need multi-language website support.
Who Should Choose Greenvelope
