An Evite alternative, and when Evite is the better choice

If you are planning a barbecue, Evite is probably the right answer and this page will not pretend otherwise. If you are planning a gender reveal that becomes a birth announcement and then a first birthday, the difference is that here it is all one address.

Prices, side by side

Evite’s prices read from Evite's own support pages in September 2026. If they have changed since, theirs is the page to believe.

Where Evite is genuinely better

  • The free tier is genuinely free and genuinely works. You can send a real invitation and collect real replies without paying anything. Nothing here does that — free builds your page but cannot put it at an address.
  • Everybody already knows what an Evite is. Nobody has to be told what the link is, and that matters when you are inviting people who are not comfortable online.
  • It does every kind of event. Birthdays, barbecues, leaving drinks, a quiz night. This site does four things, all of them about a baby, and nothing else.
  • Thousands of designs, against fourteen here.

Where this one fits instead

  • No adverts, ever. Evite's free invitations carry them. An advert on the page announcing your baby is the thing most people notice first and mind most, and it is the single most common reason somebody goes looking for an alternative.
  • One payment, one address, four occasions. Evite's packages are single-event by their own description, so a reveal, a shower and an announcement are three purchases. Here they are three stops on the same link, keeping the design, the photographs, the messages and the guest list.
  • Two prices rather than a ladder. Evite's tiers are counted in guests — twelve, thirty, seventy-five. Here Essential covers up to 250 replies and Premium has no limit, so a hundred and twenty people costs the same as nine.
  • Guests guess pink or blue, the tally builds while they reply, and the answer stays sealed on the server until you unlock it. That is the event, not a feature bolted onto an invitation.
  • Your own address, yourname.tinynewlife.com, rather than a link on somebody else's domain.

Questions

Is Evite cheaper?

For one small event, yes, and its free tier costs nothing at all. The comparison changes once there is more than one event: Evite's packages are for a single event, so a reveal and then an announcement are two purchases, and here they are one address.

Does Evite put adverts on invitations?

On the free tier, yes — “no ads” is listed as a Premium feature on Evite's own comparison. Paid Evite invitations do not carry them, and neither does anything here.

Do my guests need an account for either?

No, on both. Guests open the link and reply. That is table stakes rather than a difference.

Can I move an Evite guest list over?

Not automatically. You can add guests here by pasting a list of names and email addresses, which is usually faster than it sounds.

What if I want one page for a birthday party that is not a first birthday?

Then Evite is the better choice, honestly. This site makes pages for gender reveals, baby showers, birth announcements and first birthdays, and nothing else.

What you would be making

A gender reveal website, a baby shower page, a birth announcement or a first birthday invitation — in one of fourteen designs, at one address that carries all four.
