InviteCount: An All-in-One Wedding Planner, With No Subscription

Most wedding websites feel like a chore wearing a bowtie: dated themes, a cluttered dashboard, one more password to forget, and a subscription still billing you on your second anniversary. InviteCount is the opposite — a premium wedding website with the whole planning suite behind it, free for small weddings and one flat price for everything else.

It started as a website builder. It has since grown into the thing couples actually needed: one calm workspace holding the site, the invitations, the guest list, the seating, the budget, the checklist and the photos.

What is InviteCount?

InviteCount is an all-in-one wedding planner built on one belief: your wedding site should look like a designer made it, not like you filled in template #12. There are 179 themes, all of them live-editable in your browser, and all of them previewable with your own names and photos before you create an account. Nothing uploads during the preview; it just quietly becomes your wedding site in front of you.

The pricing follows the same keep-it-simple instinct, and it is worth being precise about it. Up to 30 guests, the whole thing is free — not a trial, not a watermarked demo. Past that you pay once: $49 for up to 100 guests, $79 for unlimited. Per wedding, not per month. The company makes a point of the fact that the planning tools themselves are never the paywall; paid tiers raise the guest cap and unlock the premium looks.

That matters more than it sounds, because the two normal ways to pay for a wedding website in 2026 are a subscription that outlives the marriage’s first year, or a “free” site funded by advertising vendors at your guests. This is neither.

What can you do on InviteCount?

• Build a premium website in minutes. Pick from 179 themes, edit live, publish. Twenty of them publish on the free plan; the rest unlock with any paid tier.
• Design the invitation and the site together. The Card Studio builds an animated invitation card that opens like the real thing, and the matching website comes from the same design — one look, both places.
• Print what you want printed. Every design ships a matching printable card suite as a print-ready PDF, included on every plan. Order prints anywhere or run them off at home.
• Collect RSVPs seamlessly. Guests click your link or scan a QR code; attending, awaiting and declined counts update live, with analytics and a guest-list export behind them.
• Ask exactly what you need. Meal choices, dietary restrictions, plus-ones, song requests, any custom question. Answers land in your dashboard, not a group chat.
• Plan the guest list and the tables. The seating planner turns confirmed guests into tables and prints the charts.
• Run the money and the timeline. Budget and expense tracker, an adaptive to-do checklist that counts down to your date, and a run-of-the-day schedule you can hand to the wedding team — all free on every plan.
• Collect guest photos with a printable QR. Drop the themed QR code on the tables and every guest’s phone photos land in your shared album. Fifty photos free, 500 on Premium, unlimited on Signature. No app installs, no “please AirDrop me that” chase.
• Keep it private. Password protection is on every plan including the free one, and sites are kept out of search engines by default.
• Find the vendors too. There is a vendor directory of venues, photographers and florists listed by the areas they actually serve.

Tips to get the most out of it

Preview themes with your real photos first. The in-browser preview uses your actual pictures and names, and works before you sign up. Fastest way to find your theme instead of squinting at stock couples.

Check your guest count against the free tier honestly. Thirty guests is a real intimate wedding, and everything works at that size. Above it, decide between $49 and $79 on guest numbers rather than features — the tools are the same either way.

Put the QR code on printed invites. Older guests get the paper they expect; you still get the RSVP in your dashboard instead of a voicemail.

Do seating after RSVPs close. Dragging confirmed guests around tables is almost fun. Almost.

Print the photo QR for every table. Guests snap all night anyway; the QR quietly collects the shots you would otherwise never see. The best wedding photos are rarely the photographer’s.

Decide the wind-down date early. The site retires about a month after the wedding unless you say otherwise. If you want it as a keepsake, turn that off while you are thinking about it, not two years later.
