Why people look for an alternative
Priced by guest count
Cost rises with the size of the event, which is the opposite of how most people would like an invitation to be priced. The bigger the wedding, the more the invitation costs, before a single person has replied.
It also makes the guest list a budget decision rather than a personal one, which is a strange thing for an invitation product to do.
No free path
You commit before you have seen how the invitation looks with your own details, photograph and date in it.
Templates always look their best in the preview, populated with a designer’s sample text. Real event names are longer, real dates are more awkward, and you only find out afterwards.
