Why people look for an Evite alternative

Evite is the name most people know, and it works. The usual complaints are about what comes with the free version: ads and gift suggestions on the invitation your guests open, and the nicer designs and an ad-free page sitting behind a per-event price. Other popular tools trade one problem for another, like asking every guest for a phone number before they can reply, or stopping the free plan after a set number of guests.

Kenji Invites was built for the host who just wants a good-looking invitation, a quick yes or no from every guest, and no catch.

What you get with Kenji Invites

Everything below is free, for any kind of celebration.

  • A designed invitation: 21 wedding designs and 15 for birthdays, showers, graduations, holidays and more
  • Up to 8 of your photos, arranged on the card with faces kept in view
  • A personal link for each guest, sent by text or email from your own phone, or one shared link for a group chat or QR code
  • Seat limits per guest, so replies can't go over what you planned
  • A countdown, map links, calendar buttons and a phone wallpaper for guests
  • A guest list with every answer, head counts, notes and a spreadsheet download
  • Co-hosts who see the same list

When another tool is the better pick

We would rather you pick the right tool. Kenji Invites does not sell tickets, run potluck sign-up sheets, or ask custom questions like meal choices beyond a free-text note. If you need those, a ticketing or event-registration tool will serve you better. If you want printed paper invitations mailed for you, a stationery company is the way to go. For a party, a shower, a birthday or a wedding where you want to know who is coming, this does the job for free.

How the RSVP works

You add your guests

Type or paste names with a phone number or email, and choose how many seats each one gets. A couple gets 2, a family of four gets 4.

You send each one their own link

Tap Text or Email next to a guest and your phone opens a message with their link already in it. It comes from you, so people open it.

They tap Yes or No

Guests see the invitation with a countdown to the party, then reply with how many are coming and their names. No app, no account. Every answer shows up on your guest list.

What free means here

  • Free. Making it, sending it and tracking replies. No paid tier needed to send.
  • No ads on the invitation your guests open.
  • No guest accounts. Guests tap a link and answer. Nothing to download.
  • No sign-in for you either. You get a private link to your invitations that works on any phone.
  • Seats per guest. Replies can't go over the number you set.
  • Up to 8 photos, a countdown, maps, calendar buttons and a phone wallpaper for guests.
