Heard from many of my guests that they never recieved the invite even though the invite tracker said they had opened it. Had to send custom links to each guest via text or email. Guest list upload from CSV was also a nightmare. Never again.

No mention of this not being free until your guest list and email addresses are entered and ready to send. What a waste of time. No wonder their reviews are horrible. I'd give zero stars if I could. Consumers beware. Avoid this deceptive company.

Have used this free e-vite website several times in the past and now realize why I no longer use it. It doesn't work. Period. Use this site only if you don't mind spending a considerable amount of time designing your invitation only to have it disappear (along with your entire guest list). Or, sometimes the guest list is there, but you get a big 404 error message where your carefully designed invitation used to be. Or vice versa. Unfortunately, with Paperless Post you get what you pay for.

I created a wedding invite, they do not have a lot of choices with in the template, only 2 pages not enough pages for a wedding invite. I collected all my guest emails. The cost was an expensive amount $50. For only 80 emails. It has been 2 days since I sent the invite, it has not gone out. I have called *******234 no answer, and emailed them with no response Im asking for a full refund. I would not use them they seriously suck.

Unworkable website
May 18, 2024

I give up with Paperless post. The website is so hard to fill out to create a relatively simple birthday invitation and is so hard to navigate that after 5 hours of trying ( and I am a fairly sophisticated internet user) I give up. This web site is useless!

Do not use this company unless you want to be embarrassed! I created what seem to be a simple graduation invitation for my sons high school graduation. Wrote it, proofed it, sent it only to find out they had my son's photo with an invitation to a guy named George's party with all of George's information from 1938. My guests texted me back laughing but I was embarrassed. Okay, it happens. Thought I made the mistake. Did not. Contacted their on line chat several times. Each revision we tried, it got some areas corrected and other areas were not. In the end, I sent an apology to my guest list and requested my MONEY BACK from the "Coin" purchase of $38. Next time, I'd written use an old fashioned hand written invitation. TERRIBLE SERVICE.

I struggled for over an hour trying to figure out how to put my invitation list into the site to send the invites. Then after thinking I had my invitation designed properly with all the info on the invitation; the final invitation looked jumbled and some of the wording did not fit on the page so my information was left off. I sent it out in frustration just so my guests would get something and then I paid $30 for a badly designed invitation. Unless I have 2-3 hours to kill, I will not use this method again. Back to paper invites I go!

I spent over 5 hours trying to figure how to send invites after completing my personal invitations it just leads me to getting coins. This website is definitely a scam and I would like my money back ASAP.

What a scam
October 14, 2020

The payment system is awful.
NOT FREE.
The main page deliberately avoids any mention of the exorbitant cost.
It's a shock once one has put the time into the the invite.
But the WORST part by far is being scammed for "coins" to make one pay for more units than they needed.

So naturally we stole the design and pasted it into emails because the business plan is horrible when each customer is left dissatisfied.

Awful experience
May 4, 2024

I will never use your site again. Not only did my password stop working but half of the invites I sent out never got to the recipients. On top of that I couldn't log into each replay to see if they were accepting or not. They deceptively added there site to the bottom of Evite so you are tricked into thinking that that is who you are ordering from. I wasn't expecting to pay $2 for 6 invitations.

Given up!
December 5, 2020

Spent over 20 minutes trying to send a card. Awful! Neither myself or younger daughter can work out how this works, and despite designing the card and trying to send it to my nephew, the website insists that we haven't selected the recipient's email address (which we have, several times over!). Asked the site to send ME a preview of the card so that I could at least see what would happen if it actually did send, and the card wouldn't open, so we have now given up and are going to find an easier site to navigate. A shame as the card looked quite good!

I've unsubscribed numerous times but a female who called and literally threatened to report me to my "boss and pastor" for giving her a bad business review on the Better Business Bureau website keeps sending me ads for her horrible dating service through Paperless Post. I don't want to have any contact with someone who would threaten my employment because she doesn't do a good job in her own field, but this company is aiding her in harassing me.

Event went missing
August 13, 2021

I spent time and money creating my sons birthday invite. Sent it out, got rsvps and then boom. I tried to track my rsvps and kept getting error messages. Finally logged in and my event was completely missing. Very annoyed that my guests can't click the link that was emailed to them, let alone, I used this site to track rsvps and now I'm at a loss.

This is a poor website
August 23, 2019

First, my invitation listed the party as continuing from 5PM one day to 9PM the following day. When I tried to return to fix that, it removed all of my information and reverted to the sample information. Unknowingly, I emailed both invitations. When I wrote for help, I was given a correct invitation, except the website changed my address to the wrong village. All in all, I would say that the website needs better instructions or else it really doesn't work. And it's not free. I have paid for it in order to get a nicer invitation.

This formerly useful online invitation has a HORRIBLE INTERFACE where obtaining a list alphabetized by last name, or acceptances and regrets, seems to be an impossibility. I have been using it for an annual party for at least five years and it gets worse by the year.

Go to EVITE
March 4, 2015

I'm trying to send out an online invite and have been wrestling with their address book. I uploaded 86 addresses and only 80 were in my address book. Not great, but solvable by manually adding them in. However, I can't. There's a bug that won't let me manually add an address or delete an address. KIND OF A PROBLEM.

Their support site is somewhat responsive, but their responses are cut/paste from a template and overall they are clueless.

THE WORST
April 24, 2021

I needed to send out 2 versions of my invitation, those in town and those out.
After painstakingly clicking the boxes of the first group, reviewing it at least 3 times, then trying to send, I was routed to BUY my coins first. Fine, did that and hit send at which time all the boxes reverted UNchecked and invites were sent TO EVERYONE. Now I have to contact the majority on the list to advise they are not invited to the restaurant and to await the Zoom link. I am already getting "Regrets" for the people who think they cannot attend at all. THANKS FOR THE EMBARRASSMENT AND EXTRA WORK PAPERLESS POST

We are so sorry for any sending issue with your event. After reading the summary of what happened, we would love to clarify if you were using two different drafts and the wrong version was sent to the wrong guests, or if we could help edit the card design. We will share with our product team to ensure each step is as clear as possible. Please let us know if we can help with anything else at help@paperlesspost.com.

What a waste of time.
September 13, 2017

A week after sending paperless post invites only a few had responded. When I contacted them they said that the invites wouldn't open and they just gave up...

Great looking front end and ridiculously bad functionality.

Almost Ruined Event
February 28, 2015

Paperlesspost.com is horrible! I sent out invitations for my son's birthday party. I found that it confused people by asking them to rsvp although they'd already responded. I have seen this when others have invited me to their events through paperlesspost.com, too. The worst was that I changed the time of the event two days after sending out the invitations, but paperless post did NOT alert guests of the time change. My guests arrived at the venue - which was not ready, and I was not there - two hours early. I was extremely embarrassed and worried that none of my kid's friends would return at the correct time. Luckily we have amazing friends and they all came back. Paperlesspost.com, however, sucks!

Date of experience: February 28, 2015

Overview

Paperless Post has a rating of 1.2 stars from 30 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Paperless Post most frequently mention guest list and several times. Paperless Post ranks 197th among Event Planning sites.
