Why people look for a Paperless Post alternative
Paperless Post is a digital card and invitation service known for designer stationery styles. It is a well known choice, and for many hosts it works. People start searching for a Paperless Post alternative when their event outgrows a simple invitation link: guests who never open email, a host who needs help with more than the card, or a celebration that needs a full event page with RSVPs, details and photos in one place.
Below we list what Paperless Post actually offers and what it costs, taken from Paperless Post's own website and help pages in October 2026. Prices and features can change, so confirm on Paperless Post's site before you decide.
What Paperless Post offers and what it costs
Paperless Post features and pricing (checked October 2026)
- Free invitation and card designs, plus paid designs priced in Coins, the site's virtual credits
- Paid designs start at 2 Coins per card sent; cost is Coins per guest multiplied by the number of guests
- Example from its pricing page: 5 Coins per guest works out to US$1.05 per guest, or US$52.50 for 50 guests, with lower per guest prices for larger lists
- Feature sets (Free, Basic, Premium and above) that bundle envelopes, backdrops, photo gallery, video, travel and accommodation blocks
- A Paperless Pro annual subscription for frequent hosts, and a 25% nonprofit discount
- The former Plus bundle was retired on 14 July 2026 and folded into the feature sets
If you want stationery style designer cards with envelopes and liners, Paperless Post is strong at that.
What My Joyfullday does differently
RSVPs and reminders on WhatsApp
Many guests ignore email but answer WhatsApp within minutes. My Joyfullday lets guests reply and receive reminders on WhatsApp, so your headcount fills in faster and you spend less time chasing late replies one by one.
Real people help you plan
Software alone cannot tell you how to word a tricky invitation or what to do when the venue changes the date. My Joyfullday gives you human planning help over WhatsApp, so you can ask a real person instead of searching help articles at midnight.
No ads on your guests' pages
Your event page is about your celebration. Guests who open a My Joyfullday page see your details, not advertising.
Free for three months, pay only to keep your site
You can build and share your event site free for the first three months. You only pay if you decide to keep your site after that, so you can test everything with real guests before spending anything.
