Where RSVP Websites wins
One link: invitation and RSVP together
On Zola the invitation and the website are separate, with RSVP on the website. Here guests open one link and reply on the same page.
No registry or shop
Zola is free because it sells through its registry and shop. We charge a flat £40 and nothing is sold to your guests.
Your own web address included
Zola charges about $18 to $20 a year for a custom domain. Ours is included, and your own domain connects at no extra cost.
Every kind of event
Zola is for weddings. Our designs cover engagements, birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries and company events too.
Where Zola wins
- It is free, and the site does not expire.
- A gift registry and a shop, including printed invitations.
- A large, well-known wedding brand.
Choose Zola if you want a free wedding website tied to a registry and are happy with the promotion that comes with it.
Choose RSVP Websites if you want a designed invitation that is also the RSVP page, for a flat price and with nothing sold to guests.
Questions people ask
- Is Zola free?
- The website is free; Zola earns from its registry and shop. A custom domain and premium designs cost extra. RSVP Websites is £40 once, address included.
- Does Zola handle RSVPs?
- Yes, on the wedding website. With us the invitation itself is the RSVP page, so guests do not move from a card to a site to a form.
- Does a Zola site expire?
- No. Ours is live for a year from payment, then shows an “invitation has ended” page for 30 days before the address is released. Paying again adds another year.
