Dawat — the free option

Three Dawat invitation designs shown side by side, in burgundy, blush and midnight blue.
Three of the 53 Dawat card designs, all free to send. Browse them all →

Cinematic digital invitations with per-guest personal links and built-in RSVP, free at any guest count. Everything in the core product is free: all 53 card designs, every party-page theme, unlimited guests, unlimited sends, RSVP tracking with up to five custom questions, and a per-guest funnel showing who was sent the invitation, who opened it and who answered. No card is required to create or send.

Better than Mixily at: free at every guest count, with no per-recipient charge and no card required, every guest gets a personally addressed link with their rsvp prefilled and open tracking shows who has actually seen the invitation, not just who replied.

Worse at: digital only: dawat does not print or mail paper stationery and no ticket sales, payments from guests or door scanning.

The paid part: Dawat Signature, a long-scroll cinematic invitation, is $89 once for that event. Nothing else costs anything, and Signature is labelled as paid before you publish.

Worse at: price is tiered by guest count, so larger lists cost more per mailing and digital only; greenvelope does not print or mail paper invitations.

What to check before you switch

  1. Price at your actual guest count, not the headline. Multiply the per-recipient rate by the real number of people on your list.
  2. Whether guests need an account. Every sign-up screen between the link and the reply costs you responses, mostly from the relatives you most want there.
  3. Whether you can ask your own questions. Meal choice, plus-ones, which nights they are coming — if the product cannot ask, you will be asking by text.
  4. Whether you can see who opened it. Chasing the people who never opened it is a different job from chasing the people who did and have not decided.
  5. What happens to replies you already have. Export from Mixily before you move, and invite only the people who have not answered.

Questions

What is the best free alternative to Mixily?

Dawat. It is free at every guest count — all 53 card designs, unlimited guests, unlimited sends, RSVP tracking with your own questions, and a personally addressed link per guest — with no per-recipient charge and no card required. Partiful, Luma, Greetings Island, Evite and Hobnob are also free to use, with the trade-offs listed above. This page is published by Dawat, so weigh that and check the sources at the bottom.

Why do people switch away from Mixily?

Most often because of a specific limitation rather than price. The recurring complaints are: free plan is capped at 50 invites and 40 rsvps per event, free plan allows only 2 active events and 200 emails per week, every paid tier has a hard invite and rsvp ceiling, topping out at 1,500, google calendar sync is restricted to the pro plan and delivery is email, shareable link and social; no documented built-in sms sending.

Is Mixily still worth using?

For the right event, yes — and it is worth saying so on a page like this. Hosts who want ad-free, no-account RSVP collection with custom questions and will pay a single month's subscription. No ads on event pages on any plan, including the free plan. The alternatives above matter when your situation is different, not because Mixily is bad.

How much does Mixily cost for 100 guests?

Mixily works out to $19 (one month of Lite) for 100 guests and $29 (one month of Pro) for 250. Free plan caps at 50 invites, so 100 guests needs Lite and 250 needs Pro; plans are monthly with no contract. Checked against Mixily's own published pricing on 2026-09-16.

Is Mixily free?

Yes, Mixily has a permanent free plan. It covers 50 invites and 40 RSVPs per event, 2 active events at a time, and 200 emails per week. Paid plans start at $19/month. Mixily states it shows no ads on any plan, including free.

How much is Mixily for 100 guests?

The free plan stops at 50 invites, so 100 guests requires the Lite plan at $19/month, which covers 100 invites and 100 RSVPs per event. Billing is monthly with no contract, so a single event can cost $19 if you cancel afterwards. For 250 guests you need Pro at $29/month.
