Start with the key questions
Answer these honestly to narrow your options:
Do you want online RSVPs?
Yes --> You need Standard or Pro (Basic doesn't include RSVPs)
No --> Basic might work if you're doing paper RSVPs or using another RSVP method
Online RSVPs are the single biggest feature differentiator between Basic and higher plans.
Do you need planning tools?
Yes → You need Pro (only Pro includes budget tracker, seating chart, timeline, checklist)
No → Standard is enough if you just want website + RSVPs
Planning tools only exist in Pro. If budgets and seating charts matter, Pro is your only option.
Do you need multilingual support?
Yes → You need Pro (only Pro supports multiple languages)
No --> Basic or Standard work fine for single-language websites
Multilingual is a Pro-exclusive feature.
Decision tree
Follow this logic:
Just want a wedding website, no RSVP needed:
--> Basic plan
Want website + online RSVPs:
→ Standard plan
Want website + RSVPs + planning tools OR need multilingual:
→ Pro plan
This simple tree covers 90% of decisions.
Your wedding situation
Match your scenario:
Small, simple wedding (under 50 guests)
Basic ($39) if you're doing RSVPs casually
Standard if you still want organized online RSVPs
Pro only if you want planning tools for peace of mind
Small weddings don't necessarily need Pro's elaborate features, but some couples appreciate the organization anyway.
Medium wedding (50-150 guests)
Standard minimum - online RSVPs become very valuable at this size
Pro if you want planning tools or have complex logistics
Medium weddings benefit significantly from proper guest management.
Large wedding (150+ guests)
Standard minimum - managing 150+ paper RSVPs is painful
Pro recommended - seating charts and planning tools become really valuable
Large weddings create enough complexity that Pro's planning features often pay for themselves in time saved.
Destination wedding
Standard minimum for guest management and RSVPs
Pro if you need multilingual support or complex coordination
Planning tools help manage travel logistics for guests
Multicultural or international wedding
Pro if you need multilingual website support
Standard if everyone speaks one language but you have international guests
Very simple ceremony
Basic might be plenty if your wedding is extremely casual and you don't need formal RSVPs
Some couples go with Standard anyway for convenience
Wedding with professional planner
Depends on what your planner provides
If planner has their own systems, maybe you only need Basic or Standard for the website/RSVPs
If you want your own planning tools, Pro still makes sense
Budget considerations
On a tight budget
Basic provides a professional website for just $39
Consider whether online RSVPs would save enough time/stress to justify upgrading to Standard
Mid-range budget
Standard is the sweet spot for most couples
Gets you website + full guest management without premium planning tools
Budget flexible
Pro if you value comprehensive organization
Consider whether planning tools will actually be used or just nice-to-have
Time and organization priorities
Super organized, love planning
Pro feeds your organizational needs
Planning tools become helpful assets rather than overwhelming features
Stressed and overwhelmed
Pro might provide structure and relief
OR Standard if more tools would feel like more complexity
Know yourself. Does more structure help or hurt?
Short timeline (wedding soon)
Any plan works for short timelines
Standard still valuable for quick RSVP collection
Pro planning tools might not get fully utilized if you're weeks away
Long timeline (12+ months out)
Pro lets you use planning tools throughout the full planning period
More time to benefit from budgets, checklists, timelines
Technical comfort
Not tech-savvy
Any plan works (all designed for non-technical users)
Basic has fewer features to learn
Standard adds guest management complexity but stays manageable
Pro includes most features but everything remains intuitive
Very comfortable with tech
You'll adapt to any plan easily
Choose based on features needed, not interface complexity
What you're already using
Already tracking budget in spreadsheets
Maybe you don't need Pro's budget tool
Standard might be enough if your spreadsheet system works
Already have guest list somewhere
You can import to any plan with guest features
Standard or Pro still valuable for RSVP integration
Using multiple separate tools
Pro could consolidate everything into one system
Consider whether consolidation actually helps or complicates
Can't decide between Standard and Pro?
Start with Standard if:
- You're uncertain about needing planning tools
- You want to see if simpler is better
- Budget is a concern
- You can always upgrade later
Start with Pro if:
- You know you want planning tools
- Organization is a priority
- You need multilingual support
- Upgrade costs don't concern you
The upgrade option
Remember: you can start with any plan and upgrade later. This means:
- Start conservative (Basic or Standard)
- Upgrade if you realize you need more
- Pay only the difference
OR
Start with what you think you'll need (Pro)
Avoid upgrade hassle
Have all features from day one
Still unsure?
Start with the free trial. You can design your entire site without paying anything and upgrade when you're ready to publish.
Ask yourself:
1. What would make planning significantly easier?
2. Which features would actually get used vs. just sound nice?
3. What's causing the most stress right now?
4. How much is peace of mind worth?
Match answers to plan features.
