For the host who wants replies, not a bill

    Online invitations with live replies, free to make in minutes

    A proper invitation that collects answers does not need a budget line. Write the details once, send the link, and watch every reply arrive on one list as it lands.

    Why a live page beats another group text

    A message in a chat is read once and buried. By the time anyone asks what time, or which gate, or whether they can bring someone, the answer is three scrolls deep and half the group never saw it. An online invitation puts every detail on one page that stays put, so the reply is not a guess and the questions answer themselves.

    Making that page costs nothing to start. You write the details, choose a look, and turn on replies. What comes back is a record, not a fragment of conversation: each yes attached to a name, so the count you read is real.

    A short invitation note, free to send

    You do not need a designer or a long paragraph. This is the whole message for a small send-off, and the page underneath carries the rest.

    The note you send
    We're raising a glass to Lena before she moves towns. Saturday the 14th, six o'clock, at the back room above the Mill. Everything's on the page, and there's a button to tell us if you can come.
    The line guests see on the page
    Tap yes, name anyone coming with you, and add a note if there's anything we should know about food.

    What a free invitation already does

    One link that travels

    The invitation lives on a single shareable link you can post into WhatsApp, send by email or text, or print as a QR for a board.

    A reply button, not a phone call

    Guests tap to confirm in a couple of seconds. Their answer becomes a record on your list rather than a message you have to decode and copy down.

    Reminders for the quiet ones

    People who never answer can be nudged from the list itself, so you are not typing the same apology text again.

    Small things that make replies come back

    Free does not mean careless. These few choices are the difference between a handful of replies and most of the list answering.

    • Restate the date and the place right beside the reply button, so guests answer with the facts in front of them.
    • Give a plain reply-by date rather than a vague soon, so people know when you actually need to know.
    • Keep the reply short; every extra question lowers how many people finish it.
    • Say what happens next, whether a yes reserves a place at a table or just a seat in the room.

    How it works

    From a few details to replies on a list

    Write the details, or let Jitabi draft them

    Type the who, when and where yourself, or send one line to Jitabi on WhatsApp and correct what comes back. The page starts on the free plan.

    Turn on replies and publish

    Switch RSVP on so the invitation both announces and collects. Nothing is visible to guests until you publish, so you can shape it in private.

    Send the one link and read the list

    Post the link wherever your guests already are. Names tick off as people confirm, and the running count is accurate well before you need it.

    Questions

    Common questions about online invitations free

    Do I have to pay anything to send invitations?

    No. You start free, publish a real page, and send the link. If your plans grow, you can move up later; the current limits and prices are on /pricing rather than guessed here.

    Can guests reply without making an account?

    They open the link, read the page, and tap to reply in a couple of seconds. Nothing to install and no sign-up standing between their yes and your list.

    Does chasing the people who never reply cost extra?

    Reminders to non-responders come from inside the guest list, so the follow-up is part of the invitation rather than a separate paid tool. Where the plan boundaries sit is set out on /pricing.

    Will people see an unfinished invitation?

    No. An unpublished page stays private until you publish it, so you can take your time on the wording before anyone outside your household can open the link.

    Does a free invitation look basic?

    Not necessarily. A free page uses the same ready-made mobile-first layouts and the same wording controls as any other; you pick a design and rewrite the lines in your own voice. If you later want the finer touches you can move up, and where those lines sit is on /pricing.
