Is Nimanto a good Evite alternative?

Yes, if ads or guest caps are what you want to avoid. Nimanto’s free designs carry no ads and no guest limit, replies come back with plus-ones and your own questions, and premium designs are paid once per invitation, not by how many people you invite.

Moving across takes a few minutes: pick a design in the catalogue, fill in the details, and import your guest list from a CSV or Excel file. Then send each guest their personal link by e-mail or WhatsApp, or share one link in a group chat.

Questions people ask

Does Evite show ads on free invitations?

Yes. Evite lists ad removal as a paid upgrade and says guests get an ad-free experience when you send a Premium invitation. Nimanto shows no ads on any invitation, free or paid, so guests see only your invitation.

Is Nimanto cheaper than Evite?

Usually, for longer lists. Evite Premium is priced per invitation by guest count, from $17.99 for up to 12 guests to $99.99 for up to 750. Nimanto never charges by guest count: free designs are free for any number of guests, and a premium design is one price per invitation.

Can I send a Nimanto invitation on WhatsApp?

Yes. From the guest list, the WhatsApp button opens a chat with each guest and their own invitation link already written, so their reply is matched to their name. You can also share one link in a group, and anyone who replies joins your guest list.

Does Nimanto send invitations by text?

No. Nimanto e-mails invitations for you, and WhatsApp messages go from your own phone with each guest’s personal link filled in. Evite can send texts itself, to US and Canadian numbers only.
