Greenvelope vs Paperless Post
Greenvelope charges a flat price by guest count (around $99 for 100 guests and $199 for 200), with every feature included. Paperless Post charges per recipient in coins, so the price depends on the design — premium designs run roughly $60–115 per 100 guests — and it also offers a yearly Pro plan. For a large guest list Greenvelope's tiers are easier to predict; for small lists or simple designs Paperless Post can be cheaper.

Which should you choose?
Choose Greenvelope if you have a large guest list and want a predictable price with everything included. Choose Paperless Post if you have a small list, love a particular designer collection, or will send many events through the year with a Pro plan.
Both are do-it-yourself: you pick a design and edit the text. If you want the invitation designed around your wedding — your venue, colours, events and story — and to open straight into a full wedding website, a designed invitation is the third option.
