Life Invites costs a single one-time payment, from $169 to $1,335 across 4 plans, depending on how much is made for you. Every plan includes the sealed envelope, music, live countdown, and a working RSVP. You build and preview for free — you only pay when you're ready to publish and share. Hosting is free for the first 90 days, then $15/month.
Build and preview free. All 4 plans include the envelope, the music, the motion, and a working RSVP.

Each plan is a single one-time payment made when you choose to publish — not a subscription. The only recurring charge is optional: $15/month to keep your page live after the first 90 days of free hosting are used.
Pick a template, personalize it in the studio, and see the finished invitation exactly as guests will. No payment required to design or preview.
Choose your tier ($169–$1,335) and pay a single one-time fee. This unlocks your live link and starts your 90 days of included hosting.
Your invitation stays live free for 90 days. After that, keep it live for $15/month, or let it lapse — we retain your content for up to 12 months in case you want it back.
Beyond the 4 core plans, 2 things can be added on top of your tier: extra hosting time after your first 90 days, and printed QR cards for guests who need a physical paper invite. Printed QR cards are already included at the Custom — We Build It tier.

No. Every plan is a single one-time payment to design and publish your invitation. The only optional recurring cost is $15/month if you want to keep your page live after the first 90 days of included hosting.
Everything up to publishing: picking a template, personalizing it in the studio, and previewing the finished invitation exactly as your guests would see it. Payment is only required when you're ready to publish and share your link.
Your invitation is hosted free for 90 days after you publish. After that, you can pay $15/month to keep the same live address active, or stop — your page stays live through any period already paid, and we keep your content for up to 12 months in case you want to bring it back.
The Template ($169) restyles a living template with your words, colors, and details — you can preview your own photos and films in every slot, but publishing uses the template's built-in visuals. Template + Your Media ($449) unlocks publishing with your own photos and films throughout, plus a custom wax seal and monogram crest, and a full RSVP dashboard with guests, meals, and plus-ones.
At AI Designer ($913) and above. Instead of restyling a living template, you describe each section and our AI studio builds a one-of-one design around your story — your own sections, bespoke imagery (AI-created, your own photos, or both), and wording and music written for you, with two rounds of refinement included. AI Designer has a dedicated waitlist while we finish the experience.
Custom — We Build It ($1,335) is fully done-for-you: tell us everything — your story, your photos and films, whether you want AI-generated video and what it should show — and our studio designs and builds it around you one-on-one, with revision rounds until you love it, priority delivery, and printed QR cards for guests who need a paper invite.
Yes — and upgrading never charges you twice. Move up from any paid plan to a higher one and everything you already paid counts in full: checkout automatically applies it as credit, so The Template ($169) upgrades to Template + Your Media ($449) for $280, and the same difference-only pricing applies all the way up to Custom — We Build It. Your work carries over exactly as you left it.
No. Guests open your invitation link for free and RSVP through the built-in form — there is no cost or account required on their end at any tier.
No. The price shown at checkout is the full price — no added service fees or taxes.
Your invitation's address shows a notice instead of the live page. We retain your published content for up to 12 months after hosting lapses, so restarting hosting brings it back — after that period, content may be deleted.
Yes, at any tier. Changes to schedule, RSVP details, or content are free and go live instantly, even the night before your event.
Design and preview everything free — pay only when you share it.
