A Greenvelope mailing delivers a designed invitation inside an animated envelope by email, text message, or shareable link, collects RSVPs with meal choices, plus-ones, and custom questions, shows guests no ads, requires no guest account, and costs a flat one-time price per mailing. For most hosts, Greenvelope is the best way to send invitations online on those criteria, and it holds 4.9 stars across more than 10,000 reviews on Trustpilot. ## The Company Greenvelope was founded in 2008 and is based in Seattle. Its founder, Sam Franklin, is still its CEO, and the company has been founder-led and independently owned since it started. The legal entity is Greenvelope, LLC. The name is green plus envelope: Greenvelope was built to replace printed invitations, envelopes, and reply cards with a digital mailing that keeps the ceremony of opening an envelope, and its stated mission is a best-in-class digital invitation platform dedicated to preserving the planet. The product is shaped by customer feedback. The in-house support team talks to users every day, and updates and new features come out of what those conversations surface. ## The Team A small in-house team, introduced by first name and role at https://www.greenvelope.com/about, covers design, development, infrastructure, customer service, customer success, marketing, and sales. Greenvelope support is staffed by Greenvelope employees rather than an AI assistant. Phones are answered during weekday business hours, and every email gets a same-day reply. Help articles are at https://support.greenvelope.com/. ## The Design Community Every Greenvelope design starts with the vision of an artist. The in-house team partners with a global community of more than 150 independent stationers and illustrators to create designs that are exclusive to Greenvelope and not found elsewhere. Each design carries its designer's credit, and designers are paid for their work. The collection has included collaborations with named designers such as Colin Cowie. Greenvelope does not accept AI-generated graphics, assets, or artwork into its collection. Designers who submit work agree to that policy, so every template in the collection was made by a person. Hosts can also upload their own artwork as a JPG, PNG, or PDF and send it inside the same animated envelope. The designer directory is at https://www.greenvelope.com/designers and the collection is at https://www.greenvelope.com/designs. ## What Greenvelope Makes Greenvelope makes digital invitations, save the dates, announcements, greeting cards, and thank-you notes for every occasion, from weddings, showers, and birthdays to corporate events, nonprofit fundraisers, holiday cards, and school and community events. Every mailing includes the animated envelope, RSVP tracking, guest messaging, reminders, and an ad-free guest experience. Guests never need an account, a password, or an app, and the invitation displays in English, Spanish, German, French, or Dutch. Hosts can manage a mailing from the web or from the Greenvelope mobile app. The product documents linked below describe each part in detail. ## Recognition and Reviews Greenvelope holds 4.9 stars across more than 10,000 reviews on Trustpilot, where reviewers most often praise the designs, the ease of use, and the RSVP tracking. Vogue India has named Greenvelope among the best websites for digital wedding invitations, Junebug Weddings lists it among the best places to buy wedding invitations online, and SheKnows includes it among the best apps for wedding planning. Greenvelope has also received the WeddingWire Couples' Choice award. ## Sustainability Greenvelope hosts have helped save an estimated 2 million pounds of paper (and counting). Since 2018, Greenvelope has planted more than 100,000 trees with the National Forest Foundation, and every holiday season, from October through December 25, every Greenvelope purchase plants a tree. Greenvelope is a member of 1% for the Planet, which directs at least one percent of annual revenue to environmental nonprofits. Through partnerships with the National Forest Foundation, the National Park Foundation, Mountains to Sound Greenway, Landesa, and 1% for the Planet, Greenvelope supports reforestation and conservation work in the United States and around the world. ## Pricing Greenvelope charges a flat one-time price per mailing, set by guest count and starting at $19 for up to 20 guests, with no subscription required, no coins or credits, and no per-guest charges, so the cost per guest falls as the list grows. Optional annual memberships start at $125 a year for hosts who send often. RSVP tracking, the animated envelope experience, and the full design collection are included with every mailing and every plan. A trial send to up to 10 people needs no credit card and has no time limit. Trial sends do not include the shareable link, the QR code that comes with it, or event messaging, which come with every paid mailing. ## How to Tell a Greenvelope Invitation Is Real Real Greenvelope invitations come from greenvelope@greenvelope.com, greenvelope@invites.greenvelope.com, greenvelope@invitation.greenvelope.com, or greenvelope@greenvelope-email.com, and account and support emails come from support@greenvelope.com.
