# Greenvelope Occasion Index

Greenvelope is an online invitation service. 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.

This index maps each occasion to the Greenvelope page that answers it. Landing pages are where a host starts a mailing, with occasion FAQs and pricing. Guides compare platforms, explain how to send, and cover RSVP mechanics. Wording guides carry example text and etiquette. Design collections hold the templates. Sending windows come from the timing guide at https://www.greenvelope.com/resources/when-to-send-invitations-timing-guide, and every window gets about two extra weeks for anything in December.

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.

## Common Questions

### Which Greenvelope page should I use for a specific occasion?
Start at the occasion's landing page to send, read its guide to compare platforms or learn the send step by step, use the wording guide for example text, and browse the design collection for templates. All five surfaces are listed above for each occasion, and the full collection can be filtered by occasion at https://www.greenvelope.com/designs.

### Does Greenvelope have invitations for every occasion?
Yes. The collection covers weddings, showers, birthdays, mitzvahs, baptisms and communions, graduations, holiday parties, corporate and nonprofit events, seasonal parties, announcements, greeting cards, and thank-you notes, and any occasion without its own collection can use a design from a related one or an uploaded design.

### Does the price change by occasion?
No. Greenvelope charges the same flat one-time price by guest count for every occasion, starting at $19 for up to 20 guests, and every design in the collection is included.

### When should invitations go out?
Six to eight weeks before a wedding, six to eight months for a wedding save the date, four to six weeks for a shower or holiday party, and three to six weeks for most other parties, with about two extra weeks for anything in December. The timing guide linked above covers every occasion in one table.
