FAQ

Fast answers to common comparison questions.

What is the best Evite alternative for family RSVPs?
Hejmo is built for household responses, private-by-default invite links, and no-account guest RSVP flow.
How is Hejmo different from Paperless Post?
Paperless Post focuses on premium card designs and stationery aesthetics. Hejmo prioritizes fast setup, household-level RSVPs, private invite links, and a no-account guest flow — features that matter most for real-life family gatherings.
What is the easiest invite app for a kids' birthday party?
Hejmo lets you send one link per family. Parents respond for the household in two taps — no app download, no account needed. Add dietary notes and private links for each guest group.
Do guests need an account to RSVP with Hejmo?
No. Guests RSVP in two taps without creating an account.
What should I choose if I only care about deep design customization?
Design-first platforms may fit better. Hejmo prioritizes fast setup, family RSVP logistics, and privacy controls first.
