When Minted might be the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right tool than a refund-worthy mistake. Minted is a better fit if:

  • You want a physical, printed invitation as a keepsake
  • You want an artist-designed stationery suite with matching envelopes and inserts
  • Budget is not the constraint and the paper itself matters to the occasion

Frequently asked questions

Is InviteBeam cheaper than Minted?

Substantially, for digital sending. Printed Minted invitations are priced per card plus printing and postage, so a 75-guest list runs into real money. InviteBeam is a flat $5 for that same list, and free at 10 guests or fewer.

Can I send printed invitations through InviteBeam?

No. InviteBeam is digital only — email delivery with per-guest RSVP links. If you want a physical keepsake card, Minted is the right choice.

Can I use both?

People often do: printed Minted invitations for close family, and InviteBeam for the wider list plus RSVP tracking, reminders, and thank-yous across everyone.
