AreOne vs The Knot Wedding Websites

AreOne is a web platform for creating digital wedding invitations, communicating with guests, and collecting RSVPs. Guests can confirm attendance, choose a meal, and leave a note without making an account. Its dashboard tracks attendance counts, pending and declined responses, meal preferences, and response-rate trends. Invitations can be shared by link or QR code; users can download a QR code or print a PDF. Guests can add the wedding to Google Calendar or save an .ics file. Event Pass features include CSV guest-list exports, seating plans, and printable place cards. Invitation designs can be bilingual, with Arabic-English and Persian-English examples. AreOne says it processes uploaded guest data and does not market to guests or use their information for its own purposes. It also says it does not sell personal information or store full card numbers on its servers. The free plan lasts seven days and allows up to 30 guests and one invitation, with preview-only access and free-badge templates. The Event Pass costs ₹3,686 one-time.
