In their own words
Duva
Duva is a web platform for wedding websites, guest lists, RSVPs, messaging, and planning. Its site builder supports pages for schedules, travel, galleries, registries, FAQs, and RSVP responses. Guests can respond through a personalized link or household name lookup without installing an app or creating a Duva account. Organizers can assign guests to separate ceremonies and track headcounts and responses for each event. The guest list accepts CSV imports and per-event assignments; Duva describes it as designed for 500+ guests. A free planner includes a categorized checklist, an estimate-versus-actual budget tracker, and a vendor tracker. Invitations and reminders can go by SMS to +1 numbers and WhatsApp to supported numbers outside +1. Replies sent directly to those messages do not record an RSVP; guests need to use the browser page. Duva also offers more than 25 animated save-the-date designs, with free and premium options. The free plan includes the website, RSVP, guest list, checklist, budget, and vendor tracker. One-time paid options include messaging unlock for $10 as a one-time purchase. Duva supports multiple events but does not offer custom domains.
The Knot Wedding Websites
The Knot Wedding Websites gives couples a place to organize and share wedding information with guests. Its free templates span 100+ designs, many with coordinating wedding stationery, and couples can customize colors, photos, text and sections. Sections can cover event details, dress code, travel information and wedding party details. The site supports RSVP collection, including a custom page for guest details, and lets couples link registries from any source. Guest messaging is included in the free plan. The website integrates with The Knot mobile app and free planning tools such as the guest list manager and message templates. In the Wedding Planner app, couples can create and preview a site, edit themes and sections, upload photos, and choose which pages are visible. The Knot offers web, Android and iOS access. The free plan includes core website features, templates, RSVPs, registry links and guest messaging. A custom domain costs $39.98 a year, billed $39.98 for two years; a Premium.wedding domain costs $99.99 a year. Once registered, a custom domain cannot be changed without buying another at the standard price.
