- Per-person RSVPs. One relative can reply for a household while each person still gets their own yes or no for each event.

Which one to pick
- Pick Wedd.ai if your wedding is mainly in India, your guests are on WhatsApp, and you want AI tools, a to-do board, budgeting and an AI photo gallery in one rupee-priced app.
- Pick Cordially Wed if your guests span the US or UK and family abroad, you want SMS and WhatsApp replies in one inbox, unlimited messages for one payment, and Wallet passes that update when plans change.
Both let you start free. Import a slice of your real guest list into each, send yourself a test, and keep the one you would rather use in the busy week before the wedding.
Key takeaways
Start with where your guests are.
WhatsApp-only guest lists in India suit Wedd.ai. Lists that mix US or UK numbers with family abroad need SMS and WhatsApp together.
Check how messages are counted.
Wedd.ai plans include a WhatsApp allowance with top-ups. Cordially Wed charges by phone numbers and never counts messages.
Try both with a real slice of your list.
Both start free. Ten real guests and one test message will tell you more than any comparison page.
