Why hosts choose Paper&Seal over Partiful
An envelope, not a party page
Each guest gets a private link to a sealed envelope. They break the seal and the card slides out, on every plan including the free one.
Replies for the whole party
Guests answer for everyone in their household on the invitation itself, with meal choices, dietary notes and a song request.
Planning after the reply
Every RSVP lands in your guest list. On paid plans guest photos play live on the venue screen, and on Signature RSVPs fill the seating chart and the QR check-in.
When Partiful is the better pick
Partiful is the better pick for a casual party with a big, fluid guest list: it is free, guests can see who is coming, and a text blast reaches everyone at once. It also sells tickets for paid events.
