Short answer: WedMake is free and gives you a real webpage rather than a file, which already puts it ahead of most card makers. Its RSVP is a button that opens WhatsApp, a phone call or a text message. That is not RSVP tracking — it is a faster way for three hundred people to contact you individually, and somebody in your family still ends up keeping the list.
WedMake describes itself as 100% free with no fee and no commission, focused on Kerala and Indian weddings. Facts were read off its public pages on 16 September 2026.
What “one click to WhatsApp, call and text to RSVP” actually means
It means the guest taps a button and a message or a call starts, addressed to you. Three hundred guests tapping that button is three hundred conversations. The reply arrives as a WhatsApp message from a number you may not have saved, saying “yes we are coming”, with no indication of which functions and how many people.
Somebody — usually the bride’s mother or the one cousin who is good with spreadsheets — then reads all three hundred conversations and builds the list by hand. That is the work the wedding website was supposed to remove.
A tracked RSVP is different in kind. The guest answers per function, the answer is stored against their name, and the count updates. Nobody transcribes anything.

Why Wedence leads
Free should mean free of work, not just free of charge. The point of a wedding website is to stop the phone ringing. A page whose RSVP is a call button moves the calls from “before you sent the invitation” to “after”, and adds a transcription job. Wedence’s per-event RSVP is free too, and it produces numbers.
Five functions, five counts. The haldi at home has a capacity. The sangeet caterer wants a number by Tuesday. Sixty guests are reception-only. Those are five different answers and you get all five without asking anyone twice.
The people who have not replied get chased for you. On Pro, Wedence sends WhatsApp reminders only to non-responders, on approved templates, with a cooldown so nobody is messaged twice in a week — and reports who received and who answered.
The invitation is designed for the ceremony. Ten designs built for specific traditions, animated, with music, tested inside WhatsApp’s in-app browser on a mid-range Android because that is where your guests will actually open it.
What Wedence costs, precisely. The animated invite, the full wedding website, per-event RSVP, an unlimited guest list and the guestbook are free forever, with no watermark and no credit card, on two designs — Wedding Cinema and Bellagio. The other eight are an inexpensive one-time add-on per wedding, and frequently discounted — see the pricing page for today’s figure. Pro is ₹3,999 one-time and includes all ten designs, named RSVP data with filters and export, guest groups, and WhatsApp for up to 500 guests. Signature is ₹7,999 and adds per-group event invites, multi-host logins, QR arrival and room allocation. Everything is a one-time payment, because a wedding happens once, and international cards are accepted if the bill is being paid from abroad. Full pricing →
Where WedMake is genuinely the right answer
Its Kerala focus is real. If you want a page that reads like a Malayali wedding and nothing more than that, it is built for exactly that purpose, and it is free with no commission, which it states plainly.
The case that does not hold is the small-wedding one. “Eighty guests, everyone knows the plan, a call button is enough” sounds reasonable until eighty people call you. Wedence’s free tier costs the same as WedMake — nothing — and at that size it is not more work to set up but less: you import the list once, and the replies count themselves instead of arriving as eighty separate conversations.
Switching from WedMake
There is nothing to export — the page has no guest list behind it. Build your Wedence site, then import whatever list you have been keeping in a spreadsheet or on WhatsApp: Wedence takes Name, WhatsApp number, Side and Category and accepts a pasted block of spreadsheet cells as well as a CSV, which matters because most family guest lists live in a shared sheet.
Frequently asked questions
Is WedMake really free?
Yes. On 16 September 2026 it stated 100% free, no fee and no commission, and what you get is a live webpage with a unique link rather than a downloadable file.
Does WedMake track RSVPs?
Its RSVP is described as one click to WhatsApp, call or text message, which opens a conversation with you rather than recording a response. There is no stored per-function answer or running count, so the tallying is manual.
Is Wedence free as well?
The animated invite, the full wedding website, per-event RSVP, an unlimited guest list and the guestbook are free forever with no watermark, on two designs. The other eight are an inexpensive one-time add-on, often discounted. The free tier shows RSVP counts rather than named responses and does not send automated messages; Pro at ₹3,999 one-time adds both.
Which is better for a small wedding?
For eighty local guests and one function where everyone already knows the plan, either works and WedMake is simpler. Past roughly a hundred guests, or the moment there is more than one function, a tracked per-function RSVP saves more work than it costs to set up.
Can I move from WedMake to Wedence after sending my invitation?
Yes. Build the Wedence site, then send the new link to the same groups — guests who open the old page are simply looking at an older copy, so share the new one and stop sharing the old. Nothing has to be migrated, because there was no guest data stored on the old page.
