Riley & Grey review

Riley & Grey charges for what free platforms give away, and argues that the fee pays for no ads, no upsells and personal support. Couples can design the website, invitations and registry for free with no time limit, then pay to publish: $39 a month or $299 for a year, prices in USD. A $39 one-time Reserve plan holds a domain name and design and counts toward the membership. Every membership includes a custom domain that Riley & Grey will transfer to you when you leave. The RSVP tools are the main draw: forms can collect meal choices, travel details or song requests, and in Advanced Mode you control which events each guest is invited to, RSVPs for and sees on the site. Coordinating digital invitations can be sent to any number of guests, and high-resolution files can be exported for printing elsewhere. The registry accepts any gift, experience or cash goal. The cost is the drawback: a year runs $299 against $0 at Zola or Joy.
