Cancel Evite: The Right Way

How to cancel Evite and stop auto-renew charges in the philippines

What Evite is and why filipinos cancel

Evite is an online invitation platform that lets you create and send event invitations for parties, birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and other celebrations. If you signed up for Evite in the Philippines, you likely chose either a one-time premium event package or the annual Evite Pro subscription. Understanding exactly what you paid for is the critical first step toward cancelling successfully.

The service model and what you are paying for

Evite offers both free and paid options. The free tier gives you basic invitation tools, but paid packages unlock premium templates, guest tracking, photo albums, and ad-free invitations. You have two distinct payment types:

• One-time event packages: Silver (₱1,016), Gold (₱2,090), Platinum (₱3,898), and Diamond (₱5,649) charged once per event with no renewal.
• Evite Pro: Annual subscription at ₱14,124 per year, auto-renewing every 12 months unless you actively turn off auto-renew before your renewal date.

The confusion happens here: many users believe all Evite payments work like one-time purchases. In reality, Evite Pro renews automatically every year until you actively cancel it. That annual ₱14,124 charge appears on your card without warning if you miss the cancellation window, which is why dozens of Philippine users contact Tocancel each month frustrated by surprise renewals. Understanding this distinction protects your wallet.

Why filipinos cancel Evite

You might cancel Evite for several reasons. Perhaps you finished planning your event and no longer need premium features. Maybe you discovered the subscription auto-renews and you do not want next year's charge hitting your account. Or you simply prefer planning events with free tools or competing platforms. Whatever your reason, Tocancel exists to make sure you cancel cleanly without paying extra or losing access to event data you need.

Pricing breakdown and what you may be charged

Before you cancel, know exactly what Evite charges in the Philippines and when those charges occur.

Keep in mind: Evite bills in US dollars, so your actual card charge depends on the exchange rate at the time of billing plus any foreign transaction fees your bank or card issuer applies. GCash and Maya card users should factor in conversion fees and ensure their provider supports international payments. This means your final amount may differ from the PHP prices listed above.

Should you cancel Evite right now

Before you cancel, pause and assess whether cancellation is actually the right move for your situation.

Good reasons to cancel immediately

Cancel Evite now if you are on the annual Evite Pro plan and you no longer need it. A ₱14,124 annual charge is substantial, and once that auto-renew hits without your permission, most credit card companies and banks in the Philippines take 30 to 60 days to process refund claims. Cancel at least two weeks before your annual renewal date to avoid that hassle entirely. This safety margin gives you time to receive confirmation from Evite support.

Also cancel if you signed up for a free trial and it is about to convert to a paid plan. Evite does not always make trial expiration dates obvious, so check your email for any billing notifications. If you see a trial expiration date coming within 7 days, cancel immediately to prevent an unwanted charge.

Reasons you might want to wait before cancelling

Do not cancel if you have an upcoming event within the next 30 days and you are actively using premium features like guest tracking or photo albums. Cancellation may lock you out of those features mid-event, which could disrupt your planning. Complete your event first, then cancel.

Also, if you are considering a refund for a one-time event package you purchased, check the purchase date. Evite typically offers 30-day refunds on one-time purchases if you contact support within that window. If you are within that window, request a refund before you cancel your account, because cancelling your account may prevent you from claiming a refund later.

How to cancel Evite: step-by-step instructions

Cancelling Evite requires you to email their support team directly because there is no automated cancellation option in the app or website settings. Follow these steps to ensure your cancellation goes through cleanly.

1. Locate your Evite account email address and password
   • Open your email inbox and search for messages from "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" to confirm the email address attached to your Evite account.
   • If you cannot find a confirmation email, log into Evite.com and check the account settings page for the registered email.
2. Gather your account details before writing to support
   • Write down your Evite account email address.
   • Find your billing statement or credit card statement showing the ₱14,124 charge (or one-time purchase amount) to reference your subscription type.
   • Note the approximate date your Evite Pro subscription renews (usually 12 months from your purchase or signup date).
3. Draft a clear cancellation email to [email protected]
   • Use a subject line: "Cancel Evite Pro subscription for [[email protected]]".
   • In the body, write: "I request immediate cancellation of my Evite Pro annual subscription effective today. My account email is [your-email]. Please confirm cancellation and turn off auto-renew. I do not wish to receive renewal charges."
   • Keep the email brief, professional, and direct. Do not explain your reasons unless you believe you qualify for a refund.
4. Send the email from your registered Evite account email address
   • Use the same email address you used to create your Evite account. This helps support match your request to your subscription immediately.
   • Send to: [email protected].
   • Do not send from a different email address, as this may delay processing.
5. Wait for a confirmation email from Evite support
   • Evite typically responds within 1 to 3 business days (excluding weekends and Philippine holidays).
   • Support will send you a cancellation confirmation email stating your subscription has been cancelled and auto-renew is disabled.
   • Save this confirmation email in a separate folder for your records.
6. Verify cancellation by checking your account settings
   • Log into Evite.com 48 hours after receiving confirmation.
   • Visit your account or subscription settings and confirm that auto-renew is toggled off and no renewal date is displayed.
   • This verification step protects you from accidental charges after cancellation.

Sending a direct email to [email protected] is the only reliable method to cancel your Evite Pro subscription because the platform does not offer in-app or web-based cancellation. This ensures you have written proof of your cancellation request.

What happens after you cancel Evite

Understanding what to expect after cancellation helps you plan your next steps and avoid surprises.

Immediate effects of cancellation

Once Evite support confirms your cancellation, your premium features disable immediately. You lose access to premium templates, guest tracking, photo albums, and ad-free invitations. However, you retain access to your past event data and invitations for viewing purposes only. You cannot edit or resend cancelled events after the cancellation date takes effect.

Your credit card and future charges

After cancellation, Evite stops all future billing to your credit card or payment method. No renewal charge will occur on your annual renewal date. However, you should verify this by checking your next billing statement 4 to 6 weeks after your renewal date. If a surprise charge appears on your card despite cancellation, contact your bank immediately and dispute the charge as unauthorised.

How to request a refund from Evite

Evite refund eligibility depends on your purchase type and how recently you bought.

Refund policy for one-time event packages

If you purchased a one-time Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond package within the past 30 days and you no longer need it, contact [email protected] with a refund request. Include your purchase date and reason for the refund. Evite does not guarantee refunds but often approves requests within the 30-day window, especially if you have not used the premium features extensively. This means you have a legitimate chance at getting your money back if you act quickly.

Refund policy for Evite pro annual subscription

Evite Pro refunds are more restrictive. If you purchased an annual Evite Pro subscription within the past 14 days and you have barely used it, contact [email protected] and request a refund based on the short usage period. Be honest about how many events you created or guests you invited. Support evaluates each request individually, so your chances improve if you demonstrate minimal usage.

If your Evite Pro subscription has been active for more than 14 days, Evite typically denies refund requests. In this case, cancelling prevents future charges, but you will not recover the ₱14,124 you already paid. This is why cancelling as soon as you realise you do not need the subscription is critical.

How to escalate a denied refund

If Evite support denies your refund request, do not accept defeat. Check your credit card statement for the exact merchant name and date, then contact your bank or card issuer and file a dispute. Explain that you requested a refund from Evite, they denied it, and you now dispute the charge as unauthorised or undelivered. Most Philippine banks and GCash support dispute filing within 60 to 120 days of the charge. Your bank may reverse the charge and open an investigation with Evite.

Your consumer rights in the philippines

As a consumer in the Philippines, you are protected by the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), which gives you specific rights when dealing with services like Evite.

Your legal position

The Consumer Act of the Philippines mandates that companies must disclose their cancellation, refund, and auto-renewal terms clearly and upfront. Evite must tell you in plain language that Evite Pro auto-renews annually and how to cancel. If Evite failed to disclose auto-renewal terms clearly when you signed up, you may have grounds to request a refund even outside the standard refund window. Your right to clear information is non-negotiable.

Additionally, the Consumer Act requires that auto-renewal subscriptions must have an easy cancellation method. If Evite makes cancellation unreasonably difficult (for example, by forcing you to call an international number or pay a fee), you can escalate a complaint to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The DTI has authority to enforce consumer protection laws and sanction companies that violate them.

When to contact the DTI

Contact the DTI if Evite refuses to process your cancellation request after you have sent a clear email to [email protected] and waited 5 business days without response. File a complaint through the DTI Consumer Assistance and Settlement Division (CASD) at www.dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI regional office. Provide your cancellation email, Evite's lack of response, and any credit card statements showing unwanted charges. The DTI will investigate and pressure Evite to comply with Philippine consumer law.

You do not need a lawyer to file a DTI complaint, and there is no cost. This leverage often persuades companies to process cancellations they previously ignored. Tocancel recommends treating a DTI complaint as your escalation option if Evite support becomes unresponsive.

Common mistakes when cancelling Evite

Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can derail your effort or leave you unprotected. Many users rush the process and later regret it.

Mistake 1: cancelling your account without disabling auto-renew first

Do not delete your Evite account before explicitly requesting that auto-renew be turned off. Some users assume account deletion stops billing, but Evite may continue to charge auto-renewing subscriptions even after account deletion. Always send a separate email requesting cancellation of the subscription, then wait for confirmation, before you consider deleting your account.

Mistake 2: not requesting cancellation in writing

Calling Evite or using chat support may feel faster, but written email requests create a paper trail. If a charge appears months later and Evite claims you never cancelled, your email proves you did. Chat logs and call records disappear or become unavailable. Always email [email protected] so you have proof.

Mistake 3: sending cancellation requests from a different email address

If your Evite account email is [email protected], send the cancellation request from [email protected], not from your work email or a family member's account. Sending from a different address delays processing because support cannot immediately match the request to your account. This creates confusion and wastes days.

Mistake 4: cancelling too close to your renewal date

If your Evite Pro subscription renews on January 15 and you send a cancellation email on January 14, you risk the renewal charge processing before support processes your cancellation. Always cancel at least two weeks in advance. This buffer gives Evite time to process your request and disable auto-renew before the renewal date arrives.

Mistake 5: ignoring the cancellation confirmation email

Once you receive Evite's confirmation email, do not delete it immediately. Save it to a folder and check your account settings 48 hours later to verify that auto-renew is actually disabled. Some confirmations are misleading or partial. Verification prevents surprise charges from appearing months later.

After cancellation: long-term protection steps

Cancelling is just the first step. Protecting yourself from future unwanted charges requires a few follow-up actions.

Monitor your credit card statement for 90 days

Even though Evite confirmed your cancellation, monitor your credit card or GCash statement for the next three months. If a renewal charge appears despite cancellation, report it to your bank or GCash immediately as an unauthorised charge. The sooner you dispute it, the faster your bank can investigate and reverse it. Most banks require disputes to be filed within 120 days of the charge.

Set a phone reminder for your renewal date

Open your phone calendar and set a reminder for one day after your original Evite Pro renewal date. On that day, log into Evite and verify one final time that no new charges are pending and auto-renew remains disabled. This final check gives you 24-hour notice if something went wrong, allowing you to contact support before any charge processes.

Keep your cancellation records indefinitely

Save Evite's cancellation confirmation email forever. Do not delete it from your inbox or trash folder. If a dispute arises a year later and Evite claims you never cancelled, that email is your proof. Similarly, keep any credit card statements showing your cancellation period for at least one year.

Comparison of event invitation platforms

If you are cancelling Evite because you prefer another platform, here is how similar services compare on pricing and cancellation transparency.

If you prefer a platform without auto-renew, Greenvelope and Punchbowl charge per invitation rather than subscription, eliminating surprise renewals. If you want a subscription-based platform with easy cancellation, Paperless Post allows in-app cancellation, which is more transparent than Evite's email-only approach. Tocancel recommends checking each platform's cancellation policy before you commit to avoid repeating the same frustration.

Evite contact information and mailing address

If email support does not resolve your cancellation within 5 business days, you may escalate through postal mail or file a complaint with the DTI.

Email support

Send all cancellation and refund requests to: [email protected]. Allow 1 to 3 business days for a response. If you do not receive a response within 5 business days, send a follow-up email with the phrase "Follow-up: Cancellation Request" in the subject line.

Mailing address for formal complaints

If email support becomes unresponsive, you may send a formal written complaint to Evite's head office. While Evite does not have a specific cancellation address in the Philippines, you can send complaints to their Los Angeles corporate headquarters:

Evite Inc., 333 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1600, Los Angeles, CA 90010, United States.

Send via registered mail with proof of delivery so you have evidence that Evite received your complaint. Include your Evite account email, the date you requested cancellation, copies of your cancellation email to support, and a statement of what resolution you seek (cancellation and refund, or cancellation and reversal of charges).

DTI consumer complaint

If postal mail also fails, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Visit www.dti.gov.ph or contact the DTI Consumer Assistance and Settlement Division (CASD) at (02) 8751-0039 in Metro Manila. Provide your email correspondence, credit card statements, and a summary of your attempts to cancel. The DTI will investigate at no cost to you and may compel Evite to process your cancellation and issue a refund.

Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and recover unauthorised charges by providing clear, step-by-step guidance and reminding them of their legal rights.
