eGift Card FAQs
Giving a gift is a wonderful way to celebrate someone, whether it’s for a major occasion like their birthday, a gift-giving time like the holidays or just because you want to make their day a little brighter! eGift Cards are a wonderful way to easily send someone a thoughtful gift in only a few steps, right from your phone or computer, especially when you send one via Evite!
Evite offers dozens of eGift Cards to top retailers like Target, Sephora, Starbucks, and Amazon. And we make them more convenient and WAY more fun to send and receive. You can even include a digital Greeting Card with your eGift Card purchase (BTW—the Greeting Card is free when you purchase it with an eGift Card from us), and your recipient can redeem it easily through Evite.
There are 2 ways to shop for eGift Cards on Evite:
- Select a Greeting Card that works for you like a Birthday Card, Teacher Appreciation Card, Christmas Card, Holiday Card or Thank You Card. Then, find a design that suits your recipient’s personality and style, and customize it with a personal message. While you’re customizing your Greeting Card, you will be prompted to add an optional eGift Card, choosing from one of our many retailers. Select the one that works best for your recipient and continue the checkout process as usual.
- Browse retailers and occasion-based Greeting Cards directly from Evite's eGift Cards Shop. Select a retailer to begin customizing the Greeting Card that will be sent along with your gift card–you can also browse different card templates or swap out for a new design while customizing.
Find an eGift Card that matches your recipient’s interests. Do they love fashion? Trying new restaurants? Decorating their home? There are eGift Cards available for every interest and person imaginable! All you need to do is think about your recipient and what they’re into and give them something that lines up with it.
You can opt to send your eGift Card instantly or schedule it to be delivered at a later date. Either way, your recipient doesn’t ever need to know when you actually chose their gift. Last minute gifters, rejoice!
Fun fact: You can send eGift Cards from Evite via email or text! While sending eGift Cards by email is still wildly popular, sending one via text is a great way to ensure it doesn’t end up buried in your recipient’s inbox.
Write a personal message that will melt their heart! Of course, your recipient will love your gift. But writing a thoughtful message adds the personal touch every gift needs. Consider mentioning why you chose the eGift Card you chose, how much they mean to you, how you hope they’ll enjoy the gift and that you’ll see them soon. If it’s a thank you gift, include specifics around what you’re thanking them for.

eGift Cards work just like physical gift cards, only they’re digital—so recipients don’t have to worry about losing them or forgetting them when they’re ready to shop. You can purchase eGift Cards from Evite to use at dozens of retailers and restaurants. Once your recipient redeems their eGift Card via Evite, they can use it online or in person at the retailer or restaurant the eGift Card is for. All they need to access it is their phone or the internet, and they’re ready to enjoy your gift to them.
Pro tip for eGift Card recipients: screenshot your redemption page with your eGift Card’s barcode and information if you’re planning to use it in person. That way, you’ll have it handy when it comes to showing it to the cashier.
Evite will email or text recipients with the exciting news that they’ve received an eGift Card (along with the name of the person sending the gift), and provide detailed instructions on how to redeem their gift on Evite.com. A few important things to note:
- Recipients do not need an Evite account to redeem their eGift Card from Evite.
- Evite uses mobile verification, so recipients must have a valid U.S. or Canada mobile phone number.
- eGift Cards cannot be redeemed on the Evite app.
If your recipient needs assistance with their eGift Card, our Customer Service team will be happy to help!
Long story short, eGift Cards are an awesome gifting option, and we’re so excited to make giving and receiving them even more exciting and fun! Want to take the celebrating to another level? Plan a party using one of Evite’s Birthday or Holiday Invitations!
