Zola is a registry. Sochely is an invite.
Use whatever registry you want. We just do the website, invites, and RSVPs — well.
Zola’s "free wedding website" is the front door to a store. We don’t sell anything.
Why couples leave Zola
Every section nudges you toward Zola’s store — registry, invitations, dresses. If you’re not buying from them, you’re holding it wrong.
How Sochely handles it
Build the page, send the invites, track RSVPs. Link out to any registry — Amazon, Target, Honeyfund, whatever. Your event, your choices.
