Zola vs The Knot vs Minted for a wedding website

Zola and The Knot offer more features than Minted, but couples often waste time building test sites on all three platforms just to compare them. The real deciding factor is usually hidden technical limitations, like whether the RSVP system is easy to use, supports international phone numbers, or allows the completed site to be bilingual.
