Even after working with someone and providing feedback, the revisions do not include the foil border as described on the website. And, they modified something that wasn’t even requested. It’s also too difficult to get timely responses.

Hello,
I'm sorry the revisions did not reflect what you expected. I can understand how frustrating it would be to provide detailed feedback, only to receive changes that were not requested while still missing elements that were important to you.

Horrible!!! DO NOT give them your business!!!! Stole our $$$$!!!
Horrible! The Knot is sketchy! They released our cash funds registry (nearly $1K) to an unknown bank account. 6 years ago I created an account with fiance and then a few months later took down the account due to breakup. I deleted all information. Fast forward to last year- new fiance (good man) so I went ahead and created a new profile for the new engagement and planning. We decided to do a cash fund registry for honeymoon. Close to the wedding I added my bank information and started receiving deposits. And then the deposits stopped. Life got very busy and we kind of forgot about it since the honeymoon didn’t need to be funded yet. Then we started sending emails to find out where our money was. They told us we needed to add a checking account. Weird. We had gotten deposits to our savings. But we did what they said. Waited months. Sent messages and received no information. Finally had time to call and after many attempts got ahold of a human. They told us they deposited the money into an account (I have no idea whose account it is),. It does not match ANY of our information. Apparently it was attached to my email address prior to this engagement. I never input any other bank info. They’ve basically said there is nothing they can do and are refusing to resolve our issue. I don’t know if we will ever see our money. Super sad because I’m not a high roller. And we truly looked forward to our honeymoon and now we will have to save for awhile.
DO NOT register with them!!! I will never trust this company or recommend them again.

Hello,
I'm sorry for the concern and frustration this situation has caused. I understand how upsetting it must be to have questions about your cash fund proceeds, particularly after updating your account information and spending considerable time seeking a resolution.
Our team has provided information to assist with further investigation through the appropriate financial channels, and your feedback regarding cash fund transfers, account management, and the support experience has been shared for review.

After placing my order, I then decided to check Amazon. The Knot price was $159.99 whereas Amazon's price was $99.99 for the SAME ITEM! I had placed my order on Sun., and called several numbers, attempting to cancel my order. I was not successful. The following day was Memorial Day, and The Knot didn't answer the phone then either. By Tues. they told me it was "too late", my order had already shipped. Charging/paying nearly 50% more is simply ridiculous. I will not order through The Knot ever again.

Hello,
I'm sorry this experience left you disappointed. I understand how frustrating it is to find a lower price elsewhere and then be unable to make changes once an order has entered processing and shipment.

This platform was really inconvenient
This platform was really inconvenient. The registry function was difficult and restrictive. The website was really hard to edit because the web page would be broken into several different tabs. Definitely did more to add stress than help in any way.
Reply from The Knot2026-06-04
Hello,
I'm sorry the platform added frustration to your planning experience rather than making things easier. Difficulties with both the registry and website editing tools can quickly become stressful when you're trying to manage so many wedding details.

We lost all the answers to our follow up questions to our rsvp for our wedding. All our guests answered and we were able to see the answers and one day they all disappeared and we only see the answers from the last person to rsvp.
Reply from The Knot2026-06-04
Hello,
I'm sorry this happened. I can only imagine how concerning it was to see responses that had already been submitted suddenly disappear, especially when they contained important information for your wedding planning.

It was a great place to start and get ideas. For local suppliers I had to look beyond the vendors provided.

The Knot was the paper purveyor for my daughter’s wedding. She took care of all of it. And until the final order all was satisfactory. The last piece of her order got messed up. The table numbers- assignments etc was initially delivered to a DC warehouse and she received a text saying same. Then she received a text saying it was en route to Denver CO. Not good. She needed to drop all items for the venue to the planner the week before the event. Which happened to be Friday of Memorial Day. She called me that Saturday explaining the snafu and I said surely you can call Tuesday and the Knot will haste post haste rerun it and overnight it. Latest you’ll receive it is Wednesday noon. Well she did call you and email as well and was basically told NO CAN DO. Then I got involved. Took two hours off work and went to Staples to get the order completed. I reached out to you to ask for reimbursement of what I spent at Staples. And was told essentially NOPE. Over a lousy $75 the Knot will never get my endorsement or recommendation. It’s the principle of the thing. I’m a nurse with a lot of friends. Trust me they will hear about your lack of understanding and indifferent customer service.

Hello,
I'm sorry this experience added stress so close to your daughter's wedding. I can appreciate how frustrating it was when an important item did not arrive as expected, and alternative arrangements had to be made at the last minute.
While the shipment issue was ultimately outside of our control and the original order was refunded, I understand your disappointment with the overall experience and the outcome. Your feedback has been shared with the team for review.

Amazing is the only word I can think of. I love how organized it makes me! They were also really helpful when I messed up my Save the dates. Specifically Shanna H. she made the customization of my order so easy and when the envelopes were the wrong size she reached out and helped me completely!

Hello,
Thank you for such a lovely review. I'm delighted to hear the tools helped make planning feel more manageable and that Shanna was able to step in and make the customisation process so easy for you.
I'll be sure your kind words are shared with her as well.
Sarah @ The Knot Customer Support
Over promised. Under performed. Told us our invites would be sent by a certain date and clarified that they are with the “designer.”

Hi, I'm sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. I understand how disappointing it is when the timing communicated doesn't align with the final outcome, particularly when you're relying on updates during an important stage of the process.
