Texting Best Practices
Tips to get the best response rates from your messages.
Send RSVPs Early
Send your initial RSVP request 4-6 weeks before the event, then follow up 2 weeks out. This gives guests time to plan while keeping your headcount accurate.
Keep Day-Of Texts Short
On event day, guests need quick, scannable info — time, address, parking. Save the long messages for before and after the event.
Use Individual Texts, Not Group Chats
Mass group texts can feel impersonal and create chaotic reply-all threads. Send individual messages so each guest feels personally invited.
Coordinate Vendors via Text
Vendors juggle multiple events. A concise text with load-in time, location, and your contact info is faster and more reliable than email on event day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to collect RSVPs via text message?
Absolutely. Text RSVPs have much higher response rates than email or mailed cards. Keep it simple — ask guests to reply YES or NO, and follow up with anyone who hasn't responded a week before the deadline.
How many reminder texts should I send before an event?
Two is the sweet spot: one 1-2 weeks before the event with key details, and one the morning of with time, address, and parking. For multi-day events like weddings, a third text the day before is helpful.
Should I text wedding guests or use a wedding website?
Both. Use your wedding website for detailed info (registry, accommodations, FAQs) and text for time-sensitive updates like RSVP reminders, schedule changes, and day-of logistics.
How do I handle last-minute event changes via text?
Send a clear, urgent text with only the changed details (new time, new venue, etc.). Start with "IMPORTANT UPDATE" so it stands out. Follow up with anyone who hasn't read the message.
Can I text vendors on the day of the event?
Yes, and most vendors prefer it. Text is faster than email and less disruptive than a phone call when everyone is busy setting up. Confirm arrival times the morning of and keep your phone accessible.
