These days, everyone is so spread out, and you likely have people traveling from all over the country (and possibly the world) to come to your wedding. So, naturally, there’s a lot of communication that needs to happen and it doesn’t all fit on a beautifully calligraphed invitation. Sure, you’ve got a wedding website, but let’s be real, a lot of guests won’t even read it. So, how do you make sure everyone knows where to be and when and any other important wedding-related info? Text My Guests is revolutionizing the way couples communicate with their family and friends about their big day, and weddings have never gone so smoothly! Used by hundreds of weddings each year across North America, their service allows you to preschedule an unlimited number of text messages to your guests. From shuttle schedules to COVID travel updates, you can make sure your guests are in the know in real-time.

In an ideal world, you’d send out your wedding invitations and guests would RSVP long before the requested date and that would be that. Guests would know when they need to book their room for the hotel block and know exactly where to park for the wedding. But, unfortunately, there are often a lot of details that guests overlook and end up floundering over at the last minute, or they end up blowing up your phone with questions. You’ve got enough on your plate, with a wedding to plan. With Text My Guests, you can set up pre-scheduled reminders for all of the important dates so that your guests don’t miss a beat and (more importantly) you don’t need to answer the same questions a million times over. You can also send real-time updates if plans change. Whether the reception moves because of rain or the shuttle is running late, you can keep your guests informed with one text–it’s that easy!
One of our favorite features of Text My Guests is the ability to sort your guests into groups. Let your “Bridesmaids” group know when they need to arrive at the getting-ready suite for hair and makeup and let your “Vendors” group know which entrance they should use at the venue for setting up.
It takes weeks (sometimes months) to get your wedding photos back from your photographer. Thankfully, you’ve got a ton of guests that will be snapping their own photos. But unless you plan on reaching out to each of your guests individually or stalking your wedding hashtag on social media, you may never see some of these gems. With Text My Guests, your guests can share their photos to your dedicated number in one place so you can have some Insta-gratification.
With Text My Guests, there’s no app required, so everyone can use it! Yes, even grandma’s flip phone won’t have a problem. And, unlike snail mail or e-mails that can go unread, 97% of text messages are opened and read within 15 minutes of delivery. So you can rest assured knowing your guests are actually seeing all of the important info you send their way.
