    Mass Texting for Weddings: The 2026 Guide

    You have 120 guests and one update: the shuttle leaves 30 minutes earlier. Email won't hit in time. A group chat is chaos. Here's how modern couples actually mass-text a wedding. The tools, the pricing, and the rules that keep you out of trouble.

    What "mass texting" really means for a wedding

    Mass texting doesn't mean a 120-person group thread. On modern wedding SMS platforms, you write one message once and the service sends it as an individual SMS to every guest. Nobody sees anyone else's phone number. Replies come back to a shared inbox that only you see.

    That distinction matters: iMessage and green-bubble group chats are unusable at scale. Someone replies "sounds good," 120 phones buzz, and Aunt Linda mutes the thread and misses the ceremony change. Individual SMS avoids all of it.

    How much does it cost?

    Wedding SMS services fall into three pricing models:

    • Per-message caps (Text My Wedding): $57–$237, with hard caps of 500–5,000 messages.
    • Per-guest with an app (WedTexts): $75–$300 depending on guest count, plus an iOS/Android app.
    • Per-guest, unlimited, no app (txt.wedding): $1/guest. 150 guests = $150. Unlimited messages.

    For most weddings, the flat per-guest model wins: you don't want to be counting messages while your florist is calling about a swap. See our or the .

    Legal: guests have to opt in

    In the US, the TCPA requires consent before you send marketing-ish SMS. Wedding logistics texts are generally fine because guests expect them, but the safe move is to have every guest opt in. Two easy ways:

    • Put a QR code on your save-the-dates or wedding website. Guests scan and opt in themselves. No phone-number spreadsheet.
    • If you import a CSV of numbers, send a first message that says who you are and how to reply STOP.

    Every reputable wedding SMS service handles STOP replies automatically. Nobody stays on the list who doesn't want to be.

    Templates that actually get read

    Three rules for wedding SMS copy:

    1. Under 160 characters when you can. Longer texts get split and can arrive out of order.
    2. Lead with the new fact ("Ceremony moved to 5:30 PM"), then the reason if useful.
    3. Sign it with your names. Guests scan sender ID first, then the message.
