Plan the bachelor party without the groom seeing it.
Bachelor party planning usually happens in a group chat the groom is already in. Texting each guy separately keeps the surprises surprising. Send the dates and rough cost early, collect RSVPs before the house deposit, and text itinerary changes as they happen. Replies come back to you and your co-best man, not to the whole crew.
The groom stays out of it
Leave him off the guest list. Each guy gets his own text, so there's no thread for the groom to scroll.
Headcount before the deposit
RSVPs from your link add up to a number you can book a house, a tee time and a dinner table with.
Itinerary changes, sent fast
When the tee time moves or a flight is late, text everyone the new plan at once.

Bachelor party texting questions
How do I keep the groom out of bachelor party planning?
Don't add him to the guest list. Every guest gets a separate text and replies come only to you and your co-hosts, so there's no shared thread for the groom to find.
Can I collect money for the bachelor party through Text My Event?
No. Text My Event doesn't take payments. Text the cost and how to pay you, and schedule a reminder before the deposit is due. Guys can reply with questions about their share.
How do I get RSVPs before booking a rental house?
Send the invite with your RSVP link and a firm date before the deposit. Guests tap to answer, and you can also ask arrival day or room preference on the form.
Can I send itinerary changes during the trip?
Yes. Text everyone the new tee time, dinner reservation or pickup spot as plans change. You can also schedule texts like the morning lineup ahead of time.
Do my guests need to download an app?
No. Guests get a normal text message on the phone they already use and reply the same way. Nothing to install and no account to create.
Can guests see each other's replies?
No. Each guest gets their own text, not a group chat, so their number and replies stay private. Replies come back to your Text My Event inbox, where you and your co-hosts can answer.
Can a co-host help manage the event?
Yes. Invite co-hosts to your event and they share the same guest list, scheduled texts, and replies inbox.
How much does it cost?
Your first event includes 10 free texts to try it on your own phone. To text guests you pay once per event, with no subscription: Lite $19 for 50 texts, Starter $57 for 500 texts, Plus $87 for 1,200 texts, Premium $137 for 2,000 texts. If you need more texts later, moving to a bigger plan costs only the difference.
Which countries are supported?
Text My Event sends to US and Canadian (+1) mobile numbers, in English.
How long does my event stay active?
Your texts belong to that event and stay available until 60 days after it ends. Guest photos and videos stay up for the same window.
What happens if a guest replies STOP?
They're opted out right away and skipped on future sends, so you never have to track it. They can reply START to resume.
Planning a different kind of event?
