Baptism group texting, without the chaos.
A real group chat for a baptism spirals fast: forty replies, muted threads, and nobody actually answering the question. Send one message to everyone, collect replies privately in a shared inbox, and keep your whole guest list informed — all the reach of a group text with none of the noise.
Service time and address together
Put the church, the service time and where to park in one text, so nobody walks into the wrong campus.
A real count for the lunch after
RSVPs from your link add up in one headcount, so you know how many plates to set.
Questions land in one inbox
'Can I film it?' and 'Do I bring a gift?' come back privately to you and your co-host.
Baptism group text templates
Copy, tweak the details, and send to your whole guest list in one tap.
We saved two rows on the left side, near the baptistry. Look for Grandma June's red coat and come sit with us.
Service started a few minutes late, so you haven't missed it. Baptisms are after the second song. Slip in the side door.
That was beautiful! Lunch is at 22 Birch Ave, 10 minutes away. Turn left out of the lot, right on Birch. Door's open.
Baptisms are done! Picnic is at the pavilion by the boat ramp. Bring a chair if you have one, we have plenty of food.
Thank you for being there for Marcus today. It meant so much to him. Photos from the service: textmyevent.com/s/marcus-pics

Baptism texting questions
What should I text baptism guests as a group?
After the service: Directions to lunch and a thank-you, with photos and the livestream recording if there is one. Replies come back to you privately, not to the whole group.
What should a baptism invitation text include?
The name of the person being baptized, the church and its address, the service time the church set, and where the lunch or reception is after. Add parking notes and your RSVP link.
Can I invite some guests to the lunch only?
Yes. Put lunch-only guests in their own group and send them a text with just the lunch time and address, while everyone else gets the service details too.
How do guests RSVP for the lunch?
They tap your RSVP link and answer on a short form, which can ask how many are coming and about allergies. Anything they text back instead lands in your inbox.
Can I send a reminder the morning of the service?
Yes. Schedule it ahead with the service time, where to sit and where to park, and it goes out on its own that morning.
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.
