What to put in a baptism invitation text
Guests decide from one text. Cover these and the questions stop before they start.
Who is being baptized
Lead with the name. For an adult or teen baptism, it can come from them in their own words.
Church, address and service time
Name the church and campus, and give the service time the church set, not when the baptism itself happens.
Lunch or reception after
Give the place and start time, and whether it's a sit-down meal at home or a restaurant table.
Parking and where to sit
Say which lot to use and where family sits, often near the front by the baptistry or font.
Photos and video
Mention whether the church allows photos, or link a livestream for relatives watching from home.
RSVP link
Ask lunch guests to answer on your RSVP link so the restaurant or your kitchen gets a firm count.

Baptism texting questions
What should a baptism invitation text include?
Cover who is being baptized; church, address and service time; lunch or reception after; parking and where to sit; photos and video; and RSVP link. Put the RSVP link in the same text so replies add up in your headcount, and keep the long details, like the full schedule or registry, behind the link.
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.
