Baptism save the dates that don't get lost.
A paper save the date ends up on the fridge and forgotten; an email lands in the promotions folder. A texted baptism save the date sits in the thread guests already check, easy to find when they make plans. Announce your date to everyone at once, then follow up with the full invitation when you're ready — all from one place.
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 texting questions
When should I send a baptism save the date?
4–6 weeks before: Share the date once the church confirms which Sunday and service, so family can plan travel.
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.
