The easiest way to text your baptism guests.
Text family and friends the service time, the church address and the lunch plan, collect RSVPs from one link, and keep every question in one inbox.
10 free texts to try it · No app for guests · No credit card
One text for the service, the church and the lunch after.
Whether it's a baby, a teenager or an adult stepping into the water, a baptism pulls in family, church friends and people who rarely set foot in that building. The church sets the service time, you add the address, parking and the lunch plan, and every guest gets it on the phone they already use. RSVPs from your link tell you how many to feed.
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
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.
Planning a different kind of event?
Your baptism guests are one text away.
