Bat mitzvah invitations that actually get opened.
A texted bat mitzvah invitation lands in the same place guests read messages from friends, instead of a mailbox or a promotions folder. Start from an invitation template below, personalize the details, and send to your whole guest list at once, with RSVPs from your link collected in one place.
Two lists, the right details
Send family the service and kiddush, and send kids' parents the party, bus times and pickup.
Candle-lighting honorees, asked early
Text the relatives you're calling up for a candle so they're ready with a few words and in the room.
Mitzvah project in the invite
Add a link button for Talia's shelter drive, so guests can bring supplies instead of a gift.

What to put in a bat mitzvah invitation text
Guests decide from one text. Cover these and the questions stop before they start.
Service, kiddush and party times
Morning service at 10, kiddush lunch after, party at 6:30. Guests who only come to one need to see which is theirs.
The party bus, if there is one
Departure spot, departure time and return time. Parents plan their whole evening around pickup.
A child's name and allergies
Ask kids' parents for each child's name, allergies and a contact number on the RSVP form.
Mitzvah project or no-gifts note
A shelter wish list or charity link tells guests what Talia would love instead of another present.
The theme and what to wear
Travel theme, dressy for the service, comfortable shoes for dancing. Say it up front.
RSVP by date for the caterer
The kiddush caterer and the party venue each need a count. Give one date for both.

Split family from Talia's friends' parents
Paste numbers into two groups: relatives and adult friends for the service, and parents of classmates for the party and bus.
Send each group its own invite
Write each invite or start from a template, add a which-events question and a party-bus question to the RSVP form, and schedule bus reminders for party day.
Count bus riders and dinner guests
Answers from your link give you separate counts for the service, the party and the bus, and parents' questions land in one shared inbox.
Bat mitzvah texting questions
What should a bat mitzvah invitation text include?
Cover service, kiddush and party times; the party bus, if there is one; A child's name and allergies; mitzvah project or no-gifts note; the theme and what to wear; and RSVP by date for the caterer. 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.
How do I invite the kids without texting 12-year-olds directly?
Text the parents. Put the party, bus times and pickup in their invite, and ask for each child's name, allergies and a contact cell on the RSVP form.
Can I ask some guests to light a candle?
Yes. Send a personal text to each candle-lighting honoree with their candle number and the rough time. Their replies come back privately to your inbox, so you can confirm one by one.
Our community holds bat mitzvahs at 12 or on a different day. Does that change anything?
No. Whether it's a Saturday morning service at 13, a Havdalah service, or a Sunday celebration at 12, you set the date, times and wording, and schedule the texts around it.
Can I share Talia's mitzvah project with guests?
Yes. Paste the donation or wish-list link into your invite, or add it as a link button on your RSVP page so guests can tap straight to it.
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.
