What to put in a confirmation invitation text

Guests decide from one text. Cover these and the questions stop before they start.

  1. Your teen's name and confirmation name

    Many families share the chosen saint's name in the invite. It's a nice detail for grandparents.

  2. Church, date and start time

    Give the parish address and when the Mass starts. Weeknight services are common when the bishop visits.

  3. How long it runs

    Say the service may run 90 minutes or more, so guests plan babysitters and parking meters.

  4. Celebration after

    Restaurant, house or parish hall, with a time that leaves room for photos with the bishop.

  5. The sponsor's details, sent apart

    Rehearsal date, call time and the sponsor form go in a separate text to the sponsor.

  6. RSVP link

    Ask friends and family to answer on your link so the restaurant gets a firm count.

Confirmation texting questions

What should a confirmation invitation text include?

Cover your teen's name and confirmation name; church, date and start time; how long it runs; celebration after; the sponsor's details, sent apart; 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.

Can my teen's friends get the invite too?

Yes. Add their numbers like anyone else's. Each friend gets their own text and answers on your RSVP link, with no app and no group chat.

How do I send the sponsor separate details?

Put the sponsor in their own group and text them the rehearsal, the call time and what to bring, so the rest of the guest list doesn't see it.

What if the service runs long?

Confirmation Masses with a bishop often run long. Text everyone a quick update with the new dinner time, and replies come back to your inbox.

Can I send a livestream link to family who can't come?

Yes. Put the parish livestream link in a text, or add it as a button on your RSVP page so it's there when they need 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.
