Event text reminders
Event text reminders, scheduled before you need them.
Write your reminders when you have a quiet hour, pick the date and time, and let them wait in the queue. Each one goes out as a private text to all guests, a group, or the people you choose, and you can change or cancel it right up until it sends.

Remembering to remind people shouldn't be your job.
The week before an event is the busiest. Scheduled reminders take one item off it: write them early, check the times, and they go out on their own while you deal with everything else.
Your reminders, lined up
Each reminder is a scheduled message with its own recipients. Here's a banquet with four of them.

Following up with guests who haven’t RSVP’d
Scheduled reminders don’t sort guests by RSVP status on their own. For a nudge to non-responders, open your RSVP responses, filter to No reply, select them, and text them right then. If you’d rather schedule it, keep a group of guests who haven’t answered and send the reminder to that group.
Set up a reminder schedule
Write the reminder
Use tokens like {First name}, {Event date}, and {Venue} so each guest's text reads like it was written for them.
Pick the moment
The composer opens on Schedule, set to 9 AM on event day in the event's time zone. Change the date and time to whatever fits.
Choose who gets it
All guests, one or more groups, specific people, or a mix. The count updates as you choose.
Repeat for each touchpoint
A week out, the day before, the morning of. Each scheduled message stays editable until it sends.
How scheduled reminders behave
Sends in the event's time zone
Times are set in the event's time zone, so a 9 AM reminder means 9 AM where the event is.
Recipients counted at send time
A reminder to all guests, or to a group, includes anyone added to it before it goes out.
Group targeting
Send the parking note only to drivers or the early call time only to volunteers. Groups are lists you manage, with no limit on how many.
Opt-outs skipped
Guests who replied STOP are left off automatically, even on reminders you scheduled weeks ago.
Edit or cancel
Change the wording, time, or recipients of any queued reminder, or cancel it so it never sends.
Replies come back
If a reminder prompts a question, the reply lands in your inbox for you or a co-host to answer.
Reminder texts by timing
Three common touchpoints. Copy one or start your event with it in the composer.
One week out
109 charsHi {First name}! One week until we see you on {Event date} at {Venue}. Reply here if your plans have changed.
Night before
104 charsSee you tomorrow, {First name}! Quick tip: parking fills up early, so give yourself a few extra minutes.
Morning of
89 charsToday's the day, {First name}! We're at {Venue}. Text this number if you need directions.
Words in braces, like {First name}, fill in for each guest. One message to one guest is one text, however long it is.
Pay once per event. No subscription.
The 10 free texts on your first event go to your own verified number (and your co-hosts'), so you can see exactly what guests will get. Upgrading the event lets you text your guest list. No credit card to start.

Reminder questions
Can reminders go only to guests who haven't RSVP'd?
Not automatically. Scheduled messages go to all guests, groups, or specific people. To reach only non-responders, filter your RSVP responses to No reply, select them, and text them right away. Or keep a "No reply" group up to date and schedule a reminder to it, removing people as they answer.
How far ahead can I schedule a reminder?
Pick any future date and time. The composer won't let you schedule in the past, and each message stays queued until its time.
What happens if I change the event after scheduling?
Open the scheduled message and edit its wording, time, or recipients, or cancel it. Nothing is sent until the scheduled time.
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.
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.
How are texts counted?
One message to one guest is one text, however long it is. A message to 50 guests uses 50 texts, with or without emoji or links. Texts that fail to deliver don't count.
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 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.
