What to put in a first communion invitation text
Guests decide from one text. Cover these and the questions stop before they start.
Your child's name and the Mass
Lead with the name, then the church and the exact Mass time the parish set for the class.
Who sits with you
If the parish limits seats per family, tell those guests they're in your pew and when to arrive.
Party after
Address and start time, leaving time for class photos at the church before you head home.
Dress
Guests wear Sunday best. Note if the parish asks for no flash during Mass.
Kids and cousins
Say whether children are welcome at the party, and mention a bounce house or a kids' table.
RSVP link
Ask for a count with your link so you know how much food, cake and seating to set up.

First communion texting questions
What should a first communion invitation text include?
Cover your child's name and the Mass; who sits with you; party after; dress; kids and cousins; 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.
How do I handle limited seating at the Mass?
Many parishes reserve a few seats per child. Group the guests who'll sit with you and text them the arrival time and pew, and invite everyone else to the party after.
Can I send the Mass time and party address in one invite?
Yes. Put the church, the Mass time and the party address in one text with your RSVP link, or send party-only guests a version with just the party.
Do grandparents need an app to RSVP?
No. They get a normal text and tap your RSVP link to say how many are coming. Anything they text back lands in your inbox.
Can I remind family to arrive early?
Yes. Schedule a reminder for the night before or the morning of with the arrival time, the pew and where to park.
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.
