What to put in a kids birthday party invitation text
Guests decide from one text. Cover these and the questions stop before they start.
Who's turning what
Your child's name and age, and your own name, since many parents only know you as Ava's mom.
Start and end time
Both times matter to parents planning drop-off and pickup, so put 2–4pm, not just 2pm.
Drop-off or stay
Say whether parents should stay, or ask on the RSVP form so you can plan for adults too.
Siblings
Say whether younger brothers and sisters are welcome, especially at venues that charge per child.
What to wear or bring
Grip socks, a swimsuit, a costume, or a signed waiver. Anything a parent needs to sort out ahead.
An RSVP date
Venues often need a final count a week ahead, so give a firm date and ask for allergies at the same time.

Kids birthday party texting questions
What should a kids birthday party invitation text include?
Cover who's turning what; start and end time; drop-off or stay; siblings; what to wear or bring; and an RSVP date. 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 classmates when I don't know the parents?
Ask the teacher or class parent for a contact list, add the numbers, and send each parent their own text with your RSVP link. Nobody is added to a group chat with strangers.
Can I ask if parents are staying or dropping off?
Yes. Add a question to your RSVP form with stay and drop-off as choices. You'll know how many adults to expect before you order food.
How do I collect allergies for a kids party?
Add a short-answer question for allergies to the RSVP form. Parents fill it in when they answer, and you can see every note before you order the cake.
Can I send the pickup time on the day?
Yes. Schedule a text for the morning of with the end time and where to pick up, so parents who dropped off know exactly when to come back.
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.
