Graduation party reminder texts
Graduation weekends are packed. A guest might hit three open houses in one afternoon. A reminder keeps your party on their route: the time window, the address, where to park, and the backup plan if it rains. Send the first reminder a week out and a short one the morning of.

What to include
- Graduate's name
- Date and time window
- Address, plus parking or entrance notes
- Weather backup plan for outdoor parties
- Ceremony logistics if guests are attending it
When to send
- 1 week before

Weather plan, parking, and ceremony tickets if relevant.

Short reminder with the time window. Guests plan their route that morning.
Tips for getting it right
- Repeat the time window in every reminder. Open-house guests decide when to come based on it.
- Send parking details before the day if your street is small. Grad parties create neighborhood traffic.
- Have a rain plan and say it out loud, even if it's "we're moving inside".
- Remind confirmed guests only. Chase non-responders separately with an RSVP reminder.
Graduation party questions, answered
When should I send a graduation party reminder?
About a week before, then the morning of the party. Add a mid-week note if the weather or parking needs explaining.
What should a graduation party reminder include?
The graduate's name, the time window, the address, parking, and the rain plan for outdoor parties.
Can I schedule graduation party reminders ahead of time?
Yes. With Text My Event you can write the week-before and morning-of reminders now and schedule them to send automatically.
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.
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.
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.
