Text invitations
Text invitations that show up as the card itself.
Pick a design in the Invitation Studio, change the wording, colors, and photo, and send it to your guest list. Each guest gets a text with the card as a picture and a link to the full invitation, so it looks like an invitation before anyone taps.

A link alone looks like spam. A card looks like a party.
Most digital invitations arrive as a bare URL that guests have to trust before they tap. Here the design travels with the text as a picture, so the date, place, and mood are visible right in the conversation, and the link opens the full invitation page.
Pick a design to start
Every template opens in the Invitation Studio, where you change the words, colors, and photo before anything is sent.
Admit One opens in the Invitation Studio after you sign in.
From design to delivered
Pick a design
Start from a template in the gallery, organized by occasion and theme.
Make it yours
Edit the title, date, place, and message, then adjust colors, fonts, and photo in the studio.

Choose one of your events or create one with a name, date, and time zone.
Text yourself first
Send the invitation to your own phone to see exactly what guests get. Then send it to your guest list from the composer.
Why send invitations by text
Card and link together
The picture shows the invitation at a glance; the link opens the full page.
One text per guest
No group thread and no reply-all. Each guest's answer comes only to you.
Edit before you send
The composer opens with the invitation text filled in, so you can change the wording and choose who gets it.
Households
Group a family into a household and the invitation goes to one phone instead of every member.
Wording to send with your card
Short lines work best next to a picture. Copy one or start with it in your composer.

Text invitation questions
What does a text invitation look like for guests?
They get a regular text with your invitation card as a picture and a link to the invitation page. If the picture can't be made, the text still carries the link, so nobody misses the invitation.
Do the invitation designs cost extra?
No. Designing in the Invitation Studio is free. You only pay when you text your guest list, once per event.
Can I collect RSVPs with my invitation?
Yes. Publish an RSVP form for the event and add {RSVP link} to your invitation text. Guests answer Going or Can't make it and their party size on the form.
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.
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.
Which countries are supported?
Text My Event sends to US and Canadian (+1) mobile numbers, in English.
