Text RSVP
RSVP by text, with a form that does the counting.
Text each guest your RSVP link. They tap it, choose Going or Can't make it, say how many are coming, and send. No app and no login. Your list shows who's going, who hasn't answered, and the total headcount, and anything a guest texts back goes to your inbox.
10 free texts to try it · No app for guests · No credit card
A reply is a conversation. An RSVP is a number.
Text replies like "yes!!" or "maybe, depends on work" are hard to add up. The RSVP link gives every guest the same simple form, so the answer and party size are recorded the same way each time, and the conversation stays in your inbox where it belongs.
What guests fill in, and what you see
Every submission lands in your responses list with its party size and answers.

Two ways guests answer
They tap the RSVP link
Their status, party size, and answers are saved to the form, and your counts change right away. Submitting again updates their answer instead of adding a second one.
They text back instead
The reply opens a conversation in your inbox and the headcount stays as it was. Answer them there, then set their status by hand if they told you they’re coming.
Set up RSVP collection
Create your event
Name, date, time zone, and venue.
Publish the RSVP form
It starts with "Can you make it?" and "How many in your party?". Add your own questions, pick a look, and publish.
Text the link
Put {RSVP link} in any message. Every guest gets the same short link to your published form.
Watch the counts
Each submission updates Going, No reply, and Can't make it, and you get a notification. Filter to No reply and text just those guests.
What the RSVP form handles
Going or Can't make it
One required question, two big buttons. Guests can submit again to change their answer.
Party size
Guests enter how many are coming, and your headcount adds up the parties, not just the replies.
Your own questions
Add yes/no, short answer, or multiple choice questions, such as a meal choice or song request, and mark any as required.
Households
Group a family into a household so they get one text and answer once with their party size.
Fix it by hand
Someone told you in person? Change their status yourself from the responses list.
Shareable link
The same link works on a flyer or in an email. Anyone who RSVPs with their number joins the guest list.
RSVP texts that get answers
Each one includes {RSVP link}, which fills in with your published form.
First ask
109 charsHi {First name}! We'd love to have you on {Event date}. Tap here to RSVP and add your party size: {RSVP link}
Gentle nudge
95 charsHi {First name}, still hoping you can join us on {Event date}! It takes 20 seconds: {RSVP link}
Final call with a deadline
96 charsLast call, {First name}: we give the caterer our numbers Friday. Can you RSVP today? {RSVP link}

Text RSVP questions
If a guest texts back "yes", does that count as an RSVP?
No. Typed replies go to your inbox as a conversation and don't change the headcount. Only the RSVP form records a response. If a guest answers by text, you can set their status yourself from the responses list.
What do guests fill in on the RSVP form?
Whether they can make it, how many are in their party, and any questions you add. The form also asks for their name and mobile number and their consent to get texts about the event.
Can I text only the people who haven't answered?
Yes. In your RSVP responses, filter to No reply, select those guests, and send them a text. It goes out right away to just that selection.
How do guests RSVP?
Add your RSVP link to any text. Guests tap it, answer on a short form with no login, and their response is added to your headcount. Anything they text back instead lands in your replies inbox.
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.
Which countries are supported?
Text My Event sends to US and Canadian (+1) mobile numbers, in English.
