About the design
Halcyon, in detail
As an invitation, Halcyon holds the full set of details: your names, the ceremony date and time, the venue and a line about the reception. The suggested wording closes with “Cocktails, dinner and dancing to follow”. Each guest gets it as a text with their own link. Tapping it turns over an envelope addressed to them, lifts the wax seal and slides the card out, with an RSVP button underneath.
Halcyon sits in our art deco, black tie and vintage collections and comes in 4 palettes, Emerald, Noir, Oxblood and Ivory, built around emerald, gold and black. In the customizer you can switch palettes, edit your names, date, time, venue and the card's opening and closing lines, and choose the envelope liner, wax seal and stamp before you make an account.
It leans toward fall and winter weddings, but nothing in it would look out of place at another time of year. Invitations usually go out six to eight weeks before the wedding, or ten to twelve for a destination wedding, and replies land on your guest list as guests open their envelopes.

Couples who texted their invitations
Rated 5.0 on The Knot by couples who used Text My Wedding for save the dates, invitations, RSVPs and wedding-week updates.
Text my wedding has been so useful and convenient. It allowed us to send wedding invites and RSVP's to all our wedding guest at once. The fact the guest could easily RSVP using the link was perfect! The site allows you to see when the guest open the text as well, so you know they received it. It was user friendly. I also used the site to send a big thank you message after the wedding. However, i waited too long to send the thank you message, and my site expired. Without hesitation the staff extended our expiration date to allow me to send the thank you message. I highly recommend this site. 5 stars!

The Knot · Jan 8, 2025Currently using Text My Wedding to help keep my guests in the loop. We sent out digital save the dates and an engagement party invite and it was so easy! USPS is unreliable these days, so I like that we have a way to keep guests in the loop and can send text reminders to everyone!

Questions
The Halcyon invitation: common questions
Can I change the wording and colors on the Halcyon invitation?
Yes. You can edit your names, date, time, venue and the card's opening and closing lines, and Halcyon comes in 4 palettes: Emerald, Noir, Oxblood and Ivory. You can also choose the envelope liner, wax seal and stamp. All of it is free to try before you make an account.
How much do digital wedding invitations cost?
Designing is free, and you don't need an account to start. Texting yourself a test is free too. To send to your guest list, you pick a one-time plan, starting at $19, sized by how many texts you plan to send. There is no subscription, no coins and no charge per card or per guest.
Do my guests need an app or an account?
No. Guests receive an ordinary text message. Tapping the link opens the card in their phone's web browser, on iPhone or Android, with nothing to download and nothing to sign in to.
Can guests RSVP from the invitation?
Yes. When you set up RSVPs for your event, an RSVP button appears as soon as a guest opens their envelope, and each response is recorded against that guest on your list. You can then text reminders to anyone who hasn't answered.
Can I send a save the date and an invitation in the same design?
Yes. Every design comes as both a save the date and an invitation, so you can send matching cards months apart to the same guest list.
Can I send to guests with international phone numbers?
Text My Wedding sends to US and Canadian phone numbers. Guests with those numbers still receive texts while traveling abroad, as long as their carrier supports international service. Numbers from other countries are not supported yet.
