Send or Schedule a Group Message

Compose the message

  1. Open the event dashboard and choose Messages.
  2. Write the text.
  3. Use Personalize to insert a guest's first or last name, household name, everyone invited in their party, or one of your custom properties such as a table number.
  4. Use To to choose all guests, groups, or individual guests.

Guests in overlapping selected groups receive one copy. The confirmation shows the final eligible recipient count.

Add optional content

  • Choose Photo or video for one media attachment.
  • Open More message tools for a map, RSVP Form, Address Collection form, Attachment Page, or Hotel Room Blocks.
  • Paste a normal destination URL; Text My Wedding shortens supported links to tmwed.us for delivery and tracking.

Send a test first

Choose Just me under To and send a test. Check personalization, links, media, and sender number on your phone.

What guests receive first

Before a guest's first text from your event, Text My Wedding automatically sends them a one-time notice: “You've been subscribed to receive notifications for [event name] from Text My Wedding. Message frequency varies. You can text HELP for help, or STOP to opt-out.” Your message follows. Each guest receives this notice only once for the event.

Send now

Select the final groups, choose the immediate-send option, and review the confirmation before choosing Send now. After sending, open the recipient count to review delivery for each guest.

Schedule for later

Open Send options → Schedule for later and select a future date and time. The composer shows the event timezone. Change it under Settings → Event Details before scheduling; changing it later does not move messages already queued.

Filter the message list to Scheduled or Drafts to find and edit pending work. Scheduled recipient deliveries reserve plan capacity immediately.
