Share Any Wedding Website With Every Guest by Text
You built the website. Now everyone has to actually see it. Text My Wedding sends your link to every guest, personalized, and follows up with the people who never opened it — whatever platform your site was built on.

Which wedding website are you using?
It does not especially matter — we send links, not platforms. Pick yours below for the platform-specific export and import instructions, or keep reading for the universal version that works with any site, including one you built yourself.
What every couple runs into is the same problem in different clothing: the website is finished, and somewhere between a third and half the guest list has never opened it.
How to send your wedding website to guests
Five steps, no platform migration, and nothing about your website changes. This works whether your site is on The Knot, Zola, Joy, Minted, Canva, Squarespace or your own domain.
Copy your website URL
Whatever it ends in — theknot.com, zola.com, withjoy.com, minted.us, my.canva.site or a domain you bought. We shorten it, track opens per guest, and keep it looking clean inside the message.
Bring in your guest list
Export a CSV from your website platform, paste from a spreadsheet, or type guests in by hand. During the import we map the columns, catch duplicates and flag numbers that cannot receive texts.
Collect the missing mobile numbers
Nearly every list is missing some. Share a collection link or QR code and guests add their own number in one tap — no account and no app. It fills in over a week or two on its own.
Write the announcement
Say what is on the site and what you need from them. "Our wedding website is live" performs far worse than "RSVP, hotel block and the schedule are up — please reply by Aug 1."
Schedule the follow-ups
Reminders go only to guests who have not opened the link or answered. Set the sequence once and it runs for months without you touching it.

Why texting beats emailing your wedding website
Wedding emails get filtered into Promotions, opened by a minority of the list, and forgotten by the people who did open them. Text messages are read within minutes by almost everyone — including the relatives who have not checked an email account since 2019.
The website does not change. The only thing that changes is how many people reach it, and how quickly you find out who did not.
The announcement-to-RSVP sequence
Five messages across six weeks, each one going only to the guests who still have not answered. This is the entire method, and it is why couples who text finish their headcount before the deadline instead of after it.
The link, the deadline, and what is on the site.
Different wording, same link. Catches the people who scrolled past.
Out-of-town group only.
"RSVPs close Friday."
No link. Just a question. Closes most of what is left.
Website messaging vs. Text My Wedding
Most wedding website platforms include some guest communication. Coverage varies — Zola and Joy do real texting, others stop at email — but the general shape of the gap looks like this.
| Capability | Typical website platform | Text My Wedding |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding website and RSVP page | ✓Keep yours | —We link to it |
| Email to guests | ✓Standard | —Text-first by design |
| Text messages | ◐Varies by platform | ✓The whole product |
| Scheduled sequences | —Rare | ✓Unlimited steps |
| Two-way replies | —Rare | ✓Shared inbox |
| Link open tracking per guest | —— | ✓Who opened, who did not |
| Day-of coordination | —— | ✓Timed and grouped |
| Planner access | —— | ✓Shared account access |

How to share a wedding website with guests
The practical answers to the questions behind the search: when to send it, what to say, how to get the numbers, and what to do about the guests who never look.
When to send the website
Send it as soon as the RSVP page works and the date, venue and travel basics are on it. A website announced early with three sections beats a perfect one announced late, because guests visit it repeatedly as questions occur to them.
If save the dates have already gone out, the website announcement is your second contact and can be short. If they have not, this message is doing both jobs and deserves the details.
What a wedding website announcement text should say
Three things: who is getting married and when, what is on the site, and the one action you want. "RSVP by August 1" is an action. "Check out our website" is not.
Keep it under about 300 characters so it arrives as a single message rather than being split by the carrier. Put the link on its own line — it makes the message scannable and the link tappable.
Getting mobile numbers you do not have
Nearly every guest list starts as an address list. The fastest fix is a collection link that guests fill in themselves — share it in family group chats, put it on the website, and text it to the numbers you already have with a note to pass it along.
Expect it to take a week or two and to end around ninety percent coverage. The last handful are usually people who will be told about the wedding by a relative regardless.
Personalization that is worth the effort
First name and party size are enough. A message that opens with someone's name and already knows they were invited with a guest reads as an invitation rather than a broadcast, and people answer invitations.
Beyond that, personalization gets expensive in time and adds little. Groups are where the leverage is: the right message to the right subset beats a very clever message to everyone.
The guests who never open the link
There will be ten or fifteen of them, and they are disproportionately the people you most want at the wedding. Two things work: a message with no link at all that simply asks whether they can come, and a phone-friendly offer to RSVP them yourself if they reply here.
Both bypass the website entirely, which is the point. The website is a convenience for you, not an obligation for them.
After the RSVPs close
The website keeps working as the reference — schedule, travel, dress code — while text takes over anything time-sensitive. Hotel block releases, rehearsal details, wedding-week logistics and day-of changes all belong in a message, not on a page nobody refreshes.
Keeping both is not duplication. It is a reference and a channel, and weddings need one of each.
Wedding website announcement wording
Four openers that work regardless of which platform built the site. Copy one, swap the details, send.

Sharing your wedding website by text
How do I send my wedding website to guests?
Text it. Collect mobile numbers, write one message that says what is on the site and what you need from them, and send it to the whole list at once. Then follow up a week later with everyone who did not open it.
What should a wedding website announcement text say?
Three things: who is getting married and when, what is on the site — RSVP, hotels, schedule — and the deadline. Keep it under about 300 characters so it lands as a single message, and put the link on its own line.
Does this work with my wedding website platform?
Yes. We send links, so any wedding website works — The Knot, Zola, Joy, Minted, Canva, Squarespace, Wix or a domain you built yourself. Pick your platform from the grid above for import instructions specific to it.
Is text better than email for a wedding website?
For reach, yes. Wedding emails commonly land in Promotions and are opened by a minority of the list, while texts are read within minutes by almost everyone. Many couples do both: email for the long version, text for the part that has to be seen.
How do I get my guests' phone numbers?
Share a collection link or QR code in your family group chats and on your website. Guests add their own number in one tap and it appears in your list immediately — no account and no app on their side.
Can guests RSVP by replying to the text?
Yes. YES, NO and party-size replies update your headcount automatically, even if your website has its own RSVP page. For a lot of older guests this is the only route they will actually use.
Will guests find a text invitation impersonal?
Not when it uses their name and knows their party size. The complaint we hear is the opposite — guests like being able to answer immediately instead of remembering to find a website later that evening.
Your website is done. Make sure it's seen.
