Does Paperless Post send invitations by text or only email?

Paperless Post supports text, email and shareable links, and it can schedule invitation delivery. Choose based on the whole workflow and price structure; texting alone is not a feature exclusive to Text My Wedding.

Can Paperless Post be free for 50 wedding guests?

Its official pricing page says the first 50 invitations sent directly by email or phone can be free when you select the free feature set. Paid design elements change that. Text My Wedding Lite is $19 for 50 outgoing texts; it should not be described as cheaper than a free invitation.

Do I pay Paperless Post invitation Coins again for every reminder?

Do not assume that. Its pricing page includes broadcasts and private messages, and the Paperless Pro FAQ says repeated messaging in the same event does not increase the annual guest count. Separate events and new invitation recipients have different accounting. Confirm your pay-per-event messaging terms before estimating costs.

Can I keep Paperless Post RSVPs and add wedding-day texting?

Yes. Keep the original invitation and RSVP event, then import the mobile contacts you want to text into Text My Wedding. Reconcile any guest-list changes manually: there is no claimed Paperless Post account sync or automatic RSVP-history transfer.

Pricing for a real wedding plan

Illustrative scenarios, not quotes. Prices checked October 25, 2026; Text My Wedding amounts are USD, before any applicable tax.

50 guests, one invitation

50 distinct mobile recipients, one invitation each, no extra sends. Paperless Post’s retrieved calculator showed 50 guests on the five-Coin Premium Card bundle.

Text My Wedding: Lite is $19 for 50 outgoing texts, exactly covering this send. Lite does not include incoming replies or guest photo uploads.

Paperless Post: The displayed Premium example is $52.50 total (50 × 5 = 250 Coins, displayed as $1.05 per guest). The free feature set may instead cover 50 direct invitations at $0 if you do not need paid elements.

50 guests, two separate mailings

A save the date and a separate invitation to the same 50 recipients = 100 Text My Wedding sends. For Paperless Post, assume two separate Card events using that same 50-guest Premium configuration, not an update within one event.

Text My Wedding: Starter is $57 for 500 outgoing messages, leaving 400 for reminders. Plus at $87 adds incoming replies and video uploads.

Paperless Post: At the verified 50-guest Premium example price, two such events are 2 × $52.50 = $105 (500 Coins total). Reusing guests in a separate event is different from messaging them again within an existing event; do not multiply invitation costs for every reminder.

Paperless Post amounts reflect the dollar display returned by its official pricing calculator on the verification date, before any applicable tax. Its per-guest rate changes with quantity and feature bundle; this is not a universal Coin exchange rate or a quote for a different guest count. Confirm your design and exact Coin requirement in the editor. Paperless Pro’s FAQ says repeated broadcasts within the same event do not count as additional annual guests.

When Paperless Post suits you

Paperless Post suits couples who value its designer collections, mixed email/text delivery, event-page customization or a free invitation for up to 50 direct recipients. If invitations and RSVPs are already working, you can keep them there and use a separate tool only for wedding-week texts.

When Text My Wedding suits you

Text My Wedding suits couples budgeting repeated outbound wedding texts from one guest list, especially when household RSVPs, guest photo uploads and a Plus-plan reply inbox are useful. It is not a replacement for email delivery. Check the mobile numbers you have and the total outgoing sends before buying.

Keep your RSVPs intact when moving wedding updates

Decide whether to keep Paperless Post as the invitation and RSVP source. If guests have already responded, keep a copy of their latest answers; moving communication does not require asking everyone to RSVP again.
Use your source guest spreadsheet or an available account export to prepare the Text My Wedding template. Add mobile numbers where you previously used email, map households and groups, and carry over opt-out decisions.
Import and review guest records. If you choose a new RSVP form, reconcile previous responses separately; importing contact rows does not automatically migrate Paperless Post designs, event pages or RSVP history.
Recreate only future texts such as shuttle reminders and photo requests. Test your new event number, then stop matching scheduled notices in Paperless Post. Keep old invitation links working for guests who still use them.
