Rehearsal dinner reminders
Rehearsal dinner reminders for just the people invited
Put your rehearsal guests in one group, then text them the time, the address, and a map pin. Schedule it for the morning of so the wedding party shows up on time without a single phone call.

How it's sent
A group for the rehearsal, a text for the day
Add your officiant, wedding party, and family to a Rehearsal dinner group. Write the reminder the week before and schedule it for noon on the day, so it arrives while there's still time to find a babysitter or iron a shirt.
- 1
Pick who gets it
All guests, or a group you made, like Wedding party or Shuttle riders. Someone in two of the groups you pick still gets one text.

Write it once
Personalize drops in each guest's first name. Add a photo, a map, or an Attachment Page with the details.

Send now or schedule it
Pick a date and time in your event's timezone, or send right away. Send it to “Just me” first to see exactly what guests get.

Tips for rehearsal dinner texts
The rehearsal is small, so the texts can be specific.
- Keep a separate Rehearsal dinner group so the rest of your guests don't wonder why they weren't invited.
- Add a Google Map Link to the restaurant, not just its name.
- Say when the night ends, too. Out-of-town family will plan around it.
- Hosting a welcome party the same night? Make it its own group and its own text.
Every text, sent the way guests want it
The same tools behind every message you send from Text My Wedding.
Private, one-to-one texts
Every guest gets their own text. Nobody sees anyone else's number, and there's no group thread to reply all to.
Replies come only to you
When a guest texts back, it goes to your wedding's number, not to 150 other phones. Read and answer replies in the app on Plus and up.
Their name, not “Hi all”
Personalize adds each guest's first name, last name, or household name to the same message.
Groups for every audience
Make groups like Wedding party, Shuttle riders, or Out-of-town guests, and text only the people who need it.
Scheduled ahead
Write messages weeks early and they go out on their own, at the time you picked, in your event's timezone.
Delivery for every guest
See who each message reached and which numbers failed, then fix the number and send to the guests who missed it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I text only the people at the rehearsal dinner?
Yes. Make a Rehearsal dinner group from your guest list and choose it under Send to. Nobody outside the group gets the text.
Can I collect RSVPs for the rehearsal dinner?
Yes. Each event can have its own RSVP form with its own totals, so the rehearsal dinner headcount stays separate from the wedding's.
Can I include directions?
Yes. Add a Google Map Link from More message tools, and guests tap it to open the location in their maps app.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests get a normal text message from your event's number. Links open in their phone's browser, with no account or password.
What do guests see the first time you text them?
Just before your first message, each guest gets a one-time notice that they'll receive texts for your wedding, with HELP and STOP instructions. Your message follows right after.
How much does it cost?
Each text to each guest uses one message from your plan, and replies from guests are free. Plans are one-time purchases starting at $19 for 50 messages, and every account starts free.
