How do wedding texting services charge?
Most services use one of four pricing models. The same wedding can cost very different amounts depending on which one you pick, so count your guests and your planned texts before you compare.
| Pricing model | How it works | Real prices | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per message (a text allowance) | You buy a number of texts. One text to one guest uses one message, so 100 guests and 5 texts each is 500 messages. | Text My Wedding: one-time plans from $19. TextMyGuests: $34 for 400 messages up to $229 for 4,000, plus $2 for each month the event is active. | Most couples. The plan says exactly how many texts you get and you can use every one, so you know the full cost before you send anything. Couples usually send 5 to 7 texts per guest, so the right plan is easy to work out up front, and you can upgrade or add texts if you run over. |
| Per guest (a guest-count package) | The price is set by how many guests are on your list. Texts are often advertised as unlimited, but fair-use terms commonly limit how much you can actually send. | WedTexts: free for up to 15 guests, then $75 for 50 guests, $140 for 100, $195 for 150 and $300 for unlimited guests. | Couples who would rather pay by guest count. Read the fair-use terms first: "unlimited" rarely means every text you might want to send, and the limit usually isn't stated as a number. |
| Annual subscription | A yearly fee covers a pool of texts or guests across several events. | Text My Wedding Planner: $299 a year for 5,000 texts shared across unlimited active weddings. | Wedding planners and coordinators texting guests for several couples a year. A couple with one wedding rarely needs one. |
| Texting from your own phone | No service fee. You type numbers into a group text or send each guest a message yourself. | Free, but guests see each other's numbers and every reply goes to the whole group. | A small group like the wedding party, not a full guest list. |

How much does guest texting cost for wedding planners?
Planners texting guests for several couples can use the Planner plan instead of buying a plan per wedding: $299 a year for 5,000 texts shared across unlimited active weddings, plus $30 for each extra 1,000 texts. Every wedding on the plan can receive replies and collect guest photos and videos. See guest texting for wedding planners.
What counts toward the cost?
- Every text to every guest counts once. A message sent to 120 guests uses 120 texts.
- Replies guests send you are free. Answers you send back count like any other text.
- Scheduled texts reserve their messages when you schedule them, so you can't overbook your plan.
- Upgrading later costs only the difference between plans, so starting small doesn't waste money.
- You can keep texting guests for up to 2 months after your wedding date, at no extra charge.
Frequently asked questions
Is wedding guest texting a monthly subscription?
Not with Text My Wedding. Every wedding plan is a one-time payment, starting at $19, and upgrading later costs only the difference between plans. Some other services add a monthly fee while your event is active, so check for one before you compare prices.
Do guest replies use up my texts?
No. Replies guests send you don't count against your plan. Each text you send, including an answer to one guest, uses one message per recipient. Receiving replies is included on larger plans.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Every account starts free, and you can send test texts to your own phone to see exactly what guests will get. You pay when you're ready to text your guests.
What happens if I run out of texts?
Upgrade to a bigger plan and pay only the difference.
Do guests pay anything or need an app?
Guests don't pay Text My Wedding anything and don't download an app. They get a regular text from your wedding's own number, and each guest gets a private text rather than a group thread.
Which phone numbers can I text?
US and Canadian mobile numbers, including when those guests are traveling abroad.
