Save-the-date texts

Save-the-date texts work best as a follow-up to a mailed or emailed save-the-date. They're short, warm and make sure the date actually gets saved - not buried in an inbox.

Casual / close friends Hey [Name]! We're getting married! Mark your calendar for [Date] in [Location]. More details coming soon, but we'd love to have you there. So excited!
Formal / extended family Hi [Name], we're thrilled to share that we'll be getting married on [Date] at [Venue] in [City, Country]. Please save the date - a formal invitation with all the details will follow. We hope you can join us!
Destination wedding Hi [Name]! We're getting married on [Date] in [Destination]! We know it's a trip, so we wanted to give you plenty of notice. Start looking at flights into [Airport] - we'll send full details about accommodation and the schedule soon.
Follow-up to mailed save-the-date Hey [Name], just a quick heads up - your save-the-date is in the mail! [Date] in [Location]. Can't wait to celebrate with you.

RSVP reminder texts

RSVP reminders are one of the most common reasons couples text their guests. Keep them friendly - people aren't ignoring you on purpose, they're just busy.

First gentle reminder Hi [Name]! Just a friendly reminder - we'd love to get your RSVP for the wedding on [Date]. You can reply here or use our wedding website: [Link]. No rush, but it helps us plan!
Deadline approaching Hey [Name], our RSVP deadline is [Date] and we haven't heard from you yet. We really hope you can make it! Can you let us know either way? It helps with catering and room assignments.
Final nudge Hi [Name], we're finalizing our guest count this week and we're missing your RSVP. Could you reply with a quick yes or no? We need to confirm numbers with our venue by [Date]. Thank you!
Plus-one confirmation Hi [Name]! We have you down as attending - yay! Quick question: will you be bringing a plus-one? We need final headcount for seating. Just reply with their name or let us know it's just you.

Travel and logistics texts

These templates handle the practical details guests need most - especially for destination weddings where travel coordination can make or break the experience.

Shuttle information Hi [Name]! Shuttle details for the wedding: pickups from [Hotel] at [Time] on [Date]. The ride to the venue is about [Duration]. Return shuttles will run from [Time] to [Time]. Let us know if you need a spot!
Dress code Hi [Name]! A few guests have asked about the dress code, so here's the rundown: the ceremony is [Dress Code] (think [Example]). The welcome dinner is more relaxed - [Casual Description]. And comfortable shoes are a must for the venue grounds!

Parking information Hi [Name]! For those driving to [Venue]: there's free parking in the [Location] lot. Enter through [Gate/Street] and follow signs to guest parking. The walk to the ceremony is about 5 minutes. See you there!

Payment reminder texts

Asking guests for money is always awkward. These templates keep it warm and clear, with a direct link so paying is easy.

Accommodation payment Hi [Name]! Friendly reminder that the accommodation deposit for [Venue/Villa] is due by [Date]. Your share is [Amount]. You can pay securely here: [Link]. Let us know if you have any questions!
Excursion or activity Hi [Name]! You signed up for the [Activity Name] on [Date] - it's going to be amazing! The cost is [Amount] per person. You can pay here: [Link]. Deadline is [Date] so we can confirm the booking.
Gentle overdue reminder Hey [Name], just a quick follow-up - we still have an open balance of [Amount] for [Item]. No stress at all, just want to make sure it doesn't slip through the cracks. Pay link: [Link]. Thanks!
Payment confirmation [Name], we received your payment of [Amount] for [Item]. Thank you so much! One less thing to worry about. Can't wait to see you on [Date]!

Day-of texts

Day-of texts need to be short, clear and actionable. Guests are in vacation mode - give them exactly what they need, nothing more.

Morning schedule reminder Good morning! Today's schedule: ceremony at [Time] at [Location], cocktail hour at [Time], dinner and dancing from [Time]. Shuttle leaves the hotel at [Time]. See you soon!
Ceremony time The ceremony begins at [Time]! Please be seated by [Earlier Time]. Enter through [Entrance]. Phones on silent, please - our photographer will capture everything. We're so happy you're here.

Rain plan / schedule change Quick update: due to weather, the ceremony has moved indoors to [Location]. Same time - [Time]. Everything else stays the same. See you there!

Post-wedding texts

The wedding is over, but communication isn't. Thank-you messages, photo sharing and memory collection keep the warmth going.
