How to Text All Your Wedding Guests at Once (For $1)

Why texting beats email for wedding communication

The average email open rate is around 20%. The average text message open rate is 98%. When you need your guests to know about a venue change, a time update, or where to park — a text gets through. Every single time. Unlike a group chat where everyone sees each other's numbers, ZestyText sends individual messages from your named event, so guests receive a personal text without the chaos.

What to text your wedding guests (and when)

Most couples send three or four messages total. A save-the-date reminder about a month out, a details reminder a week before with the address and parking info, a day-before reminder with the ceremony time, and sometimes a morning-of message. With ZestyText you set all of these up in one sitting and they go out automatically — you don't have to remember to send anything on the day.

What does it actually cost?

The Party Pack covers up to 500 guests for $8. That's less than a single wedding favor. Add automatic reminders for $0.99 each — so a full sequence of four automated messages to 500 guests costs around $12 total. No monthly fee, no account required for the $1 plan, no complicated setup. Most couples finish in under ten minutes.

What will the text look like to your guests?

Every message starts with FROM SARAH'S WEDDING (or whatever you name your event) in capitals, so guests immediately know who it's from. The opt-out notice is added automatically. You can write the messages yourself or use the built-in AI writer — tell it your event name, date, venue, and tone, and it writes a warm, perfectly worded message in seconds.

How to add all your guest numbers

Eight different ways. Type them in one at a time, paste a list from your notes app, upload your guest spreadsheet as Excel or CSV, import from Google Contacts, or share a sign-up link so guests opt themselves in. No technical knowledge needed at any step.
