Guest texting

Wedding texts your guests love getting.

Textual is wedding text messaging for your whole weekend: elegant texts from one number with your contact card, timed to the moment and sent only to the guests they’re for. Nothing to download.

Priya’s phone

Flying in, riding the shuttle

Welcome to town · delivered to 31 out-of-towners, Priya included.

Saturday · 2:14 PM

Every guest has one small question.

Multiply it by 86. That’s your phone, an hour before you walk down the aisle.

Textual answers the questions before anyone has to ask, so your phone can stay in someone else’s bag.

Plans change. The right people know.

Rain at 1:50? Rewrite the shuttle text in a tap. The 42 riders hear about the new pickup by 2:00, and everyone else’s phone stays quiet.

Quick heads-up: the shuttle leaves the hotel lobby at 3:45. Bring yourselves and your dancing shoes.

The guest list

Every guest gets their own weekend.

Seat guests into groups once, like a dinner plan. Out-of-towners get hotel tips, the wedding party gets call times, and Grandma never hears about the shuttle.

    Send us your candids. The blurry ones, the dance-floor ones, all of them.

    Still smiling about last night. Thank you for everything. Here’s what everyone caught.

For your guests

Kind to everyone’s phone.

One number to save
Every text comes from the same number, with a contact card so guests know it’s you.
Only what matters
Around five texts a weekend, each one something a guest would otherwise have asked.
Your words, approved
Nothing sends until you’ve read it, and you can change any message right up to the minute.
Easy to step away
Any guest can reply STOP and they won’t hear from us again.

A few good questions.

How do we send a mass text to our wedding guests?

Add your guests, sort them into groups and write your texts, or start from ours. Preview each one, then schedule it. Every guest gets their own text from one number, never a group thread.

Will guests know the texts are from us?

Yes. The first text arrives with your contact card, so your names appear on every text after it.

What if plans change on the day?

Edit any text right up to the minute it sends, or write a new one for just the people affected. Rain, a late shuttle or a moved dinner takes a moment.

Do guests need an app?

No. Everything arrives as an ordinary text, and the photo album opens in their browser.

Can we text guests outside the US?

Textual texts US phone numbers. Guests abroad can still add their photos to your album from any browser.

How much does it cost?

$299 once per wedding, for every text of your weekend and your shared photo album.

Your weekend starts here.

Bring your website and your guest list. We’ll help with everything in between.
