What we look for
Your website has the facts. Your guests need the texts.
A lawn ceremony becomes a note about shoes. A hotel block becomes a nudge before it closes. Tap a detail to see the text it turns into.

To everyone
Saturday’s ceremony is on the grass, so skip the stilettos and bring a layer for the evening. Garden formal, as promised.
Why this text
An outdoor grass ceremony means a shoe and layer note.

How many texts
What to text wedding guests, and when.
Usually about five: a hello, the useful details, a nudge before anything with a departure time, and a thank-you that gathers the photos. A full weekend may need seven.

Then it’s yours
One quick question. Then every word is yours.
If your site disagrees with itself, we ask, and you answer with a tap. Then rewrite any text, remove one, or ask for changes in plain words. Nothing sends until you approve it.

I read 9 pages of your site. One quick question.
Your schedule says the shuttle leaves at 3:45, but the travel page says 4:00. Which is right?

The shuttle question, answered early.
Only the 42 people catching the shuttle get this one. Everyone else enjoys a quieter phone.

Every message is written and scheduled ahead, so nobody hands their phone to the maid of honor.

A few good questions.
What should we text our wedding guests?
Usually about five texts: a hello with the essentials, the useful details a day or two before, a nudge before anything with a departure time, and a thank-you that gathers everyone’s photos. A full weekend may need seven.
Which wedding websites can Textual read?
Any public wedding website, from Zola, The Knot and Joy to Wix or one you built yourself. No website? Start with your names, date and city.

About a minute to read your site, then a question or two. If you’d rather not wait, we’ll text you when your plan is ready.
What does it cost?
Setting up your plan is free. When you’re ready for the texts to go out, it’s $299 once for your whole wedding, photo album included.
