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.

A few good questions.
Can I use Partiful for my wedding?
For a single casual event, sure. For a wedding weekend with travel, several events and different guest groups, Textual writes and times every text from one plan.
Does Partiful send text messages?

How do guests share photos?
Every wedding includes a shared album. Its link arrives in your texts, guests add photos from their browser with no app, and you see every one by the morning after.
