Welcome Messages

Dietary RestrictionsDestination weddings we've held, coast to coast
Eight destinations, six countries, every time zone handled so far.
One text, any country, no app
Your guests fly in from everywhere, so every save-the-date, travel note, and reminder arrives as a plain text, nothing to download. International delivery is built into the price, with no per-country fee.
Group your guests, every text by name
Select the guests who belong together and save them as a group in seconds, the early arrivals, the girls, the family flying in together. Each group gets its own messages, prescheduled to go out automatically with each guest's own name, never one blast to everyone.
We read every message before it sends
A real person reviews each message before it sends, making sure every detail is right, that nothing slips through, and keeping track of the whole sequence from the first text to the last.
Follow one guest, the first hello to the flight home
A few favorite moments from the real messages one guest received on the way to a Riviera Maya, Mexico wedding we ran, names changed for privacy. See how it works.

Dearest GuestnowHey Olivia! Thanks so much for all of your responses so far, we truly appreciate it. One last housekeeping item before we send final pre-departure logistics... Airport transfers to and from the resort are included as part of your package. Our travel partner has coordinated group transportation for everyone based on the flight manifest we have on file. If you have already arranged your own transportation and DO NOT need one of our scheduled transfers, please let us know by tomorrow at 12 pm noon by responding "No transportation". Otherwise, we'll have you all set and will include you in the group transfers. Thanks!

One wedding. Every message, handled.
Here is what the full journey added up to, across that wedding's guest list.
Sent by hand, at two minutes each, that is over 50 hours of texting. More than two days straight, in the middle of your wedding week.
The couple didn't send a single one by hand. Every text went out on schedule, while they were getting married.
$3 a guest. Unlimited texts included.
It's $3 a guest, one time. That one payment covers every message to every guest, for the whole wedding weekend, as many as it takes. Edit a line, swap a date, or add a whole new message whenever plans shift, free and as often as you like, with no per-message fees and no surprise line items.
