WedTexts vs Text My Wedding: Which Wedding Texting Service Is Better? (2026)

Somewhere around the four-month mark, most couples realize the same thing: their wedding website is great at publishing information, but terrible at delivering it. Guests don’t check the site, emails go unread, and the same questions land in your texts again and again. This is when most couples start looking at wedding texting services, and the two names that come up first are almost always WedTexts and Text My Wedding.

Both are dedicated wedding texting tools that let you send mass texts to your guests for save-the-dates, RSVP reminders, day-of logistics, and last-minute updates. Both work with regular SMS (no app downloads for your guests). And both have been recommended on enough Reddit threads and wedding planning forums that you’ve probably seen them mentioned.

But they take very different approaches to pricing and features, and that difference matters more than the marketing on either site lets on. WedTexts charges by guest count and gives you unlimited messages. Text My Wedding charges by message count and gives you unlimited guests. That one decision shapes almost everything about which tool fits which kind of wedding.

Below, we’ll walk through each service in detail (features, pricing, pros and cons), then put them head-to-head with a side-by-side table, feature breakdowns, and real-cost math for different wedding sizes. By the end you’ll know which one fits your wedding, or whether a third option might be a smarter call.

The Quick Verdict

For most weddings, WedTexts is the better all-around pick because every paid plan includes truly unlimited messages and two-way replies, with no per-message counter to watch.

Text My Wedding is the better choice for very small weddings (under 30 guests) where message volume will be low, or for couples who specifically want photo and video collection from guests.

What Is WedTexts?

WedTexts is a wedding-specific texting service that launched in 2018 and has been refining the same idea ever since: unlimited wedding texting, flat one-time fee, no surprises. It’s available as a web app, an iOS app, and an Android app, which means you can schedule and send messages from your phone or your laptop interchangeably.

The core pitch is simplicity. You upload your guest list (or build it manually), organize guests into groups (bridesmaids, out-of-town, rehearsal dinner), schedule reminder messages using their template library, and let it run. Guests can text back, and you see their replies in your dashboard.

WedTexts Pricing

Plan	Price	Guests	Messages
Free	$0	Up to 15	Unlimited
50-Guest	$75	Up to 50	Unlimited
100-Guest	$140	Up to 100	Unlimited
150-Guest	$195	Up to 150	Unlimited
Unlimited	$300	Unlimited	Unlimited

All paid plans include three user accounts (so your partner and planner can both log in), unlimited groups, unlimited pre-scheduled reminders, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

WedTexts Pros

• Truly unlimited messages on every paid plan. No counter to watch. Send three reminders about the shuttle if you want to.
• Replies included on every paid plan. Guests can text back and you can see and respond from your dashboard.
• Free tier is genuinely useful. Up to 15 guests for free is enough for the wedding party or a tiny destination wedding.
• Three user accounts on paid plans. Your partner, planner, or maid of honor can share the work without sharing a login.
• Native mobile apps for iOS and Android, so you can edit a scheduled message from your phone.
• 30-day money-back guarantee.

WedTexts Cons

• No photo or video collection. WedTexts is texting-only. If you want guests to send pictures from the day, you’ll need a separate tool.
• Per-guest pricing can feel expensive for very small weddings. $75 for 50 guests works out to $1.50 per guest. Text My Wedding’s Starter plan is closer to $1.14 per guest at the same size (though without replies).
• US only. Works for US phone numbers, including US numbers traveling abroad, but not foreign numbers.
• The interface shows its age. It works fine, but it doesn’t feel as modern as newer wedding tools.

Who WedTexts Is Best For

Couples with 50 or more guests who want to send and receive messages without thinking about a message cap. Especially good if you want your partner or planner to share the work, or if your plans are likely to shift (real-time messaging is unlimited, so re-sending the venue address to half the guest list costs you nothing extra).

What Is Text My Wedding?

Text My Wedding is a newer wedding texting service that takes a different approach. Instead of pricing by guest count, it prices by message volume, and it includes features that WedTexts doesn’t, like a digital guest book for photo and video collection.

The product covers the same core use cases: digital save-the-dates and invitations, RSVP collection, group segmentation, scheduled reminders, and day-of logistics. The main difference is the pricing model and the inclusion of media collection through their partner ReplayMyDay.

Text My Wedding Pricing

Plan	Price	Messages	Replies	Photo/Video
Free Trial	$0	10	❌ No	❌ No
Starter	$57	500	❌ No	Photo only
Plus	$87	1,200	✅ Yes	Photo + Video
Premium	$137	2,500	✅ Yes	Photo + Video
Ultra	$237	5,000	✅ Yes	Photo + Video

Critically, the Starter plan ($57) does not include the ability to receive replies from guests. You need Plus ($87) or higher for two-way messaging. This is the single most important thing to know about Text My Wedding pricing, because the Starter plan is functionally useless for most weddings (guests will try to reply, and you’ll need to see those replies).

Text My Wedding Pros

• Photo and video collection. This is the headline feature WedTexts doesn’t offer. Through their partner ReplayMyDay, guests can text photos and videos to your wedding number, and you get a shared feed.
• Cheaper for small or low-volume weddings. If your guest list is small or you’re not a heavy texter, the per-message model genuinely saves money.
• Five plan tiers let you match your plan to your actual message volume.
• Image attachments in outgoing messages. Want to send a map screenshot or a save-the-date graphic? You can attach it directly to a text.
• No app for guests. Same as WedTexts. Guests get standard SMS.
• 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Text My Wedding Cons

• The cheapest paid plan ($57) doesn’t include replies. This is the gotcha. For most couples, the Starter plan is a non-starter because at least one guest will try to respond.
• Message caps on every plan. Even Ultra ($237) tops out at 5,000 messages. That’s plenty for most weddings, but it forces you to estimate message volume in advance, which is the kind of admin you’re hiring the tool to avoid.
• No native mobile apps. Web-based only.
• Single user account. Your partner and planner can’t log in independently without sharing credentials (which gets messy when two people are scheduling messages).

Who Text My Wedding Is Best For

Couples with smaller guest lists (under 50), low expected message volume, or a specific interest in photo and video collection from guests. Also a reasonable pick if you prefer pay-per-use pricing in general and don’t mind tracking against a message cap.

Pricing Predictability

Winner: WedTexts. You pay once, based on guest count, and you’re done. Text My Wedding requires you to estimate total message volume across nine months of wedding planning, which most couples get wrong on the low side.

Receiving Guest Replies

Winner: WedTexts. Replies are included on every paid plan, starting at $75. Text My Wedding requires the Plus plan ($87) or higher.

Photo and Video Collection

Winner: Text My Wedding. WedTexts simply doesn’t offer this feature. If you want guests to send pictures from the wedding day directly to a shared feed, Text My Wedding is your option.

Multi-User Collaboration

Winner: WedTexts. Three user accounts on paid plans, vs one on Text My Wedding. This matters more than people realize. Wedding planning is rarely a solo job.

Mobile Experience

Winner: WedTexts. Native iOS and Android apps. Text My Wedding is web-only. Both work fine, but you’ll appreciate the apps when you’re editing a scheduled message from an Uber.

Setup Speed

Tie. Both can be set up in under 30 minutes. Both have template libraries that get you most of the way there.

Customer Support

Tie. Both are responsive. Text My Wedding tends to get praise for owner-direct support (it’s a smaller team), while WedTexts has more years of public reviews to draw on.

Real-Cost Math: What Each One Will Actually Cost

The per-guest vs per-message pricing difference shows up most clearly when you do the math on real wedding sizes. Most couples send between 6 and 12 messages to each guest across the full timeline (save-the-date, RSVP reminders, day-of logistics, thank-yous, plus a few inevitable last-minute updates). We’ll use 8 messages per guest as a reasonable baseline.

30-guest wedding (240 messages):

• WedTexts: $75 (50-guest plan), unlimited messages
• Text My Wedding: $57 (Starter, no replies) or $87 (Plus, with replies)
• Verdict: Text My Wedding is $18 cheaper without replies. WedTexts is $12 cheaper with replies.

80-guest wedding (640 messages):

• WedTexts: $140 (100-guest plan), unlimited
• Text My Wedding: $87 (Plus, 1,200 messages)
• Verdict: Text My Wedding wins by $53, but you’re staring at a 1,200-message cap.

150-guest wedding (1,200 messages):

• WedTexts: $195 (150-guest plan), unlimited
• Text My Wedding: $137 (Premium, 2,500 messages)
• Verdict: Text My Wedding wins by $58, with a comfortable buffer.

250-guest wedding (2,000 messages):

• WedTexts: $300 (unlimited plan)
• Text My Wedding: $137 (Premium) or $237 (Ultra, 5,000 messages)
• Verdict: Text My Wedding Premium wins by $163 if you stay under 2,500 messages. If you don’t, Ultra closes the gap to $63.

The pattern: Text My Wedding usually wins on raw dollar cost. WedTexts usually wins on predictability and peace of mind. Which one matters more is mostly a personal preference.

WedTexts vs Text My Wedding: Which One Should You Pick?

Pick WedTexts if:

• Your guest list is 50 or more.
• You want unlimited messages without watching a counter.
• You want guests to be able to reply (and you to see those replies) without paying for an upgrade.
• You want your partner or planner to have their own login.
• Photo collection isn’t a priority (or your wedding website handles it).

Pick Text My Wedding if:

• Your guest list is small (under 30 guests).
• You’re confident you’ll send fewer than 1,200 total messages.
• Photo and video collection from guests is a priority.
• You prefer pay-per-use pricing in general.

The Shared Limitation Both Tools Have

WedTexts and Text My Wedding are both genuinely good at outbound communication. Schedule a reminder, send a blast, attach a photo, hit send. That problem is solved.

But wedding communication isn’t only outbound. In the last six weeks before your wedding, you’re going to get the same ten or fifteen questions from different people, on different days, at all hours. What’s the parking situation. What’s the dress code. What time is the ceremony. Can I bring my kids. Is the ceremony inside or outside if it rains. We have a full list of what guests actually ask if you want to see the damage.

Neither WedTexts nor Text My Wedding does anything about this. Guests text back, you read every message, you answer every message. The tools just sit there.

This is what Daisy Chat was built to fix. It’s a wedding chatbot that gives your wedding its own phone number and uses AI to answer guest questions automatically, pulling from your wedding website so the info is always current. You can still send unlimited text blasts (like WedTexts) and you can still segment groups (like both tools). But when someone texts asking what time the ceremony starts at 11pm the night before, they get an answer instantly, and you don’t have to be the one giving it.

WedTexts vs Text My Wedding: FAQ

Which one is cheaper for a 100-guest wedding?

Text My Wedding, usually. The Plus plan ($87) covers a 100-guest wedding with 1,200 messages and includes replies. WedTexts' 100-guest plan is $140. Text My Wedding wins by $53, but only if you stay under the message cap.

Do guests need to download an app for either one?

No, on both. Both services send regular SMS messages. Guests don't install anything.

Can either one handle RSVPs?

Both can send RSVP reminder messages and collect basic responses, but neither is a full RSVP system. Keep collecting RSVPs through your wedding website (Zola, The Knot, Joy) and use the texting tool to chase non-responders. We have separate guides on when to send RSVP reminders and what to do when guests aren't responding.

Can I switch from one to the other mid-planning?

Yes. Both let you import a guest list as a CSV. The annoying part is re-scheduling any messages you had queued up. If you're more than three months out, switching is easy. Inside of two months, factor in a couple of hours of re-setup.

Does Text My Wedding actually limit guests, or just messages?

Just messages. The 'unlimited guests' marketing is technically true (you can add as many people as you want to the guest list) but functionally limited by the message cap. 200 guests on a 1,200-message plan means six messages per guest before you hit the cap.

Is WedTexts' free tier actually usable?

For 15 guests or fewer, yes. It's the best free option in the category. Couples use it for the wedding party, a rehearsal dinner crew, or a small destination wedding. The full feature set is included.

Why is Text My Wedding's Starter plan a bad deal?

It's not strictly a bad deal, but it's missing the most important feature: you can't receive replies. For most couples this is functionally a deal-breaker, because at least one guest will reply to every message and feel ignored when no one responds.

What's the catch with Text My Wedding's photo collection?

Two things. It's powered by a partner service (ReplayMyDay), so you're effectively using two tools. And video collection requires Plus ($87) or higher, not the Starter plan.

Is there a wedding texting service that includes AI auto-answer for guest questions?

Yes. Daisy Chat is the only one that does. The AI pulls from your wedding website to answer guest questions automatically, in addition to letting you send mass texts and segment groups like the other tools.
