How to send a wedding invite via text?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

Send a text invitation by writing a warm, short message with the date, time and venue, then add a link to your wedding website or e-invite for full details and RSVP.

Text invitations work best for guests who are close to you and comfortable with quick communication. Start with a friendly line, then give the key facts: your names, the date, the time and the location. If you have a wedding website or an e-invite, include the link so guests can see the full details, travel information and the RSVP form. Keep the message personal and warm, and avoid using only emojis or abbreviations. You can send individual texts to make each guest feel valued, or use a group message for a hen do or stag do crowd. Remember that some older guests may prefer a printed invitation, so consider sending texts alongside paper invites for those who like them. If you are including a link, test it first on a few phones to make sure it opens easily. Text invites are quick to send and update, which is handy if you need to change a time or venue. But they can feel less formal, so match the tone to your wedding style and your guests' expectations. For legal or official details, such as giving notice, check GOV.UK or your register office.
