How Much Does Wedding Texting Cost? Every Pricing Model Compared (2026)

How much does wedding texting cost in 2026? Worked math at 100, 150, and 250 guests across per-guest, per-text, and one-time pricing models.

Short answer: for one wedding, one time, most couples spend between $59 and $300 to text their guests. Around $100 to $140 is typical at 100 guests. Expect $150 to $300 on lists up to 250. Anything above $300 usually means a concierge service where a person reviews every message before it sends.

The reason the answer is a range rather than a number is that this category has no single pricing model. Some services charge by how many guests you have, some by how many texts you send, one adds a human reviewer and charges by the head, and one charges per RSVP received. The same wedding can cost $59 or $399 depending only on which meter you happened to pick. Prices below come from each company's own public pricing pages as of July 2026; check their sites for current numbers before you buy.

The three ways wedding texting is priced

• Per guest, unlimited messages. You pay once by list size and never count sends. WedTexts ($75 for 50 guests, up to $300 for unlimited), Daisy Chat ($50 for 40 guests, up to $250 for 400), txt.wedding (banded at roughly $1 per guest, with a $50 floor for anything up to 50 guests), and Cordially Wed ($59 for up to 100 unique numbers, $99 for 200, $149 for 400).
• Per text, unlimited guests. You buy a bucket of messages and your list size stops mattering. Text My Wedding sells 500 texts for $57 up to 5,000 for $237. TextMyGuests sells 400 for $34 up to 4,000 for $229. Buckets are normally counted per recipient, so one message to 100 guests spends 100 of them.
• Per guest, with a human in the loop. Dearest Guest charges $3 per guest, $99 minimum, capped at $399, and reviews every message before it goes out.

There is a narrower fourth model too: Replied charges per RSVP received, from $9.99 per event.

What it costs at 100 guests

Assume a normal plan: a save the date, an invitation, two reminders to people who have not replied, a hotel and shuttle note, and two day-of updates. At 100 guests that is roughly 600 individual texts.

• Per guest: WedTexts $140, Daisy Chat $125, txt.wedding $100, Cordially Wed $59.
• Per text: Text My Wedding $87, because the $57 tier holds only 500 texts and is send only. TextMyGuests $59 for 800 texts if credits count per recipient, which the company does not state anywhere on its site; if a credit is one broadcast instead, the $34 tier covers you. Either way add $2 for every month your event stays open.
• Concierge: Dearest Guest $300.

So the same seven messages to the same hundred people cost anywhere from $59 to $300. Message-metered plans look cheapest on the page and are the ones most likely to run short, since 600 of those 800 credits are spent before the wedding week even starts.

What it costs at 150 guests

The same plan at 150 guests is about 900 texts. A multi-day wedding with per-event timing passes 1,500 without trying.

• Per guest: WedTexts $195, Daisy Chat $175 (150 guests clears its 140-guest band), txt.wedding $150, Cordially Wed $99.
• Per text: Text My Wedding $87 covers 900, but not the multi-day version, which moves you to $137. TextMyGuests needs its $129 tier on the same per-recipient reading, since 900 texts overruns the 800-text plan.
• Concierge: Dearest Guest $399, because $3 per guest on a 150-person list hits their cap.

This is where the models genuinely diverge. Guest-metered pricing rises with your list even if you barely text. Text-metered pricing rises with how chatty your wedding is even if your list is small, and it asks you to do arithmetic before announcing a schedule change.

What it costs at 250 guests

At 250 guests the same plan is around 1,500 texts, and a three-event weekend can double that.

• Per guest: WedTexts $300, its top tier. Daisy Chat $250, txt.wedding $250, Cordially Wed $149.
• Per text: TextMyGuests $129 for 2,000 texts on the same per-recipient reading, or $229 if you go past it. Text My Wedding $137, or $237 for the multi-day version.
• Concierge: Dearest Guest $399, the same as at 150 guests, since the cap applies to every list above 133.

Large lists are where per-text pricing reads best on paper and behaves worst in practice. One broadcast to 250 guests spends 250 credits, so a $129 plan is eight broadcasts. If your wedding turns out to need twelve, the plan you budgeted is not the plan you finish on.

The costs that are not in the headline price

• Duration fees. TextMyGuests adds $2 per month for each month your paid event stays open, so a fourteen-month engagement is another $28.
• Replies. Text My Wedding's $57 tier is send only; two-way replies start at $87. WedTexts reads as one-way broadcast by design, with its own FAQ framing guest replies as the thing it spares you, so plan on collecting RSVPs somewhere else.
• Time limits. Daisy Chat keeps your wedding line active for 30 days after the date, which is ample for logistics and tight for thank-you notes.
• Credit units. TextMyGuests does not state on its pricing page whether a credit is one recipient or one broadcast. That single unpublished detail moves your real cost enormously, and it is worth asking before you pay.
• Channel. Almost nobody in this category offers WhatsApp. Dearest Guest reaches other countries by international SMS, and txt.wedding claims WhatsApp in its homepage copy, though not on its pricing or features pages.

So what should you budget?

Set aside $150 for a 100-guest wedding, $200 for 150, and $300 for 250, and you are at or above the going rate for every model except concierge. If you want the lowest possible entry price and will send few messages, TextMyGuests at $34 is the cheapest of the full-service tools (Replied's $9.99 buys only 25 RSVPs, not a messaging plan), and its guest grouping and multi-user access are genuinely useful for a couple working with a planner. If your guests are spread across countries and you want a person checking every send, Dearest Guest earns its $399. If you would rather guests got instant answers than more broadcasts, Daisy Chat's AI responder is the only one of its kind here.

Cordially Wed is one more option, priced once by unique guest numbers: $59 up to 100, $99 up to 200, $149 up to 400, with unlimited messages, replies always included, and SMS plus WhatsApp from the same screen. The guest list, per-event RSVPs, wedding website, seating charts, and wallet passes are free. Before paying anything, you can send real test messages to your own phone at cordiallywed.com/invite/.
