How Much Does Wedding Texting Cost? Every Pricing Model Compared (2026)
Current wedding texting prices at 100, 150, and 250 recipients, with message-bundle math, unlimited plans, Wedping, and fees to check.
By Mia · · Updated
Cordially Wed costs one payment of $69 for up to 50 unique guest phone numbers, $119 up to 100, $169 up to 200, or $249 up to 400, with unlimited SMS, MMS, and WhatsApp and no subscription. Across services, wedding texting can cost tens of dollars for a small message bundle or hundreds for a larger guest list with unlimited sends or human review. There is no useful single average without knowing your list and message plan. This guide compares advertised USD prices checked on September 13, 2026, using explicit examples rather than a claimed industry average.
We publish this guide as Cordially Wed. The examples assume one unique phone number per guest and standard retail prices. They exclude optional add-ons and discounts. See the full wedding text service comparison for feature differences.
The pricing models to understand
Some services sell a fixed number of outgoing messages, others charge by guest count with unlimited sends, and some combine a guest price with an outbound allowance. Wedping, for example, charges $2 per guest with up to thirty broadcasts per guest and unlimited replies. Cordially Wed charges once by unique phone numbers with unlimited messages. Dearest Guest charges $3 per guest with human review and a $99 minimum.
A text bundle can be the lower price if you send little. Unlimited wedding messages remove the need to predict every last-minute update. Replied is a separate comparison: its entry price buys 25 text RSVPs, not unlimited outgoing wedding communication.
| Service | 100 recipients | 150 recipients | 250 recipients |

| Cordially Wed | $119 | $169 | $249 |
| WedTexts | $140 | $195 | $300 |
| Wedping | $200 | $300 | $500 |

| Dearest Guest | $300 | $450 | $750 |
What it costs at 100 recipients
Assume six messages to each of 100 recipients: 600 outgoing messages. This is an illustration; targeted RSVP reminders may reduce the total.
- Cordially Wed: $119, unlimited messages.
- WedTexts: $140, unlimited messages.
- Wedping: $200, within its thirty-broadcast allowance.
- Text My Wedding: $87 for 1,200 texts, including receiving replies.
- Daisy Chat: $125 for its up-to-140-guest tier.
- Dearest Guest: $300 before optional extras.
The $87 bundle is cheaper than Cordially Wed at this usage. The comparison changes when you need more messages or value SMS and WhatsApp together.
What it costs at 150 recipients
Six full-list messages now mean 900 sends; eleven mean 1,650. Compare both scenarios before choosing a bundle.
- Cordially Wed: $169, unlimited messages in either scenario.
- WedTexts: $195, unlimited messages.
- Wedping: $300, within its thirty-broadcast allowance.
- Text My Wedding: $87 for 900 sends, or $137 for a 2,500-text plan covering 1,650.
- Daisy Chat: $175, because 150 exceeds its 140-guest tier.
- Dearest Guest: $450 before optional extras.
Dearest Guest's current page does not show the old $399 cap. Do not use that cap to budget a larger guest list.
What it costs at 250 recipients
Six full-list messages mean 1,500 sends; twelve mean 3,000.
- Cordially Wed: $249, unlimited messages.
- WedTexts: $300, unlimited guests and messages.
- Wedping: $500, within its thirty-broadcast allowance.
- Text My Wedding: $137 for 1,500 sends, or $237 for a 5,000-text plan covering 3,000.
- Daisy Chat: $250 for its up-to-400-guest tier.
- Dearest Guest: $750 before optional extras.
The bundle can still cost less. Cordially Wed's value is a predictable message budget with SMS and WhatsApp replies in one workspace, not a claim to be cheapest at every usage level.
Other prices and fees to include
TextMyGuests lists $34/400, $59/800, $119/2,000, and $229/4,000 message packages, plus $2 for each month of paid event duration. Six paid months add $12. Confirm how recipients, inbound replies, long texts, and pictures use its allowance before estimating the number of broadcasts.
txt.wedding advertises $1 per guest; verify your actual list and channel needs in its current offer. Replied starts at $9.99 for 25 text RSVPs, with larger packages selectable.
Check the service period, supported country codes, reply features, and upgrade rules. Text My Wedding says incoming replies do not consume the outgoing allowance and that upgrades cost the plan difference. Dearest Guest lists an optional emoji upgrade at $1 per guest, capped at $99. These details can change the comparison even when the headline price looks simple.
How to choose a budget you can live with
Count the phone numbers you will contact, then sketch the messages you already know you need. Add a realistic second scenario with transport changes, repeated details, and another event's reminders. Use those two totals to compare bundles against unlimited plans.
For a destination wedding, also record the number each guest uses for WhatsApp. A travel SIM may change their active mobile line while WhatsApp stays on the registered home number. That is a reason to compare channels and reply management alongside dollars.
Cordially Wed includes unlimited messages in every paid phone-number tier. The guest list, per-event RSVPs, website, seating charts, and wallet passes are free; optional Guest Concierge is separate. Start with a free self-test, or read why unlimited wedding texts help when plans change.
Check the workflow as well as the price
Once you have compared the number allowance and expected sends, review the wedding texting product and SMS service. Build your guest list and send yourself a free test before choosing the paid plan that fits your unique phone numbers.
