WedTexts vs Text My Wedding: Wedding Texting Services Compared (2026)

WedTexts vs Text My Wedding: one meters guests, the other meters texts. Compare their 2026 pricing with worked examples, plus a third option with unlimited messages.

By Mia · 2026-07-20

WedTexts and Text My Wedding are the two best-known names in wedding guest texting, and they solve the same problem in genuinely different ways. Both send scheduled texts to your guest list, both work without any app for guests, and both charge once per wedding rather than a subscription. The real difference is what each one meters: WedTexts caps how many guests you can text, Text My Wedding caps how many texts you can send. That distinction decides which is cheaper for your wedding, so this comparison works the math at real guest counts, then adds a third option, Cordially Wed, that prices once by list size and never meters messages. Prices are from both companies' public pricing pages as of July 2026; check their sites for current numbers.

What each service actually meters

WedTexts sells by guest count, with unlimited messages at every tier:

Text My Wedding sells buckets of texts, with unlimited guests at every tier:

Cordially Wed sizes its one-time price by unique guest phone numbers, with unlimited messages:

All three are one-time payments, no subscription. Replies are included at every Cordially Wed tier, included on WedTexts paid tiers, and start at $87 on Text My Wedding.

The math at 100 guests

Say you text 100 guests a save the date, an invitation, two RSVP reminders to stragglers, a hotel and shuttle note, and two day-of updates. Reminders go only to non-responders, so call it around 600 texts total.

At this size Text My Wedding and Cordially Wed land close together, while WedTexts at $140 costs more than double Cordially Wed and about 60 percent more than Text My Wedding. The difference is what happens when you send more than you planned: on Text My Wedding, every extra message spends down a bucket; on the other two it costs nothing.

The math at 150 guests

At 150 guests the same messaging plan runs around 900 texts, and a multi-day wedding with per-event timing can pass 1,500.

The pattern generalizes. Guest-metered pricing rises as your list grows, even if you barely text. Text-metered pricing rises as your wedding gets chattier, even if your list is small, and it makes you count before announcing a last-minute change. Pricing by unique numbers with unlimited messages rises only with the list itself, and never asks you to ration a send.

Beyond price: channels, RSVPs, and extras

All three reach guests as a normal text with nothing to install. Beyond that:

A fair verdict for each

Pick WedTexts if your guest list is small and domestic and you value a long track record: the free 15-guest tier is a genuinely useful way to text just your wedding party, messages are unlimited at every tier, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pick Text My Wedding if you will send relatively few texts: unlimited guests at $57 is the cheapest way to broadcast to a very large list, as long as you stay one-way and inside the bucket, and its photo stream and digital guest book, from the $87 plan up, are a genuine draw. Pick Cordially Wed if you want unlimited messages and replies at the lowest price for 100 or 150 guests, need WhatsApp for family abroad, or want texting connected to a free guest list, RSVPs, website, and wallet passes. You can try it the same way you would try them: send a free test message to your own phone at cordiallywed.com/invite.
