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:
- Free for up to 15 guests
- $75 for up to 50, $140 for up to 100, $195 for up to 150
- $300 for unlimited guests
Text My Wedding sells buckets of texts, with unlimited guests at every tier:
- $57 for 500 texts, one-way only, no replies
- $87 for 1,200 texts, with replies and photo receiving
- $137 for 2,500 texts, $237 for 5,000
Cordially Wed sizes its one-time price by unique guest phone numbers, with unlimited messages:
- $59 for up to 100 numbers, $99 for up to 200, $149 for up to 400
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.
- WedTexts: $140, the up-to-100-guest tier. Message count is irrelevant.
- Text My Wedding: the $57 Starter holds 500 texts and cannot receive replies, so the realistic choice if you want replies is the $87 Plus, whose 1,200 texts cover this comfortably.
- Cordially Wed: $59, the up-to-100-number tier, unlimited messages, replies included.
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.
- WedTexts: $195 for the up-to-150 tier.
- Text My Wedding: the $87 Plus holds 1,200 texts, enough for the single-event case but not the multi-day one, which pushes you to the $137 Premium.
- Cordially Wed: $99 for up to 200 unique numbers, unlimited messages either way.
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:
- Channels: WedTexts (SMS and MMS) and Text My Wedding are both text-message only with no WhatsApp channel, and WedTexts guarantees delivery for US numbers only. Cordially Wed sends SMS and WhatsApp from the same screen, which matters when family lives abroad.
- RSVPs: Text My Wedding collects RSVPs, dietary needs, and addresses by text form. WedTexts sends reminders that point to an RSVP hosted elsewhere. Cordially Wed includes free per-event RSVP collection, so a reminder can go only to non-responders and an update only to that event's guests.
- Extras: Text My Wedding's photo stream and digital guest book are a genuine draw. WedTexts has native iOS and Android apps and roughly a decade of track record. Cordially Wed adds a free wedding website, seating charts, Apple and Google Wallet passes, and a unified inbox where replies land, with texts sent from its own dedicated numbers rather than your personal phone.
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.
