RSVPing through text is more quick and convenient than other methods, so it’s perfect no matter the occasion. As a guest, sending your RSVP is important because it lets the host know the size of the guest list and how many supplies they need. As a host, text RSVPs are great for quickly hearing back from your guests without waiting for emails or snail mail. Keep reading for examples of how to write your RSVP text as a guest and how you can set up text RSVPs next time you host.
Things You Should Know
- As a guest, send the host a polite text about whether or not you can attend and how many people are going.
- Text the keyword to the number on the invite and answer the prompts if the host used an automated texting service for their invites.
- As an event host, sign up for an automated RSVP text service like Save the Date or Replied App to manage large guest lists and avoid giving out your personal number.

Services like Paperless Post will send you an invitation card through text, where you can click on the invitation and then RSVP. Other services like Evant.app, allow event hosts to send invitations to guests, prompting guests to respond with one keyword to RSVP (text-to-RSVP).
