Frequently asked questions
Do guests need an app to RSVP to a text message invitation?
No. With GroupText, guests can RSVP by replying in the same text conversation. No app download or account is required. They simply reply to the invitation text with their response.
Can I send a photo invitation by text message?
Yes. GroupText lets you create a photo invitation and send it by text. The image appears in the thread so guests see the invite and event details without opening a link or another app.
Can I track RSVPs in one place?
Yes. Hosts can see who has replied and how (yes, no, maybe) in one place. That makes it easier to plan and follow up without scrolling through a long group chat.
Can I send reminders by text after the invitation?
Yes. You can send reminders by text to guests who have not yet responded or to everyone with an update. Everything stays in the same text-first workflow.
