RSVP by text for invitations.
Guests RSVP by replying to the invitation text—quick yes/no/maybe style replies. Hosts track responses in one place. No app download required for guests.
RSVP by text means sending your invitation through a text conversation and letting guests respond in that same thread. With GroupText, guests can reply quickly without downloading an app, and hosts can track responses and send reminders from a single text-first workflow.
How RSVP by text works
You send the invitation by text. Guests reply in the same conversation with a quick response (yes, no, or maybe). Their responses are tracked for you, and you can send follow-up reminders by text. The flow has lower friction than forms, links, or apps because everything happens in the thread they already use.
Why text RSVPs can improve response speed
- Fewer steps than forms, links, or apps.
- Immediate context in the messaging thread.
- No forgotten links or lost emails.
- No account creation or app download for guests.
- Easier for casual event planning and quick replies.

Frequently asked questions
Can guests RSVP without downloading an app?
Yes. With GroupText, guests RSVP by replying in the same text conversation. No app download or account is required. They just reply to the invitation with their response.
Can I collect party RSVPs by text message?
Yes. GroupText is built for collecting party RSVPs by text. You send the invitation by text, and guests reply in the same thread. You can track yes, no, and maybe responses in one place.
Can people change their RSVP later?
Yes. Guests can reply again to update their response. Hosts see responses in one place, so changes are easy to track without scrolling through a long group chat.
Can I send reminders to guests who haven’t responded?
Yes. You can send reminders by text to guests who have not yet replied, or send an update to everyone. Reminders stay in the same text-first workflow.
Is RSVP by text better than using a group chat for tracking?
For tracking RSVPs, a text-first tool like GroupText is often easier than a plain group chat. You get structured responses and a clear list of who said yes or no, without manually scrolling and counting. Guests still reply in a familiar text thread with no app required.
