Benefits of Sending Wedding Invitation Texts

There are a lot of reasons to like text message wedding invites over formal, mailed invitations.

Cost Effective

Compared to the cost of sending wedding invitations in the mail, wedding text message invitations are a fraction of the cost. Wedding invitations can cost hundreds of dollars and sometimes over a $1,000. If you have someone professional design, print, package, apply stamps, and send your invitations the cost adds up.

Fast

Text messages can be delivered to your guests in a matter of minutes. Sending postcards or envelopes with invitations can take days, not to mention the time it takes to design, print, stuff in envelopes, and apply postage and addresses.

Efficient

You can invite a guest list of hundreds of people in a matter of minutes. Sending wedding invites in the mail can take weeks and can add a lot of decision fatigue to the bride and groom. There are literally thousands of wedding invite templates to choose from online. With text messages, you don’t have to worry about designs.
