Text RSVPs have been becoming increaisnly popular in recent years, as event hosts and organization leaders are looking for more ways to collect RSVPs easier. After all, sending a Text RSVP is a lot easier than filling out a clunky form.
While adding a phone number to text or call to RSVP card may not be the most "traditional" thing to do, it may be the most simple way to collect RSVPs. Especially amongst younger people, they are more likley to send a text to RSVP as opposed to sending back a postage letter.
Here's how to actually do it.
To include a "Call or text" option on your RSVP cards, simply add a line with your preferred contact information. For example, you could write: "Kindly respond by [date] via RSVP card or call/text [Your Name] at [Phone Number]". This approach allows guests to choose their preferred method of response, accommodating both traditional and modern communication preferences. For a more casual tone, you might phrase it as "Can't wait to celebrate! RSVP by [date] - text or call [Your Name] at [Phone Number]"
Does it look bad to include a phone number to text on the bottom of an invitation? Kindly respond by mail or text Shummy at (401) 697 - 5212.
Ten years ago, this may have been seemed really "casual", but nowadays, it is becoming more commonly accpeted as technology has been more widely adopted. The chances of someone answering a text is 3-5x more likely than other traditional forms of communication. Also, consumers even prefer to receive texts over phone calls or emails.

Event hosts have also leveraged QR codes to collect Text RSVPs. By adding a QR code to your event website or paper invitations, invitees can scan the QR code, which will lead them to text the phone number.
