You’re making your wedding guest list and thinking about everything you’re going to have to mail – save-the-dates, invitations, thank you cards – and realize “I don’t have everyone’s address!” What to do?
A Simpler Way to Collect Addresses of Your Wedding Guests
Putting together your wedding guest list is hard enough. But collecting addresses of those on the list so you can mail your invitations? That’s another level of frustration. What if there was a tool to help streamline the process and make it easier?
You’re in luck! TextMyLink was designed with this in mind, by a couple who were going through that headache while planning their own wedding.
What is TextMyLink?
TextMyLink is a wedding planning app that helps couples collect mailing addresses, RSVPs, and guest information by text. Instead of chasing people down one by one, couples can send a simple link and have everything organized in one place.
While it is designed primarily for newly engaged couples, TextMyLink is also helpful for wedding planners, parents helping with a wedding, and anyone planning an event who needs to collect guest contact information quickly and accurately.
Collecting guest addresses can be one of the most tedious parts of wedding planning.
How does it work?
Couples create a custom event page with their photo and event details. From there, TextMyLink sends guests a simple link via text message. Guests enter their mailing address and contact information directly from their phones, and responses are automatically organized for the couple, making the process simple and convenient for everyone involved.

When it’s time to send invitations or cards, couples can easily track responses and export their guest information—no spreadsheets or manual tracking required.
Instead of chasing down relatives for mailing addresses or managing scattered replies, everything is collected in one streamlined place.
See a Need, Create a Solution
Why did you create it?
When asked why he created TextMyLink, Daniel S., founder of the app, shared:
“I got a text from a friend asking for my address for his wedding invitation, and it made me realize how much time that must take when you have to send the same message to so many people and then manually organize all the replies. At the time, I could not find a solution that felt simple, customizable, and built around texting, so my wife-to-be and I decided to create it ourselves while planning our own wedding.”
What problem were you personally running into while planning your wedding?
One of the biggest challenges was collecting accurate, organized guest information without turning it into a manual project. Like a lot of couples, we didn’t have everyone’s addresses readily available, and we needed a simple way to collect the right information, track responses, and keep everything organized for invitations and cards.
TextMyLink simplifies the process of collecting wedding guest addresses and keeping that information organized throughout the planning process.
Why couples might find it helpful
For many couples, the most valuable part of TextMyLink is the time it saves during one of the most detail-heavy stages of wedding planning.
Instead of tracking down addresses through texts, emails, and spreadsheets, everything is collected in one simple process. It also reduces the mental load that comes with trying to remember who responded, who still needs to send information, and where everything was written down, which can be surprisingly stressful during planning.
What features do couples tend to love most?
Couples can personalize their event page with details like their event title, photo, and description, making the process feel more polished and personal for guests.
The platform can also collect important planning details like mailing addresses, email addresses, RSVPs, and plus-one information, helping couples keep everything organized in one place instead of juggling multiple lists and spreadsheets.
Final Takeaway
TextMyLink takes one of the most time-consuming parts of wedding planning and makes it significantly simpler. For couples already juggling a long to-do list, having a streamlined way to collect addresses and other guest information can be a small but meaningful stress reliever during the planning process.
Wedding planning comes with enough moving parts already. Anything that helps simplify the process and keep information organized can make those planning tasks feel a little less overwhelming.
