Wedding Day Reminder Texts
Copy wedding-day reminders for schedules, arrivals, parking, shuttles, weather, attire, livestreams, receptions, and targeted guest groups.
A wedding-day reminder text should tell guests what to do next: “Please arrive at venue by arrival time for our start time ceremony. Park in lot and use entrance.” Keep it short enough to understand while getting ready or traveling.
Do not turn the reminder into the whole website
Use the guest-facing timeline for the complete sequence. The day-of message should surface the next important event and one current link. For ceremony-specific arrival or seating details, use the ceremony reminder examples.
Separate messages by audience
General guests, reception-only guests, virtual attendees, family, and the wedding party do not need identical instructions. Targeting makes each message shorter and reduces the chance that someone follows the wrong time.
Transportation deserves its own clear instruction. Link to the transportation wording guide when guests must choose between driving, rideshare, or a shuttle. Send a separate update if the pickup or venue changes.
