Pearl vs. Text My Wedding.

These are two different tools for two different jobs, often confused because both involve texting. Text My Wedding is a broadcast tool: it pushes the same announcement or reminder out to your whole list and collects RSVPs. It does not answer the questions coming back. Pearl is a concierge: each guest texts their own question and gets an instant, personal answer, any hour, and Pearl learns each new one so you're never the help desk. (Pearl sends reminders and a morning briefing too, so it also covers what a broadcast tool does.) And the concierge now costs less to start: Pearl is $49 flat, under Text My Wedding's $57 entry bundle.

Honestly: if all you need is to send: the same announcement or reminder to everyone, plus RSVP collection, and you're not trying to answer individual questions, a broadcast tool does that one job simply. The moment guests start texting back with "what time is the shuttle?" and "is it black tie?", a broadcast tool routes all of it to you. That's the job Pearl exists to take off your plate.

Is Text My Wedding a wedding concierge?

No, it's a broadcast and RSVP tool. It sends the same scheduled message to your whole list; it doesn't answer each guest's own questions. Pearl is the two-way concierge that does.

What's the difference between Pearl and Text My Wedding?

Direction. Text My Wedding pushes announcements out; Pearl handles the questions coming back in, answering each guest privately and instantly, and learning each answer once. Pearl also sends reminders and a morning briefing, so it covers the outbound case too.

Can Text My Wedding answer my guests' questions?

Not like a concierge: replies typically route back to you to answer by hand, so you're still the help desk. Pearl answers them for you and only asks you about a genuinely new question once.

How much does Text My Wedding cost?

It sells one-way text bundles per wedding: Starter $57 for 500 texts, Plus $87 for 1,200, Premium $137 for 2,500, Ultra $237 for 5,000. The Knot lists $87 as what couples usually spend. Pearl starts at $49 flat with two-way AI answers, and no Pearl plan charges per message.

When should I pick Text My Wedding instead?

If you only need to send announcements and collect RSVPs, not field questions, a broadcast tool is simpler. To stop being the help desk, pick Pearl. And since Pearl starts at $49, under their $57 entry bundle, price no longer decides it.
