# Send Invitation by Text

**Sending an Invitation by text**

**Can I send my Invitation by text instead of email?**\
Yes. You can add guests by phone number and send your Invitation as a text — from desktop, mobile browser, or the app. A few things to know before you start:

* Text Invitations are supported for U.S. and Canada numbers only. For international guests, use email or share your event via a shareable link instead.
* Each guest needs a name attached to their phone number — you can't send to a number without one.
* Invitation texts will come from the short code **296-94.**

**How do I send by text from desktop?**

1. Log in to your Evite account and click your name or photo in the top right corner.
2. Select **My Invitations,** find your event, and click **Add Guests.**
3. Enter each guest's name and phone number, then click **Add Guest** to save them to your pending list.
4. When you're ready to send, click **Send to \[x] Guests.**

You can also upload phone numbers in bulk via an Excel spreadsheet — details [here](https://help.evite.com/s/article/add-guests-via-excel-spreadsheet---premium).

**How do I send by text from a mobile browser?**

1. Log in to Evite.com from your mobile browser and tap your photo or initials in the top right corner.
2. Select **My Invitations** and find your event.
3. Tap **+ New Guest,** enter the guest's name and phone number, then tap **Add Guest.**
4. Tap the X to close the panel, then tap **Send to \[x] Guests** when you're ready.

**How do I send by text from the app?**

1. Allow Evite to access your contacts when prompted.
2. Search from Phone contacts, Evite contacts, or Past guest lists — or tap the **+** icon to add someone manually by name and phone number.
3. Tap **Send to \[x] Guests** or **Next: Review & Send** when ready.
