**Notes:**

*  Please note that you will only be able to send text invitations to 10-digit US numbers at this time. For international users, please copy and paste your invitation's shareable link to share with guests that way. 
* We recommend adding a guest with either their email or phone number to keep your guest count as accurate as possible. 
* The text notification will come from the short code number 296-94.
