Event communication

One update. Every guest. Every important channel.

Message Guests gives hosts a fast way to send one event update to the whole guest list. Write once, then RapidParty can deliver it by SMS, email, and app push while also placing the announcement on the event feed.

📣 No more copying the same update into five places.
Message Guests lives in the Guests section of your event. Ongoing conversations can continue in event chat and event posts.

Why hosts use it

The right tool for one important announcement.

A parking change, weather update, schedule shift, venue detail, or last-minute reminder should not require rebuilding the guest list in a messaging app. Message Guests keeps the announcement tied to the event and sends it from the Guests section where the host is already working.

📣
One send, broad reach

Start with one short host update instead of duplicating the same message across texts, email threads, and social posts.

🔗
Event context stays attached

The composed message includes the event link, so guests can return to the details, RSVP, posts, and other event information.

🧭
Status without guesswork

Hosts can check past message jobs and see channel-level results instead of wondering whether an update reached anyone.

How it works

A guest announcement in four steps.

The workflow is intentionally compact so a host can send an update while managing the rest of the event.

1️⃣
Open the Guests section

From the event page, the host chooses Message Guests beside the guest list.

2️⃣
Write the update

Keep it focused and useful. The composer shows the remaining character budget.

3️⃣
Send once

RapidParty queues the guest message for available SMS, email, push, and event-feed delivery.

Communication toolkit

Different channels for different moments.

Message Guests handles the broadcast. Other event communication tools are better for discussion, replies, and ongoing coordination.

📲
SMS

Reach guests with verified phone numbers for time-sensitive reminders, arrival instructions, and changes.

✉️
Email

Give guests a readable copy of the update and a direct path back to the event.

🔔
App push

Notify guests using the RapidParty app without asking the host to send a second version.

📰
Event posts and feed

Keep the announcement visible on the event page so guests can find it after the initial alert.

💬
Event chat

Use chat for back-and-forth planning, questions, and the conversations that follow a broadcast.

🗨️
Comments and replies

Use event comments or replies for shared discussion around a detail, post, or announcement.

Great for

The updates that usually create a dozen messages.

🌦️
Weather and location changes

Tell everyone about a rain plan, parking entrance, venue change, or updated arrival time.

🍽️
Food and contribution reminders

Remind guests what is still needed for a potluck, BBQ, watch party, or item-registry event.

⏰
Day-of timing

Send a concise “doors open,” “we started,” or “please arrive by” update without hunting down every contact.

FAQ

Message Guests questions, answered.

How can I message everyone coming to my event?

Open the event's Guests section, choose Message Guests, write one short update, and send it. RapidParty queues the message for the guest's available communication channels.

Does one message send as both a text and an email?

Yes. Guests with a verified phone can receive an SMS, guests with an email can receive an email, and guests using the app can receive a push notification. A guest may receive more than one channel when more than one contact method is available.

Will the message appear on the event page too?

Yes. The update can be posted to the event feed as part of the same guest message, giving guests a place to find the announcement after the text or email is gone.

Can I see whether the message was delivered?

Yes. Message status shows whether a send is queued, processing, complete, or failed, along with SMS, email, push, and event-post results when processing is complete.

How long can the message be?

RapidParty keeps the shared message short so the host name and event link can be included reliably. The composer shows the remaining character budget while you write.

What else can guests use to communicate?

For ongoing conversation, guests can use event chat and event comments or posts when those features are enabled. Message Guests is best for one important announcement sent to the whole guest list.
