Proposal Shared SMS Template for Wedding & Event Planners

A ready-to-adapt SMS message for wedding planners, event managers and venues, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.

When to Send This Message

Send when the proposal is ready. For wedding planners, event managers and venues, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps clients informed without a phone call. It works best when it is triggered automatically from your booking, billing or CRM software.

Couples and companies choose event partners on portfolio, budget fit and responsiveness.

The SMS Template

India (DLT format)

Header: [6-character header]-S · Category: Service Implicit

Dear {#var#}, your event proposal for {#var#} is ready: {#var#}. It includes decor, venue and vendor options. Let us know a convenient time to discuss.

International (plain text)

Dear {client}, your event proposal for {event} is ready: {link}. It includes decor, venue and vendor options. Let us know a convenient time to discuss.

Example with sample values

Dear Mr. Arora, your event proposal for the wedding is ready: https://example.com/p/WE1. It includes decor, venue and vendor options. Let us know a convenient time to discuss.

With these sample values the message is 175 characters in the standard GSM-7 character set, which is 2 SMS parts (square brackets count as two characters each). Long links or local-language (Unicode) text increase the count, as Unicode SMS allow 70 characters per single part.

Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.

Placeholders and Sample Values

Placeholder	Meaning	Sample value
{#var#}	Client	Mr. Arora
{#var#}	Event	the wedding
{#var#}	Link	https://example.com/p/WE1

Filling in each placeholder

Client (sample: Mr. Arora): Use the first name or the salutation the customer gave you; fall back to a neutral greeting if the field is empty.
Event (sample: the wedding): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
Link (sample: https://example.com/p/WE1): Use your own short, recognisable domain; for SMS in India the domain must be whitelisted on DLT, and each variable is usually limited to 30 characters.

This template has 3 placeholders and a body of 151 characters before values are filled in. Shorter messages cost less and are more likely to be read in full; aim to keep the filled-in message within one or two SMS parts.

Category and Approval

In India this type of message is usually registered as Service Implicit: it relates to an existing transaction or relationship and can be delivered to numbers on the DND registry. It must not contain promotional content.

Compliance Checklist

Each {#var#} holds only the kind of value it was registered for; most platforms limit each variable to 30 characters.
Any link uses a domain whitelisted for your header, as TRAI requires for URLs in commercial SMS.
The brand name in the message matches your registered business or header.

Rules to keep in mind for Wedding & Event Planners

Guest lists contain personal data that should be used only for the event. Portfolio content needs client consent, and package prices should list inclusions and taxes clearly.

General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our SMS compliance guide for India.

Tips for Better Results

Keep one purpose per message; if you need to send a reminder and a document, the reminder should still make sense on its own.
Use the customer's name and a reference number so the message is easy to trust and to search for later.

Where this message fits for Wedding & Event Planners

Couples and corporate clients start planning months ahead, browsing Instagram and Pinterest for ideas, shortlisting planners and venues, comparing packages and budgets, and meeting a few planners before signing. Decisions involve families or several managers, and the planner then coordinates dozens of vendors and guests.

Instagram and Pinterest show real events; search and wedding directories bring enquiries; WhatsApp coordinates with clients and vendors and shares mood boards; email carries proposals, contracts and invoices; SMS sends guest reminders and RSVP links.

Questions About This Template

When should a event company send the proposal shared message?

Send when the proposal is ready. Automate it from your software where possible so it is never forgotten.

It marks the variable part of a DLT template, such as a name, date or amount. Everything outside the variables must be sent exactly as registered.

Which DLT category should I choose for this proposal shared message?

Usually Service Implicit. The final category depends on your entity type, the consent you hold and your operator's guidelines, and we confirm it during registration.

Can DND Teams set this up for my event company?

Yes. We adapt the template to your business, register or submit it, and connect it to your software or our panel. Share your use case on WhatsApp or through the form.
