Guest Event-Day Reminder WhatsApp Template for Wedding & Event Planners
A ready-to-adapt WhatsApp message for wedding planners, event managers and venues, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send to confirmed guests a day before. For wedding planners, event managers and venues, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps clients informed without a phone call. Most businesses send it automatically from their software, so the timing is consistent.
Events involve many vendors, dates and payments, and clear communication with the client and guests makes the experience smooth.
The WhatsApp Template
Reminder: {{1}} is tomorrow at {{2}}, {{3}}. Parking is available at {{4}}. Location: {{5}}
Thank you.[Business Name]
Example with sample values
Reminder: the wedding reception is tomorrow at 7:30 PM, the Lake View Lawn. Parking is available at Gate 2. Location: https://example.com/m/WE3 Thank you.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| {{1}} | Event | the wedding reception |
| {{2}} | Time | 7:30 PM |
| {{3}} | Venue | the Lake View Lawn |
| {{4}} | Parking | Gate 2 |
| {{5}} | Map link | https://example.com/m/WE3 |
Filling in each placeholder
- Event (sample: the wedding reception): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Time (sample: 7:30 PM): Give times with AM/PM or a clear range, and the time zone if the customer may be in another country.
- Venue (sample: the Lake View Lawn): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Parking (sample: Gate 2): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Map link (sample: https://example.com/m/WE3): 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 5 placeholders and a body of 105 characters before values are filled in. WhatsApp allows up to 1,024 characters in a template body, but short messages with one clear action get the best response.
Category and Approval
Utility templates must relate to a specific transaction, account or request the customer already has with you, such as a confirmation, reminder or status update. Do not add offers or promotional lines, as Meta may reclassify the template as marketing.
Compliance Checklist
- Links point to your own website or a trusted domain, and button labels are short and clear.
- Marketing messages include an easy way to opt out, and opt-outs are honoured promptly.
- The template is approved in the correct category before sending; utility and authentication templates cannot carry promotional content.
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 WhatsApp compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Send it as close as possible to the event it relates to, such as right after booking or the day before an appointment.
- Keep one purpose per message; if you need to send a reminder and a document, the reminder should still make sense on its own.

Questions About This Template
When should a event company send the guest event-day reminder message?
Send to confirmed guests a day before. Sending it at a consistent time builds trust and reduces follow-up calls.
