How a host confirms permission
This page is for anyone reviewing the SimpleInvite text message program. It shows where consent is collected, what it says, and what happens next.
Last updated September 11, 2026
The consent wording, verbatim
I know these people and have their permission to get a text invite from me via SimpleInvite. Message and data rates may apply; they can reply STOP any time.
- Its default
- Unchecked by default. The host must tick it.
- Where it appears
- On the Send screen of the create flow, directly above the Send now button, and again on the send step of Invite more when texting is turned on for that host.
- What it covers
- It covers text messages only. It is not combined with an email consent, a terms acceptance, or a marketing sign-up, and there is no other checkbox beside it.
- What it gates
- Send now stays disabled until it is ticked. A host who does not tick it can still create the event and send by email or share the link themselves — texting is what is withheld, not the product.
The flow, end to end
A host signs up
A host creates an account with their own email address and accepts the terms of service and the SMS terms.
The host makes an event
Title, date and time, place, and optionally a photo and a note.
The host adds the people they are inviting
By typing a name and a mobile number, by pasting a list, by picking from their phone's contacts where the browser allows it, or by pulling in people from a past event. Every one of these is the host entering someone they already know.
The host confirms permission
On the Send screen, an unchecked box carries the wording above. Send now does nothing until the host ticks it. Ticking it records who ticked it, when, and for which event.
The first message goes out
The first text a guest receives names the host, says what the event is, gives one link on our own nvite.app domain, says how to reply, and carries the STOP notice.
The guest answers, or does not
A reply of any kind is recorded as consent to the remaining messages about that event. A guest who never replies receives at most one reminder and nothing else.
STOP ends it everywhere
STOP, or a plain-English request to stop, suppresses that number for every host on SimpleInvite, immediately and permanently, until the person replies START. The host is shown that the guest opted out and is told to share the link themselves instead.

What a guest receives
