Q: Can I set up a group message and have myself to be the only one to get responses

I often send group messages about where the group will be going to dinner, or what time an event will be held. I am the only one who needs to get responses to the group message, but everyone in the group gets all responses which is aggravating to most of the group members. Is there a way to send a group message, with me being the only one to receive responses?

iPhone 6, Other OS, iOS 8.3

Not through the built in Messages app. There may be other group messaging apps that would allow you to do that. However, everyone you message would need to have he same app installed.
