Create your own groups to have a pre-defined set of people to send a message to quickly.  When you create a message the groups will be available under Messages > Groups when you select recipients for your message.

Groups are great for things like:

• Sports
• Clubs
• Allergies
• After-school Groups
• Residence Halls
