Why are my emails going to spam?
Troubleshoot when your wedding emails end up in guests' spam or junk folders.
Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan
Short answer: Email filters can be strict - ask guests to check spam, add your sender address to contacts, and mark messages as "not spam."
Common reasons for spam filtering
Email client filters:
- Automated emails often trigger spam filters
- New sender addresses are treated with suspicion
- Images and links can trigger filters
Recipient settings:

- Some providers block bulk senders

Ask guests to:
- Check their spam/junk folder
