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:
- Guest's email client may be aggressive
- Corporate emails have strict filtering
- Some providers block bulk senders
​

How to improve delivery

For you:
- Use a consistent sender address
- Avoid spammy language in subject lines
- Don't send too many emails too quickly
- Include text content, not just images
​

Ask guests to:
- Check their spam/junk folder
- Add the sender address to their contacts
- Mark your email as "not spam" when found
- Whitelist the sending domain
​
