Why didn't my guest receive a confirmation email?

Troubleshoot when guests don't receive their RSVP confirmation email.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: Check spam folders, verify email addresses, and ensure confirmation emails are enabled in your settings.

Common reasons

Email went to spam

  • Have guests check spam/junk folders
  • Ask them to mark the email as "not spam"
  • Add the sender address to their contacts

Incorrect email address

  • The guest may have entered their email wrong
  • Typos in the email field
  • Autocorrect changed the address

Confirmation emails disabled

  • Check your RSVP settings
  • Make sure confirmation emails are turned on

Email delivery issues

  • Some email providers block bulk senders
  • Corporate emails may have strict filters

How to fix it

  1. Check settings: Verify confirmation emails are enabled
  2. Verify email: Check the guest's email address in your system
  3. Check spam: Ask the guest to check all folders
  4. Resend manually: Send them a confirmation message yourself
  5. Test yourself: RSVP as a test and check if you receive it

Viewing the sent confirmation

You may be able to see:
- When the confirmation was sent
- Whether it was delivered
- If there were any errors

Tips

  • Test the confirmation email before launch
  • Include key details in the web confirmation too (not just email)
  • Have a backup communication method
  • Consider following up important RSVPs personally
