How do I schedule an email for later?

Set up your email to send automatically at a future date and time.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: When composing your email, look for a "Schedule" option to set the date and time it should send.

Scheduling an email

  1. Go to Sending > Compose
  2. Create your email content
  3. Select your recipients
  4. Instead of "Send now," look for Schedule
  5. Choose the date and time
  6. Confirm the scheduled send

Benefits of scheduling

  • Send at optimal times (not 2 AM)
  • Plan your communication calendar in advance
  • Coordinate with other wedding milestones
  • Set up RSVP reminders ahead of time

Best times to send

Consider:
- Morning (8-10 AM): People checking email
- Evening (6-8 PM): After work, more personal time
- Avoid: Late night, early morning, weekends (sometimes lower engagement)

Managing scheduled emails

After scheduling:
- View your scheduled emails in the queue
- Edit content before the send time
- Cancel if plans change
- Verify it sent at the scheduled time

Tips

  • Double-check the date and time before scheduling
  • Account for time zones if guests are in different areas
  • Review scheduled emails closer to send date
  • You can usually edit or cancel before it sends
  • Set reminders to check that scheduled emails went out
