How do I send to one household?

Send a single email to a household rather than individual emails to each person.

Plan requirement: Standard or Pro plan

Short answer: When sending, choose household-based delivery so one email goes to the household address instead of multiple to each member.

Household vs individual sending

Household sending:
- One email per household
- Addressed to the household (The Smith Family)
- Reduces email count
- Ideal for families and couples

Individual sending:
- One email per guest
- Each person gets their own
- More emails used
- Good when each person needs separate communication

Setting up household sending

  1. When composing or sending
  2. Look for delivery options
  3. Choose Send to households or One per household
  4. The email goes to the household's email address
  5. All members are represented in one email

When to use household sending

  • Save the dates (one per family)
  • Invitations (families receive together)
  • General announcements
  • Emails where individual responses aren't needed

When to send individually

  • RSVP reminders (each person may need to respond)
  • When each guest has different information needs
  • When you want to track individual engagement

Tips

  • Set up households properly before sending
  • One member should have the email for the household
  • Check which email is associated with each household
  • Test to ensure the right person receives it
  • Guests can still RSVP individually when they receive household emails
