Can I automatically send out an email on a given date?

Is it rude to send wedding save-the-date evites to multiple email addresses in the same household?

  • I am sending out my save-the-dates by email and am concerned that if I only send one save-the-date card to one email in each household it may not get viewed. Is it rude to send a save-the-date to both huband and wife to make sure it gets viewed? Help please!

  • Answer:

    I don't think it would be seen as rude at all! It really just ensures they both receive it, because unlike mail, it's easy to miss an extra email in your in-box sometimes. If they do both take notice it will be more like, Husband: "did you hear so-and-so are getting married the 20th of April?", Wife: "Yes I got the save the date too". I don't see how anyone would see that as rude or an imposition, it's just an email. One word of advice is put all the email addresses in the "BCC" field, NOT the "TO" or the "CC" field. It's really annoying to have to scroll through a whole list of people's email addresses at the top of an email before you can read it, and also, many people will not appreciate having their email advertised in every other guests' inbox. Lastly, if anyone accidentally hits "reply all" instead of "reply" to email you back with a "congrats" not every person on the guest list will get it, only you. I also wouldn't send an e-vite. As other answerers mentioned, that can easily be mistaken for junk mail, and with a save-the-date you don't really need them to reply on-line anyway, the replies are for the formal invites. Good Luck!

My husband gets all the evites for events in his family. I generally don't know about them until the day of or if I plan something ahead for the same day. Then he tells me, "Oh, we have such-and-such that day. I got an evite." It is the most annoying thing ever! I've told his family about this and that if we don't show up for an event that he responded to, it's most likely because I didn't know about it! While I've never heard of save the date emails, it's certainly a money saver for something that is largely unnecessary anyway. I say go ahead and send them to each person that is invited who you have an email address for! (Just remember that it's easier to send an email, so you're more likely to go a bit "overboard" with these. They should ONLY be going to the people you are definitely inviting to the wedding.)

I don't think it could be seen as rude. If people live in the same household, that doesn't mean they share one e-mail. For example, a friend of mine is married to a police officer who works third shift. They hardly see each other. If either of them get sent a save the date e-mail, the other might not see it until their schedules happen to overlap. Be warned about Evites, though. Half the time they end up in junk mail.

Just sticking to your question, I would send it to both the husband and wife if you have both email addresses.

You should probably send it to every e-mail address. Rather than e-vites, which seem a bit crass, why not just send regular save the dates to each household.

It's not rude,but someone might find it a little annoying.1 e-mail per household is enough,I think.
