I've been receiving emails from show guests responding to invites my hosts send from my pws.

The emails are clearly meant for the host (include personal comments), but I'm getting them instead. My hosts don't seem to be receiving them.

This doesn't make sense to me...am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Kris
 
This has happened to me, as well.

I'm not sure why it happens, but if you find out, let me know!!

bumping up...anyone?
 
I am assuming that the evites are set up that if someone hits "reply" it goes to the consultant. The guests probably have no way of seeing this.
 
Have you entered the host's email address in the show set-up screen? I know if I neglect to add their email addy, I get the responses instead of them...... I'm not sure, though.......
 
That's true- if you omit the host email address, replies come to you.

BTW, folks, the term "evite" is a trademark from the evite.com site. We're supposed to call the invitations from our PWS either e-invites or email invites.

I think "evites" is going to be the new "Kleenex" ;) (PS - I call them "tissues"!!)

Aha! Thank you!!! I have not been inputting the host's email address (the result of my own pet-peeve against any potential for automatic emails).

Now I know....and now I'm going to start adding their address....especially after that rather personal rsvp response one of the guests sent this morning. :eek:

You have a very twisted definition of "perk", Kelly. :D
 

Frequently Asked Questions
