# A guest did not receive an invitation. What should I check?

Check their address, sending status and spam folder before sending again.

Open **Manage → Invite** and find the household. Check that its email address is correct and that an invitation was actually sent. Adding or importing a household alone sends nothing.

Ask the guest to check spam and other inbox folders. If sending is paused, read the allowance message before trying again. An address that bounced or unsubscribed may not receive another bulk message.

Do not repeatedly resend to an address that is failing. Correct a typo first, or agree another way to share the guest page. Keep **Who can come** in mind: a shared link does not bypass the guest list.
