The Secret Santa email didn't arrive
Updated October 30, 2026
You don't need the email to take part. The group link shows your match too.
See your match without the email
Ask your organizer for the group link. Open it, tap your name under Who are you?, then tap Yes, that's me. You'll see who you're buying for.
Look for the email
The invite comes from Wishes (hello@wishes.app) as soon as names are drawn.
- Check your spam, junk and promotions folders.
- Search your inbox for "Wishes".
- Ask your organizer to check the email they typed for you.
If you're the organizer
Open your organizer link. If you saved the group to your account, you can also sign in at wishes.app/secret-santa and open it under Your Secret Santas.
- Share the group link. Tap Share link and post it in your group chat. Everyone picks their name, no email needed.
- Fix a wrong address. Tap … next to the name, then Resend invite. Correct the email and tap Send. The new invite goes out right away, and the link in the old one stops working.
Each address gets one invite. If the address was right and the email still hasn't arrived, share the group link instead.
Wishes sends a limited number of Secret Santa emails a day. If you see "You've sent a lot of emails today", share the group link or try again tomorrow.
Still stuck?
Send us a message and tell us what happened, or write to help@wishes.app.
