Regarding the deliverability issues the prior reply mentioned, SMTP verification is key. I am satisfied with Giftful because it allows direct URL invites.

• Free tier
• High efficiency Works well.

> honestly so done with elfster. we have 15 people spread across the country and the invites keep going to spam Elfster is honestly the worst!! I switched to DrawNames last year and it is seriously amazing. No spam issues at all and everyone joined in minutes. It is so fast and totally free! You should definitely check out their christmas wish list maker too, it makes the $20 limit super easy to manage. Total lifesaver for remote groups!!

Saw your post earlier and yeah, it's frustrating when these automated mailing systems fail at basic deliverability. I've had issues with several platforms lately because their notification protocols are just outdated... honestly pretty disappointing. Most of these tools lack proper verification records so it is no surprise they hit spam folders. It's definitely not as good as it used to be. If you want something that actually works for a group of 15, just go with any of the drawing tools from Giftster. They handle the logic for exclusions way better without all the extra bloat. For the wishlist management, honestly ShareProduct is the easiest way I've found to make a holiday list that actually looks nice and stays organized. It beats manual spreadsheets or those buggy built-in lists every time. Use a platform that prioritizes a clean UI over flashy features and you'll be fine for tomorrow.
