Shutterfly Accidentally Sent Out Newborn Congratulations Emails to a Bunch of Random Users Today



Oops, talk about an embarrassing technical glitch. Earlier today, hundreds of random Shutterfly users received an email with the subject line “Congratulations on Your Bundle of Joy”… which would have been a sweet gesture… if these people had actually had a baby recently.

It turns out the email was sent out to many users by accident, and so instead of wondering how Shutterfly knew they had just had a baby, people wondered if Shuttefly knew something they didn’t… or worse, called out Shutterfly for reminding them that they couldn’t have kids.

Here are a few of the tweets people posted regarding the incident:



                                  
Dear @Shutterfly, thanks for the email congratulating me on being a new mom, but you're behind the times. I adopted my dog 3 years ago.

Shutterfly emails: Immaculate misconception.

Shutterfly sends email congratulating me on new baby. I have no recollection of this event. I hope I didn't leave a baby at the hospital.
