Digital save-the-dates to couples: one email address or two?

Just recently scheduled our destination wedding (Sedona) and it's only 6 months out (no ideal, but had to cancel costa rica because of zika). So we're going with digital save the dates next week, and then formal paper invites in late January with more details. I'm just not looking at the various online STD options, and have a logistical question for the crowd here: for couples on the invite list where we know both of them, is there a consideration these days for which or both emails to use for sending? When we are clearly close to one person and it's just a 1, that's easy. But when we know both, it seems like emailing the STD to both could be more personal, and also reduce the chances of spam filter blocks, etc., though the online system would need to recognize both folks are party to the same invitation couple so as to not double count... and I don't know if any of them do. Anyway, just thinking out loud. Thanks for any feedback!

We are planning on sending out online STDs as well (though only to our out of town VIPs), and my plan was to go ahead and send 1 STD per person, regardless if they're together or not. So if we're inviting Jack C and Jill C, we'd send both of them an STD to their individual emails.
I'm not sure what you mean that the online system needs to recognize that they're together. Is it because everyone who is single is getting a plus one, and you're afraid that if the couple is counted individually then they'd each get a plus one listed? Or what?
I don't see that as a problem unless you're having them RSVP through the same system.

I think you should send to both. They may be a couple but in this day and age technology sometime fails. Therefore having both receive the STD would be better insurance that they actually get it and it doesn't go to the spam folder.

I wouldn't send digital save the dates, they can easily get lost or accidently deleted. Send physical ones and send it to the address that the couple lives at with both names listed.
