Could use advice on huge marketing mistake I just made

So in attempting to build up my buyers list as I help my parents market their business directly to homeowners, through utilizing my FB network of real estate contacts I exported all of my email, about 950 in all, and sent out 4 emails of about 250 names.

I've never done this before so had no idea about the Bcc and stupidly just assumed it sent them like an individual email. Instead I see this huge space of emails/ nemes in the To field. It being late I have only received a few responses. Only one of those remarked on my blunder though she was very polite about it.

The only comfort in this is that my social network is made up of mostly professionals with 50-400 mutual friends per person. However, that's still not very comforting and I feel horrible.

How should I handle this tomorrow with what I'd imagine will be ome very angry responses? Thank you for any feedback, and yes I know that was very stupid and feel like a complete jackass already.
