Total n00b to email marketing. Wondering what social shares an email should have

Hey, this is my first time posting on Reddit :)

I am working on a side project with my brother (a website that will launch in the summer next year) and we will be sending out our first email in a week. I have signed up to SendGrid to send the emails as their templates seemed to be the most intuitive from all the sites I tried. We have a small list of subscribers that we have gathered through the coming soon page on our site. We are aiming to grow our list in time for launch (of course).

I have put links to our social media accounts in there. The email contains the first reveal of what the company is and I was wondering if you guys think it would be worth putting social media share buttons in the email? So then people can share the information in the email with their followers. Or if they should just forward the email to their friends if they think the information is valuable. The email is a mix of text and graphics. Thanks!
