Can I set Calendar alert DEFAULT as email instead of message?

When I add something to my Calendar on my iMac and want to add an alert, is there a way to set up as the DEFAULT:

email 1 day before the calendar event

instead of the default being a message? It seems like wasted steps to always have to go down to CUSTOM, then click on EMAIL, then the time frame I want. I really prefer an email reminder.

Thanks!
