Wedding gifts are a double-edged sword—any newlywed couple will tell you they share a love-hate relationship with them. Love, because who doesn’t dream of receiving hundreds of gifts in one go. It’s like all your birthdays rolled into one. Hate, because most of these gifts comprise of things you won’t use and have no space to store.

 

It’s almost heartbreaking to see all that time, money and effort spent on wedding gifts that will eventually be re-gifted or recycled. And that’s where the concept of a wedding gift registry becomes a game changer. It ensures that every person in a wedding eco-system comes out happy. The guest can get the perfect gift without any stress, the couple gets exactly what they want and love, and the families don’t have to go mad coordinating and safeguarding the gifts. Can’t wait to know more? Here’s everything you need to know about the wedding gift registry.

Creating a registry is pretty much the simplest thing you can do, and it’s free.

• The couples need to sign up on Wedding Wishlist and start the process by adding gifts.
• Couples can add pretty much anything they like to create their ultimate wishlist! The choice includes appliances, décor, personal care, experiences, gift cards, charities and more! In fact, now couples have the option of creating a cash registry or adding gifts from any online store in India! So that’s pretty much the entire e-commerce landscape to choose from.
• They can then add their pictures, leave a message for guests or create a free wedding website and integrate the registry in that. A website will allow the couple to not just share their registry but also inform guests about their function details, story and other important wedding information.
• Once the couple has update their details, they can share it with their friends and family. Guests can then buy or contribute towards a gift of their choice on this list and leave the rest to the registry service. Yes, it’s literally that simple.

And the advantages don’t just end there…

The gifts are delivered to the couple where and when they want!

Once a couple creates a wedding registry, they can be totally stress-free. All they have to do is let Wedding Wishlist know their delivery details and preference and the website does the rest. It tracks, manages and orders the gifts, has them delivered as per the couple’s preference and shares all the updates with them. For couples leaving for their honeymoon immediately, or settling into a new home, they can even ask for delivery a few months post the wedding.

Guests can contribute or group gift so they don’t have to increase their budget.

Most guests have a fixed budget in mind when buying wedding gifts for a couple and don’t always want to over-spend. On the other hand, a couple may want bigger gifts that don’t necessarily fit into one person’s budget. A gift registry helps bridge this gap perfectly.

 

Guests can contribute any amount they want towards a gift without having to buy the entire item themselves. When the amount is completed with multiple contributions, the couple gets the gift. If the contributions aren’t enough, the couple can either add the remaining amount themselves or choose to transfer that money to another gift.

 

Alternatively, if a group of people wants to get together to get one big gift, they can use the group-gifting feature. It allows them to chip in for a gift, but without any IOUs. So each member of the group gets a link to pay their share and when the amount is complete, the gift is delivered to the couple!
