What is a wedding registry?

It’s a concept that is revolutionizing wedding gifting in India.  A wedding gift registry is a way for the couples to create a list of gifts they would like to receive on their wedding, things that will actually become a part of their new life instead of being kept in a cupboard or re-gifted.

Once completed, The couple can share their registry URL with their guests, integrated with a beautiful wedding website. This helps guests know exactly what the couple wants and they can buy or contribute towards any gift of their choice.

Online platforms like www.WeddingWishlist.com manage all the logistics and deliver the gift to the couple when and where they want, so neither the couple nor the guest has to worry about carrying around the gift boxes.

The choice is endless!

Couples can add just about any gift they like to their registry, be it home appliances, gadgets, holidays, charities, gift cards or even just plain and simple cash! They can go to any online store in India (literally ANY!), choose the products they like and add them to their registry, making it pretty much like a lifetime of Christmases in one go.

  • Experiences:

As millennials move away from things and towards experiences, this is a great choice for couples. They can add holidays, spa vouchers, adventures or just about any experience they like. Guests can contribute an amount of their choice towards it.

  • Gifts

For those setting up a new home this is a great idea—gadgets, appliances, décor, silver or anything else your new home needs can be gifted to you by your guests.

  • Charity

Have everything you need already? Well, that might leave your guests stumped about what to get you. So make a difference to the world and start your new life with plenty of blessings by adding charities your registry.

  • Cash

Looking to put a deposit on a new car or a new home. Keep it simple and add cash to your registry so it can be a little extra help towards your life plans.

Gift management becomes a breeze!

A wedding registry helps manage, track and deliver gifts as per your convenience. So your guests don’t have to lug around a box on your wedding, you don’t need to worry about the safe-keeping of gifts or gift tags and you can ask for the gifts to be delivered to your new home whenever you’re settled in. And the best part? It’s all free.

Sharing etiquettes

Sometimes, couples may feel awkward sharing their wedding registry with guests. But that’s only because they aren’t doing it right! The best way to go about sharing is to start by informing your close friends and family about it, so if anyone asks them for gift suggestions, they can just direct the guest to your registry.

Another excellent way of sharing your registry is to create a free wedding website, complete with your story, gallery, function details and RSVP and integrating your registry with it. This helps guests get all the information in one go. And you can always just print the registry link on your printed cards for the guests’ convenience.
