Who is this style of registry for?
This registry is designed for couples who want a flexible, stress-free way to receive gifts. Whether you're just starting out or have been living together for years, our platform lets you create a registry tailored to what you actually need — not just what fits on a department store shelf.
How do I inform guests about the registry?
You'll receive a unique link to your registry page that you can share however you like — on your wedding website, in your invitations, or simply by sending it directly to guests. Many couples include a short note in their invitations letting guests know the registry exists and how to access it.
How does the money system work, and is it safe?
Guests contribute directly to your registry through our secure payment system. All transactions are encrypted and processed through a trusted payment provider. Once funds are received, they are held safely in your registry account and can be transferred to your nominated bank account at any time.
What happens if a gift isn't fully funded?
No gift goes to waste. If a guest contributes to an item that hasn't been fully funded by other guests, the partial amount is still added to your registry balance. All contributions pool together, so you'll always receive the full value of what guests have given — even if individual items weren't completely covered.
What is the minimum contribution amount?
The minimum contribution is $25. A 4% transaction fee will be added on top of your contribution amount at checkout — part of this goes directly to Stripe to cover secure payment processing, and the remainder is the Bestowed registry fee. This ensures the full value of your contribution reaches the couple.
