Store, universal and honeymoon registries, with 12+ wording examples. ![Dvir Atias](/authors/dvir-atias.jpg) Dvir Atias Founder On this page - [Step by step](#step-by-step) - [Linking the three kinds of registry](#linking-the-three-kinds-of-registry) - [Registry wording examples](#registry-wording-examples) - [Etiquette: where the registry goes and where it does not](#etiquette-where-the-registry-goes-and-where-it-does-not) - [When to open the registry](#when-to-open-the-registry) - [After the wedding: thank-yous](#after-the-wedding-thank-yous) - [Frequently asked questions](#faq) To add a registry to your wedding website, create a Registry page, write one short paragraph that says how you feel about gifts, and add a link to each store registry or fund you have set up - the registry itself lives at the store or the fund service, and your site points to it. On Eventi, the Registry page links out to any registry you use, from a department store to a universal registry to a honeymoon fund; we do not host a registry or earn anything from where you link. The page takes five minutes. The paragraph is the part people get stuck on, so most of this guide is wording you can adapt. If you have not built the site yet, the [free wedding website builder](/wedding-website) includes the Registry page as a standard section, and [what to put on your wedding website](/blog/what-to-put-on-your-wedding-website) shows where it sits among the other pages. ## Step by step 1. Set up the registries themselves first: at the stores, on a universal registry service, or at a honeymoon or cash fund service. 2. Copy the public link to each one. Test it in a private browser window so you see what a guest sees. 3. Open the Registry page in your site editor, or add one if your design does not show it yet. 4. Write the paragraph - two to four sentences, in your voice. Examples below. 5. Add each link with a plain label: the store name, or “Honeymoon fund”. One line per registry. 6. Put the Registry page in the navigation, near the end. Do not put it on the home page above the schedule. 7. Preview on a phone and tap every link. 8. When the invitation goes out - as a [WhatsApp message](/blog/how-to-send-wedding-invitations-on-whatsapp) or a printed card with the site address - the registry is one tap away without being mentioned in the invitation itself. If you are still deciding between platforms, note that a registry is a link and goes on any site: a [Zola registry](/compare/zola) can sit on an Eventi page, and the [Zola vs The Knot](/blog/zola-vs-the-knot-wedding-website) comparison covers which registry does cash funds best. ## Linking the three kinds of registry ### Store registries Each store gives you a shareable registry link or a search-by-name page. Use the direct link, not the search page, so guests do not have to type your names. If you have more than two stores, order them by where you expect most guests to shop and keep the list to three or four; a long list reads as a demand. ### Universal registries A universal registry lets you add items from any store to one list, and gives you one link. It is the tidiest option for the website: one line, one link. If you also have a store registry the service does not cover, list it separately underneath. ### Honeymoon and cash funds Cash funds are normal now and the wording matters more than the mechanism. Name what the money is for - the trip, the house, the kitchen - and say that it is optional. Link to the fund service’s page for your fund. If you would rather not use a service, some couples simply write that contributions are welcome and leave it there; guests who want to give will ask. ## Registry wording examples Gracious and standard: > Your presence at our wedding is the only gift we need. For those who have asked, we have registered at the two stores below, and anything from them would be a joy to open together. Shorter: > Having you with us is what matters. If you would like to give something, we have registered at the stores below. No gifts, please: > Please, no gifts. We mean it - we have a small apartment and a full life, and the best thing you can give us is a weekend with you in Austin. If a card finds its way to us, we will treasure it. Honeymoon fund: > We have the toaster. What we do not have is two weeks in Portugal, which is where we are heading after the wedding. If you would like to give a gift, a contribution to the trip - a dinner, a train ticket, a day on the water - would mean the world, and we will send you a photo from it. House fund: > We are saving for a home of our own, and that is the only thing on our list. If you would like to give a gift, a contribution to the house fund is where it would do the most good. Thank you for helping us build it. Charity in place of gifts: > In place of gifts, we would be grateful for a donation to the Austin animal shelter where we found Biscuit. The link is below. No amount is too small, and please do not feel you have to. Second marriage, or a couple who has everything: > Between us we own two of everything, so please come empty-handed. If you truly want to mark the day, we would love a contribution toward the trip we have been putting off for ten years. From both families, for a traditional guest list: > Emma and James are registered at the stores listed below. Gifts may be sent to the address on the invitation or brought on the day; there will be a card table at the reception. Playful: > We have been living together for four years, so we have the spatulas covered. What we are short on is adventures. If you want to give something, the honeymoon fund below will turn into a very good dinner in Lisbon with your name on it. Mixed - store and fund: > Some of you have asked, so: we have a short list at the store below for the kitchen we are finally putting together, and a honeymoon fund for the rest. Either, neither, or just a hug on the day - all are perfect. Kitchen or hobby specific: > James has wanted a real espresso setup for years and Emma has wanted him to stop talking about it. Our registry is mostly that, plus a few things for the garden. Thank you for indulging us. Destination wedding, where the trip is the gift: > You are flying to Tulum to be with us, and that is more than enough. Please do not bring a gift - it will not fit in your carry-on anyway. Your being there is the whole thing. More tone options - formal, funny, short - follow the same pattern as the [welcome message examples](/blog/wedding-website-welcome-message-examples): say how you feel, say what to do, stop. ## Etiquette: where the registry goes and where it does not - The registry goes on the website, not on the invitation. The invitation can carry the site address; the site carries the registry. - Never on the save-the-date, and never as the first thing on the home page. Guests should meet the schedule before the gift list. - One sentence about gifts is fine in the FAQ - “Is there a registry?” - with a link to the page. The [FAQ examples](/blog/wedding-website-faq-examples) include it. - Do not list prices or say how much to give. Let the registry itself do that. - If parents are hosting a traditional wedding, let them decide whether the registry is mentioned at all. ## When to open the registry Have it live before the save-the-dates go out, even if the list is short, because the first guests to visit the site are the ones who will shop early. Add to it as you go. Close nothing until after the wedding; late gifts arrive for months. The site timeline in [when to make your wedding website](/blog/when-to-make-your-wedding-website) puts the registry at the six-month mark at the latest. ## After the wedding: thank-yous Most registries record who gave what, which is the list you write thank-you notes from. Write them within three months, by hand if you can, and name the gift. For cash and fund contributions, say what it went toward: “Your gift paid for the night we spent in Sintra, and we thought of you at dinner.” The website can help here too: a short post-wedding update with photos and a general thank-you, in the place guests already know. Then write the notes anyway. Eventi links to any registry and hosts none, and we do not earn from where you link. The Registry page is part of the free site, alongside the [RSVP](/online-rsvp) and the schedule; the only paid part of Eventi is delivering invitations as WhatsApp or SMS messages with reply buttons, on the [pricing page](/pricing). ## Frequently asked questions ### Should I put the registry on the wedding invitation? ### Can I link more than one registry on my wedding website? ### Is it okay to ask for cash or a honeymoon fund? ### Does Eventi host a wedding registry? ### How do I say no gifts on a wedding website?
