Such a great idea This allowed us to have a honeymoon fund and building on it from the engagement to the wedding. If I didn't want something that I originally thought I did, I could cash out on it. So perfect for two houses combining and not having gone through storage prior to registering. Recommend this!

Just what we were looking for! Simply Registry is perfect for couples who want to ask for large gifts or experiences instead of smaller household items. For example, we asked for a canoe and split it into several shares so different people could contribute to one larger gift. We were also able to earmark cash for experiences, such as a fancy dinner on our honeymoon. Everything was secure and our gift money was easy to transfer into our account.

Super handy registry experience SimpleRegistry gives you all the facts straight up...except a few really important ones: 1. Probably sign up with the same email address as your PayPal account 2. Everything works in US$. If you are in the rest of the non-US$ using world (the other 96.6% of the world), you'll be wasting some money on the exchange rate. Overall, however, positive experience and made it easy for some of our overseas guests and those who couldn't make the wedding to give us a gift. I wouldn't be using it again, unfortunately. Will try to find an Australian or more flexible platform.

What you see is what you get Very user friendly and frees you from all the registry memberships and unnecessary sales pitches. We were looking to have a modest registry and linking the items we picked from various stores was easy. The ability to personalize why you wanted an item as a wedding gift helped guests connect with the couple and breaking down the items into small gifts had most of our items bought by the honeymoon! (only two left unbought out of about 13) Highly recommended!

Worked well for younger people Simple Registry was an easy way for us to avoid getting a ton of gifts we don't need (although we still got a few) and helping us pay for our honeymoon. All of our younger guests and people who regularly use technology had no problem with it, but older folks who don't have much experience in technology were just really baffled by the idea and had trouble using the site. I don't doubt this has more to do with their skills than the site, but does maybe show that not everyone is quite ready to go online with wedding registries. I'd recommend this to a friend without a doubt, but with the caveat that they'll need to walk older/non technically skilled people though it step by step.
