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.

Reliable and Easy Using SimpleRegistry was so easy. We were able to use pictures to give our guests a general idea of what we wanted to do to update our home. Once our celebrations were over, we clicked a button and we recieved our check from SimplerRegisty, it was that easy. I would absolutely reccommend using SimpleRegistry for anyone who is looking for something different than the usual registires.

Perfect for our wedding registry We liked how SimpleRegistry dealt only with money and we could go out and buy the items ourselves, especially because we weren't sure where we were living and now we're living in a small space that may not be able to fit everything at once. Just be aware of the small fees they charge for each contribution.

Ideal for pricey items We did a department store registry with some needed items for those who would like to purchase a gift that way. But we also wanted some way for guests, if they'd like, to contribute to a very expensive heirloom quality grain mill for the kitchen. SimpleRegistry was the ideal solution and everything went smoothly. We purchased our mill thanks to everyone's generosity! I wouldn't use this registry for many smaller items since you need to keep track of spending the money according to its designation. However, for one or two pricey items, I would recommend it!

Service Charges Ruined My Experience Maybe there's an ad-supported option you can offer customers? Just so people don't *have* to forfeit their gift money. It feels very un-gratifying to get some percentage instead of a nice whole number, psychologically. Or maybe just have a flat membership fee that the registrant pays upfront? Also, I opted for my money to be paid via PayPal. I believe PayPal also charged a fee. You should warn customers of this. I would've certainly opted for a check if I knew PayPal would skim off the top as well. Won't use your service again—or recommend it—as a result of these fees. Perhaps if you made some changes, I would. It's too bad, because the concept is good, and the service is helpful. It won't be long before a competitor solves the fee problem and steals the market. Just a thought.
