Good simple site It was easy to set up, easy to retrieve the payments. The browser link was also simple to work with I dont know how hard was it for our guests to set up the payments so can't comment on that. I guess one addition that you can incorporate is to actually buy the stuff linked with money allocated, though I guess that would require additional prod dev on your side. Its just a thought.

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.

Satisfied customer SimpleRegistry worked well for us. We found it easy to use and manage as well as fun for us and our loved ones. If the need were to arise for someone I would recommend this site. My one concern would be there are too many mailed items. Perhaps I could have changed that option and chose to not receive anything in the mail but in my opinion that is what the default option should be. Instead we received a lot of unnecessary physical mail as I was also emailed with notifications as appropriate. This is the only thing that I can think of to critique. Thanks.

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.
