GBWe loved it ! We honestly loved this registry. As couple who has lived together for the past five years we have acquired many of the things you would find on a traditional registry. This registry allowed us to have a place our guests could go to for gifts without ever having to go to the store. Our guests loved this option! The only downside is that they take out a fee from each gift after the person gives it. I understand there is a fee to run this service but I almost wish the guests who gave gifts knew that. I understand why they do it that way so that the guests don't have to feel like they are being charged to give a gift. So in the end I totally get it. Overall easiest and best registry experience! We would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone !

GBReliable 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.

GBunnecessary We started our registry with this site and found out it was not helpful in the slightest. If someone wanted to purchase a gift for us off of the registry, we would only get the cash for that item and we would have to go buy the gift. Any gift of money given to use, the website gets a cut. Doesn't make sense to have a middle man for no reason. Also, we had a guest sign up for a cash gift, but someone got confused that they had to actually personally give us the case....just a confusing process all around. Do not recommend.

GBService 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.

GBPerfect 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.
