Great way to get the things you need Simple registry made it easy for our guests to get us useful and beautiful gifts. We had a lot of guests traveling a great distance to make it to our wedding and they really appreciated not having to lug around a present.

I would DEFINITELY do it again. Great registry! Our friends and family loved the opportunity to gift my husband and me with activities, memories and unique gifts rather than another coffee pot. We were given horse back riding, jeep tours, mountain bike rentals and more! It was such a cool experience!

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!

Great service but could have taken out a lower service fee We used Simple Registry for our wedding, and it was a GREAT way for people to give us cash gifts - which we needed as we both had plenty of house items but were about to purchase a home. I loved the way they took down addresses and created a thank-you list for us. However, I thought the 3% service charge was a little high. They also sent letters to us whenever someone sent us a gift, which was unnecessary. Would have rather had a lower service charge than that extra detail.

Great but a little confusing for people We thought the experience went very well. The only negative thing that we could say is that it was confusing for a lot of people on how it works. They're not used to online cash registries, especially the older generation, and we feel that had an effect on how many people gave gifts. If there was a short video (15-30 second animation) explaining how it worked that would have helped a ton I feel
