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!

Great service Great service, easy to use. My only complaint would be that we did not receive notifications from everyone who purchased a gift. We had no idea how many people had actually utilized the service until we logged in after the wedding.

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.

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.

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!
