A wedding wishlist that isn’t locked to one store
Store registries push their own catalogue. A free wishlist lets you mix the good knives from one shop, the tent from another and a honeymoon-fund link, and guests reserve without creating yet another account.
- Items from any store, plus “experience” items you type by hand.
- Guests reserve or mark as bought in one tap. No registry login for grandparents.
- Quantity per item: six wine glasses can be reserved by six different guests.
- After the wedding date, see who gave what for your thank-you cards.
Tips from people who did it
Price spread matters more here
Wedding guests span budgets widely. Aim for a third of the list at modest prices so every guest finds something without stretching.
Group gifts
For the big item, write in the note how guests can chip in: a shared payment link, or “ask Anna, she is coordinating”. We never hold money, which keeps it simple and safe.
Put the link on the invite
Copy the short link onto the invitation or the wedding website. It stays the same even when you edit the list.
Questions
Is this a wedding registry?
It works like one, minus the store lock-in and fees: you list gifts from anywhere, guests reserve, purchases happen directly at the shops. We never handle payments.
Can guests see who else reserved what?
No. Guests see only whether an item is still available. You, the couple, see nothing until the day after the wedding, when the list reveals who gave what.
How do cash or honeymoon funds work?
Add an item like “Honeymoon fund” with a note pointing to your own payment link. Guests mark it as gifted so others know. Money never passes through secret.gift.
Is it really free?
Yes. Unlimited items, unlimited guests, no premium tier for the basics. Some store links earn us a small affiliate commission at no cost to you.
