Fewer things you don't need. One you'll actually use.

Yes. There's no fee to create your wedding gift list and no fee for your guests to contribute. 100% of the money your guests contribute goes towards your wedding gift. There are no set-up fees, contribution fees, tips or charges to unlock your collection. The one exception is set out in the GiftRound terms: if a collection is used for a cause, charity or campaign, or shared beyond a private group, it may be suspended and contributions returned less a 10% administration fee.

Share your wedding gift list link with your guests. They open it on their phone or computer, choose how much they'd like to contribute, add a personal message if they wish and pay securely online. They don't need to create a GiftRound account to contribute.

No. Instead of a traditional list of individual products, your guests contribute towards one shared wedding gift. That means you don't need to predict which plates, towels or toasters you'll still want by the time the wedding arrives.

The full amount your guests contribute goes towards your wedding gift, which is provided as a John Lewis gift card through GiftRound's gift card process. After your list closes you have 6 months to claim your gift. As a general GiftRound FlexCard rule, gift cards are usually emailed within 24 hours of a valid request on a business day, or up to 48 hours at weekends and on public holidays. See the full GiftRound terms for details.

Your wedding gift list has its own link to share privately with your invited guests, friends and family, for example on your wedding website, in invitations, by email or in a WhatsApp group. It's designed for a private group, so please don't post it publicly. Guests can contribute from the UK, the Republic of Ireland and other countries supported by our payment provider, Ryft.

The Original Wedding Gift List is operated by Gift Round Limited, the company behind GiftRound. GiftRound has been helping people collect together online since 2018 and provides the technology and payment journey behind The Original Wedding Gift List, which runs under the GiftRound terms. Gift Round Limited is registered in Scotland under company number SC515352.

Contributions are processed securely by Ryft Pay Ltd (trading as Ryft), GiftRound's payment service provider. Card details are handled by Ryft and are not stored by GiftRound.

Yes. Guests can leave a personal message when they contribute, so your wedding gift list becomes a record of the messages as well as the contributions you receive.

Each guest can contribute from £1 up to £250. A collection can hold up to £3,000 in total. If you expect to go beyond that, email support@giftround.co.uk before you start.

No. The Original Wedding Gift List does not offer cash withdrawal. This is part of how the service can remain simple and fee-free. Instead, the full amount collected is provided as a John Lewis gift card, so you can choose what you want afterwards.

A list can accept contributions for up to 60 days from when it's created. You can set an earlier end date and extend it later, but not beyond 60 days. So it's best to create your list when you're ready to share it. Many couples do this when invitations go out or a few weeks before the wedding.

That's exactly what The Original Wedding Gift List is designed for. Instead of asking guests to choose individual household items, everyone can contribute towards one shared gift, giving you more flexibility and keeping things simple for your guests.
