A wedding registry website is a single page where you collect the gifts you want and share them with guests through one link. Instead of pointing people to several stores, you build one page and send the same link to everyone. Each guest reserves what they plan to give, so nobody buys the same thing twice.
This guide shows how to create a free wedding registry website, what to put on it, and how to share it so every guest knows what you need. If your celebration is not a wedding, see how to create a gift list website for any occasion.
What a wedding registry website includes
With MyWishlist you can build a page that has:
- Gifts from any store, mixed into one list instead of separate registries.
- A page template for the look of your page, with free options.
- Guest list and RSVP, so you know who is coming.
- A message wall where guests leave notes for the two of you.
- One link and a QR code for your invitation, text messages, and social media.
- Reservations, so guests see what is still available.
How to create your wedding registry website in 4 steps
You do not need any design skill. The platform handles the layout, so you only choose the gifts and the look.
1. Create your account for free
It takes about a minute, and creating and sharing the page is free. Give your page a clear name, like "Ana and John's Wedding".
2. Add gifts from any store
Copy the link of any product you want, from any store, and paste it into your list. Name, photo, and price come in on their own. Mix kitchen, bedroom, and decor items with a few plans, like a dinner out or a class for two. Include small and big gifts so every guest finds something within their budget.
3. Personalize your page
Pick a template and write a short message to your guests. Organize gifts by room or priority. The clearer your page, the more comfortable guests feel choosing from it.
4. Share one link
Add the link or the QR code to your invitation, or send it by text. Guests open it without creating an account. When someone reserves a gift, it shows as "Given," so the next guest picks something else.
How many gifts should you add?
A good rule is two to three items per expected guest. For 80 guests, that means a generous list, and there is no limit on how many gifts you add. Mix small and big items: a registry with only expensive gifts leaves some guests out.
Tips for a wedding registry website that works
- Add plans as well as objects. Some guests love giving a dinner or a weekend away. Add them as items with a short note.
- Add the exact product link. Guests use it as a reference and can buy wherever they find the best deal.
- Share early. Send the link with the invitation so people have time to plan.
- Keep it updated. Add new gifts if the first ones get reserved quickly.
Wedding registry website vs. store registry
A traditional store registry ties you to one shop. A wedding registry website lets you add gifts from every store at once, on one page with your RSVP and messages. You get more choice, guests can shop where they prefer, and everything lives in a single link.
Frequently asked questions

Can guests RSVP on the same page?
Yes. You can build your guest list for free and let guests confirm they are coming.
Can we add gifts from different stores?
Yes. You can mix products from any online shop on one page, which is the main advantage over a single-store registry.
