Setting up and using a gift registry


It's easy to integrate a gift registry within your invitation or ecard web site. We have built a system that allows you to setup either a gift registry from "Changing the present" or "Amazon.com". To set this up, click on the "gift registry" tab within your invitation or ecard management space.


"Changing the present" charitable gift registry
"Changing the present" is an organization that allows you to offer charitable gifts or donations as part of your invitation or ecard. You can select up to six charitable gifts or donations from thousands of organizations that guests or recipients can choose to buy in your name. Simply click on the "Changing the present" icon in the "gift registry" tab to make your selections and enable this functionality. If we receive information about when a guest/recipient has contributed and/or which guest/recipient has contributed, we put it in the event stream under the 'event report' or 'report' tab but please note that this information is unreliable because we do not always get this information.


"Amazon.com" gift registry
If you want to offer a traditional gift registry as part of your invitation or ecard, we offer this in partnership with "Amazon.com". You need to first create an account with your local affiliate of Amazon.com (amazon.com, amazon.ca, or amazon.co.uk) and create a gift registry. Then, click on the Amazon.com icon in the "gift registry" tab and provide your name and email address. Your gift registry will appear as an integrated part of your invitation or ecard.


You can opt to offer both of these services within the same invitation or ecard if you wish.
