Frequently asked questions

Firstly, it's important to know that you'll be browsing the couple's gift requests on Marriage Gift List, but you won't be buying directly from us.

When you click on a gift you would like to buy for the couple, read the instructions carefully and take note of their delivery requirements. Proceed to the retailers website when you are ready to purchase.

On the retailers website add the gift to your basket and head to the checkout. Remember to use the delivery details as mentioned before and pay for the gift on the retailers website.

Here's the important part… return to the couple's gift list and a purchase confirmation box will appear. You will then need to complete the form to mark the gift as purchased.

Marriage Gift List simply passes you on to the retailers website. We'd love to help but we are not responsible for any of the gifts purchased.

When you purchase a gift from the retailer, then the agreement is between yourself and the individual store. We are unable to intervene. If you have any problems with the gift, please contact the retailer directly.

Please note:
When you "mark the gift as purchased" on the couple's gift list, this is not a proof of purchase. You pay for the item on the retailers website, and you should receive a receipt from them via email for proof of purchase.

The shipping address will appear at the top of the couple's gift list and in the pop up of your chosen gift. Simply copy and paste the address when you go through the checkout process on the retailer site.

If you plan to give your gift in person, then ship the gift to your own address instead.

Don't worry, you can undo this in no time. Look for an email from Marriage Gift List with the subject "Your Thoughtful Gift for [Couple's Names]" (it may appear in your spam folder).

Then simply click the edit your purchase button. You will see the item and at the bottom a link saying "Remove this purchase". Click the link and it will be available on the couple's list again.

If you don't see the email in your inbox, let us know and we can resolve it for you: support@marriagegiftlist.com. Please state the couple's surnames and the item in your message to us.

Select the gift on the couple's gift list. A pop up will appear, click the "I understand, visit retailer" button and you will be transferred to the retailers website in a new window. Don't worry, you won't need to buy the item again. Simply go back to the couple's gift list and you can tell the couple you have paid for the gift. Complete the form and confirm your purchase to mark the gift as fulfilled.

Unfortunately that is not something we can arrange.

If you know another guest attending the couple's wedding, you can always contact them and arrange to share the cost of the gift between you. Just make sure one of you marks the gift as purchased on the gift list.

To keep it simple you would want to add all of your items to the same shopping cart so you can go through the checkout process once (which may save on shipping costs).

To do this, click on the first item you would like to buy and proceed to the retailers website. Add the gift to your shopping cart and head back to Marriage Gift List and click the button "Yes, I have paid". Complete the form and confirm to the couple that you have purchased.

You can then select the next gift from the same retailer and proceed through to their website again. Add the gift to your basket and you will see that your previous gift will be waiting in your basket. Repeat the steps of confirming your purchase to the couple and once you have added all of the gifts you would like to buy you are ready to checkout.

It's important that you mark each gift that you purchased as fulfilled. We don't want the couple's receiving any unwanted duplicates.

Yes! However we do not handle the money ourselves. There are multiple ways the couple can request cash through their gift list, so it really depends on how / if they have done this.

We find the most common route is through PayPal. You can go to their paypal.me link just like you would with any other gift on their list. After you have sent cash to the happy couple, head back to their gift list to mark your gift as fulfilled.

Alternatively you can always go with the more traditional route and pair your cash with a card to bring with you on the big day.

Marriage Gift List is different from traditional gift list sites because we're not owned or operated by any retailer. Instead of buying items from us, we'll send you to third party retailers online to buy there instead.

Our goal is to give customers an open platform with the ability to add products from any store they like, while giving family and friends a quick and easy experience to purchase them. Our website is completely free to use and there are no hidden fees.
