A few basics… We’ve answered a few of the most common questions couples have about wedding registry lists.
What is a wedding gift registry?

The idea is to make life easier for wedding guests by guiding them towards the wedding presents you’d really love to receive. No duplicates, no waste, and no worries! Discover more about what is a wedding registry and what you can do with it.
How many registries do we need?
It is possible to combine multiple wedding registries, but this can get complicated for you, and confusing for your guests. With Prezola, you just need the one – we’ve got everything you need, from gifts to honeymoon funds and more, all in one place. Winner!
Is it ok to ask for money?
Yes, of course, it is! If you’re saving up for something special, your guests will be happy to help you out. The main thing here is to make it clear what you’ll be putting their hard-earned cash towards. Prezola gives you the option to personalise your cash funds.
So, if you’re planning an epic honeymoon road trip down Route 66, you can create separate funds for flights, car hire, motel stays, diner breakfasts and a Vegas casino fund… that’s a detour that’s gotta be done, right?!
