What we offer couples

Our aim at My Gift Registry is to offer couples the convenience of an online gift registry combined with the personal service and expertise of our consultants. Being an online store means that you can register and choose all of the items for your registry in the comfort of your own home and at a time that suits both you and your fiancé. We believe that your registry should not just be a necessary part of wedding plans, but should contain items which will add value to your future life together. Our personal consultants will be able to advise and assist you with all aspects and stages of the gift registering process.

The following are some of the different services that we offer to make the process of choosing and receiving your wedding gifts both easy and enjoyable:

• You can register and choose all your gifts completely online.

What we offer gift buyers

My Gift Registry offers all shoppers complete ease and convenience in buying gifts for a couple’s wedding. We remove the hassle of shopping centres, which means no more walking for hours, parking lot traffic jams and no more crowds! Because our store is online you will be able to purchase your gift whenever it suits you – at any time of the day or night and in the comfort of your own home or office. You will no longer have to agonize over selecting a gift that the couple will like because they have already chosen items to complement their taste. Another great thing about the My Gift Registry experience is that there is no chance of a gift being duplicated – there’s nothing worse than buying from a registry at a chainstore and finding that someone else has bought the same gift. The couple’s registry is linked into the My Gift Registry database and any items purchased are marked as such straight away. This user-friendly system ensures that every gift is not only unique, but is also the perfect gift.

The following are some of the different services that we offer you to make the process of buying wedding gifts easy and enjoyable:

• A categorized list of everything the couple has chosen, so you can go straight to the category you would like to purchase your gift from.

• A search feature which allows you to search for specific items in order to speed up your shopping experience.

• In order to assist you in your decision process, you will be able to see which items the couple has selected as priority items.

• Each gift will be wrapped to match the colour scheme of the couple’s wedding reception. My Gift Registry will never wrap every present identically as many physical stores are forced to do.

• Each gift will include a printed card with a personalised message from you (You can create this message in the checkout section).

• My Gift Registry offers you a choice of three different payment methods: Credit/Debit Card, Electronic Transfer or Direct Deposit.

• Gifts will be delivered to the couple’s chosen destination (usually their wedding) at a time as arranged with the couple. My Gift Registry will not deliver items to anyone except to the couple who created the registry.

• My Gift Registry will update you on the progress with your gift as it moves through our system. This is to ensure that nothing ever slips through the cracks!

• Our website offers a service whereby several shoppers can contribute toward the same gift. This will enable you to give the couple a larger gift that you might not have been able to afford on your own.

• Should you want to add a little extra to your gift or not be able to find anything you are particularly fond of, you may always give a voucher of any value to the couple. They can redeem this voucher for anything on our site for up to two months after their wedding date, giving them the amazing gift of choice.

• My Gift Registry will be available via telephone during office hours to assist you in any way. Should you be uncomfortable with the system, we will happily talk you through it, or even place your order for you from our side.

All in all, My Gift Registry will always ensure that your gifts are delivered in a professional and, more importantly, personal manner to the newlywed couple. We aim to make certain that your wedding gift shopping is simple, convenient and secure.
