‍What is the best way to organise wedding gifts? A modern guide for couples

The perfect start to married life, powered by the people who love you.

Weddings bring people together, friends, family, colleagues and loved ones from every stage of life. But when it comes to wedding gifts, many couples and guests are left wondering:

What’s the most meaningful gift to give?
How do we avoid duplicate or unwanted presents?
Is there a simple way for everyone to contribute together?

GiftRound offers a modern answer to wedding gifting - one that gives couples flexibility, freedom and choice, while making things effortless for guests.

What is the best way to organise wedding gifts today?

For many modern couples, the best wedding gift isn’t another physical item - it’s the freedom to choose what they truly need as they start married life.
GiftRound allows couples to receive group contributions through one simple link, turning wedding gifting into a shared experience rather than a restrictive list.Instead of traditional registries, couples can use GiftRound to put contributions towards things that genuinely matter to them  whether that’s experiences, home essentials or future plans.

Why modern couples are moving away from traditional wedding gift lists

Traditional gift lists can feel limiting especially for couples who:

• Already live together
• Are remarrying
• Have established homes
• Prefer experiences over possessions
  

GiftRound removes the pressure of predefined items and replaces it with meaningful choice. Couples can decide how to use their gift whether that’s a romantic getaway via Airbnb, a memorable experience from Red Letter Days, home essentials from John Lewis or Currys or travel plans supported by an Expedia Global Hotel Card. The result? A wedding gift that actually fits the couple’s life, not someone else’s guess of what they might need or want.

How GiftRound makes wedding gifting easy for guests

Wedding guests want to give something thoughtful but they also want it to be simple. GiftRound is designed to remove friction at every step.

With GiftRound, guests get:

• One shared link to contribute
• A fully fee-free experience from start to finish
• No confusion over what to buy
• The option to give together, even when living far apart whether guests are contributing from across the country or across the world, everyone can be part of one meaningful wedding gift.

A wedding gift that feels personal even when given digitally as a group

One of the biggest misconceptions about group gifting is that it feels impersonal. GiftRound changes that. Each contribution and message becomes part of a shared story - a collective gesture of love, celebration and support as the couple begin their new chapter together.

Rather than multiple disconnected gifts, couples receive one unified expression of care, powered by the people who know them best. At GiftRound, we believe wedding gifting should feel personal so every message shared becomes part of a beautiful PDF keepsake, allowing couples to revisit the love, laughter and well-wishes that helped mark the beginning of their married life.

Why GiftRound is ideal for modern weddings

GiftRound works especially well for:

• ‍Modern couples who want flexibility

• Couples who are already established
  For those who don’t need traditional household items, GiftRound allows gifting to reflect real life.‍

Why group gifting is the future of wedding gifts

Weddings mark the beginning of a shared life so it makes sense that gifts given reflect that idea too. GiftRound turns group gifting into the foundation of a new chapter, allowing couples to decide what matters most to them, supported by everyone who cares.

It’s not about receiving “things.”
It’s about receiving choice, freedom, and intention together.

Frequently Asked Questions about wedding group gifts 

What is the easiest way to organise wedding gifts?
Using a single online group gifting link is the easiest way. GiftRound allows all guests to contribute in one place, removing complexity for both the couple and their guests.

Are group wedding gifts appropriate?
Yes. Group wedding gifts are increasingly popular, especially for modern couples who value experiences, flexibility, and shared contributions over physical items.

What if the couple doesn’t want traditional wedding presents?
GiftRound is ideal for couples who don’t want a traditional gift list, as it allows them to choose how their gift is used after the wedding.

Can wedding guests contribute from different locations?
Yes. GiftRound is designed for friends and family living anywhere, making it easy for everyone to contribute together.

What are the fees when it comes to group gifting?
Many group collection platforms in the UK promote themselves as “no-fee” or “free to use.” But when you look closely, you often find costs tucked away in the fine print or embedded in the process.

At GiftRound, transparency isn’t a feature: it’s a foundation. We believe in trust, clarity, and fairness, ensuring every penny you and your group contribute goes exactly where you intend it to. Here’s how our model works:

• No platform fees: You can start, collect and send your gift without ever paying a penny in platform fees.
• No hidden or “forced” charges: No preset tips, no unlock to spend paywalls and no deductions. You see what you give and your recipient receives the full amount.
• No fees for recipients: When your recipient redeems their GiftRound FlexCard or selects a partner retailer, they get the full value, not a reduced balance and an appropriate expiry date.

The perfect start to married life, powered by the people who love you

Wedding gifts should feel joyful, inclusive, and meaningful not stressful or restrictive. GiftRound makes it easy for couples to begin married life supported by the people who matter most, with the freedom to choose what’s right for them.
