Terrible timing, right? Demonetisation is here, money is scarce, 100 rupee notes are rare and the unending lines at ATMs only seem to stretch into nowhere. In all of this, you’ve planned your wedding. Slow claps for your life, Slow claps. Before you hit that awkward spot when guests start asking you how to actually give you their gifts, here’s a creative solution that’s certified to be easy, effortless and new: A wedding registry.

For My Shaadi is India’s premium wedding registry platform that covers top brands in India and unique experiences - all in one place so your guests can pick a gift of your choice. Now, that’s a win-win situation, if you ask us. Best replacements to money in envelopes, don’t you think?

Plus, think of the advantages here:

  • You Get To Support #CashlessEconomy

For all those who are getting married and want to support the PM’s decision, this is perhaps a great option to try out!

  •  You Get The Gifts You Want Instead Of A Ceramic Tea set Or Steel Samaan

If you were awkward about pushing your ideas on gifting onto your guests, this is a good time to not feel bad. Mommy might still do the nudge-nudge thing, but you can go ahead and pick things / ideas / experiences you like that your guests will be happy to pitch for.
  •  No lines, no queues, no money in envelopes

It’s a convenient option for your guests attending the wedding because now, there’s no stress for them or you. For My Shaadi vouchers will take care of everything!


But what should you asking for in your registry? Here are 5 ideas we think might just tick all the boxes!

Homeware & Furnishings:

Opt for a Westside Voucher that you can redeem against clothes, home décor items, furnishing etc. Perfect for building that ideal nest as you begin your new life!

Designer Accessories:

Why not? If you ever dreamt of a Gucci bag or a Jimmy Choo clutch, here’s the best way to make them a part of your life. So choose the Genesis Voucher that will make every bride cry out with joy.

Holidays and Honeymoons:

Try the  Niraamaya Kovalam, the perfect weekend getaway gift for any newly-weds. That’s right, it’s not just material ideas, but experiences you can bank on.

Dining Out:

If you’re a foodie, you can even get a meal sponsored by your guests from top notch restaurants of your choice. We’ll vote for Guppy, Sodabottle Openerwala and Shiro, if you please!

Luxury Accessories:

Who isn’t a fan of luxe watches? Pick a label you love and get it gifted. Look out for the best watch company, Ethos Vouchers to add to your registry!
