India's First Wedding Gift Registry: About Time, We Say!

Moving into a new house with your fiance and would LOVE if your family just bought you an LCD TV instead of giving you gold coins? Or are you guys travel junkies and would love to be gifted a holiday from your friends? Wondering how in the world you can get gifts you will actually use and not be stuck with mundane stuff like photo frames, cup & saucers and mixies and God forbid- roti makers! Wedding gift registry Formyshaadi is the answer for you!

How it works :

While wedding gift registries have been popular abroad with a couple setting up more than one registry at multiple stores, In India the trend is yet to catch on. Essentially you open your gift registry on a website and add all the items on it which you would love to receive as gifts. You then invite all your guests into your registry so they can see your wish list and buy you the items you chose.

Who is doing this :

FormyShaadi.com recently launched their uber classy service where you can sign up, browse through a range of gorgeously curated gifts and add them to your registry. Why we love it

• The gifts are carefully curated to suit every taste. From holidays and dining experiences to gym memberships, spa packages to home furnishings - you will find something lovely that you would love to receive as wedding gifts. We especially love the Primrose tea set from Elvy, and the luxury stay at 'Beyond by Sula".
• The "Contribute to gift" feature is awesome, a bunch of your friends can pool in to get you one big item which you have been pining for.
• "Thank you notes" keep your guests happy. Not only do you get what you love, make your guests feel special with a lovely personalised "Thank you note" from your side.
• One shot delivery is super thoughtful. All the gifts get beautifully packaged and delivered to your home in one shot, after the wedding, on the date of your choice.
