What is a “group gift?” What happens if I contribute to one?

Couples frequently mark a big-ticket item or a cash and honeymoon fund as a “Group Gift” to let you contribute any amount you wish towards it.

To contribute to group gifts, look for the “Contribute to Gift” button on the couple's registry. You’ll add the amount you wish to contribute to your cart (see below), then proceed through checkout. We’ll notify the couple of your contribution, just as we do any other gift.

If a group gift isn't 100% funded by the couple’s wedding date, the couple will still receive the full value of your contribution.
