A registry where
nobody buys the same thing twice.
A wishlist guests reserve from, sitting on the invitation they already have. Claimed presents stay on the list so everyone can see what has gone, and cash gifts go straight to whatever you already use.
Included in the $29 Event Pass · No listing fees · No cut of your cash gifts
Two lists, because couples think of them as one decision
The things to buy, and the ways to send money instead. Either one on its own is a complete registry.
A wishlist guests reserve from
Add what you would like, with a link to the shop, a photo, a price and a note if the size or the colour matters. Up to 200 items, in the order you put them in.
Reserved items stay on the list, marked
A present that has been claimed does not vanish. It stays visible with the name of whoever claimed it, because a list that hides what has gone is a list where two people buy the same toaster, each having seen a list with no toaster on it.
Held by name, not by an identity check
The name on a reservation is typed by the person claiming it. A guest reserving on behalf of a couple, a family or four colleagues splitting one present puts down who it is really from, and the registry never argues with them about it.
Two people cannot claim the same present
Claiming is settled in the database, not in the page. Two guests tapping 'I'll get this' in the same second are serialised by Postgres: one gets it, and the other is told by name who beat them to it and asked to pick another.
Cash gifts through whatever you already use
Add up to 8 links — PayPal, Venmo, Pix, Bizum, a honeymoon fund, a bank page — with a short note explaining what the money is for. Picsui does not sit between you and the money and takes no cut of it.
A reservation can be undone
Reserving hands the guest a secret link that is shown once and stored nowhere else. That link is what lets them release the present if their plans change, and a guest who has lost it asks the couple, who can free it up from the registry panel.
Who it is actually for
On the invitation, not on a separate site
The registry renders on each guest's own invitation page, under the RSVP, so it travels with the invitation you were already sending. There is no second link to remember and no registry site to sign up for, and it renders nothing at all when you have not set one up.
For couples who want money, not things
Plenty of couples want only the cash section, which is why it is not tucked behind the wishlist. Add the links, write the note, and skip the item list entirely.
For guests buying together
One person reserves the present under a name that covers everybody paying towards it. Nothing in the flow requires the payer and the person on the guest list to be the same human.
For the relative who is not on the list
A guest can forward their invitation link to the aunt who is ordering on their behalf. She reserves under her own name, and nothing blocks her for not being on the guest list.
How it works
Build the list
Turn the registry on and add what you would like: a name, a shop link, a price and a note. Links are checked as real web addresses before they are saved, so a pasted address without the https:// still works and anything that is not a web link is refused.
Add the ways to send money
Paste the payment links you already use and give each one a label. A link with no label is labelled by its own site, so a PayPal link tabbed past in a hurry still shows a button that says something.
Guests open it from their invitation
The registry sits on the invitation page each guest already has, below the RSVP. They see everything, including what has already been claimed and by whom.
Somebody claims a present
They put a name to it and get a secret link back, once. The item is marked on everyone else's list from that moment. If they change their mind, that link releases it; if they lose it, you can release it for them.
A present should never be blocked by an identity check
Every registry has to answer one question: who is allowed to claim this item, and how do we know it is them? The tempting answer is the guest list, and it is wrong. The person buying the toaster is frequently not on the list under that name, and the moment a registry insists otherwise it starts turning away money and goodwill. So a reservation here is a name the buyer types plus a secret link only they hold: the name is what the next guest needs to see, and the link is the only thing that can undo it.
Questions couples ask
Why is a reservation held by name instead of by the guest on the list?
Because the person buying the present is often not on the guest list under that name. A grandmother orders through a nephew, four colleagues split one gift, a partner buys in both their names. Tying a reservation to a guest-list identity would block exactly those people, and a wedding present should never be blocked by an identity check. The name is what the next guest needs to see; a secret link, not an identity, is what proves the reservation is yours to undo.
What stops two guests reserving the same present at the same moment?
The claim is a conditional update inside the database rather than a check followed by a write. Postgres serialises the two attempts, the second one re-reads the row the first just committed, finds it taken and matches nothing. The loser is told by name who claimed it and asked to pick another, so nobody ends up with two of anything.
Do reserved presents disappear from the list?
No, and that is deliberate. A reserved item stays visible and is marked with the name it is held under. A registry that hides what has gone is a registry where two people buy the same toaster, each having seen a list with no toaster on it.
Can a guest change their mind after reserving something?
Yes. Reserving hands them a secret link, shown once and kept only by them. That link releases the present back onto the list. It is never shown to the couple or to any other guest, so a guest who has lost it asks the couple, who can release the item from the registry panel.
Can we ask for money instead of presents?
Yes. The cash section is not tucked behind the wishlist, because plenty of couples want only that. Add up to 8 links to whatever you already use — PayPal, Venmo, Pix, Bizum, a honeymoon fund — with a note saying what the money is going towards.
Does Picsui take a percentage of cash gifts?
No. The cash section is a set of links to your own accounts. The money goes from your guest to you by whatever service the link points at, and Picsui never handles it, holds it or takes a cut of it.
Where do guests find the registry?
On their own invitation page, under the RSVP, which means the registry needs a guest list with invitations sent out. There is no separate registry website and no second link to remember, and the section renders nothing when a host has not set one up, so an invitation to a simple party stays a simple page.
What does the gift registry cost?
The registry is part of the Event Pass, $29 once for the event with no subscription and no listing fees. The same pass covers the photo gallery, the guestbook, the live slideshow and the full-resolution download.
Put the registry where guests are already looking
It lives on the invitation page each guest already has, so there is nothing extra to send and nothing extra to explain. Questions about a specific shop or currency go to Support@Picsui.com and a person will answer.
