Why modern wedding registries are still so rigid (and a fix for it)

Most wedding registries are still stuck in the 2000s—they either lock couples into a specific department store or force them to manage three different wishlists plus a separate, awkward "honeymoon pot" link.

GiftPlan.io was designed to solve this by consolidating everything into a single, beautiful page.

What makes it different:

Zero-Retailer Lock-in: You can paste a link from any shop—Amazon, Etsy, John Lewis—and it automatically pulls the product data.

Integrated Cash Funds: Physical gifts and house deposit/honeymoon funds live on the same list.

No Markup: Money goes straight to the couple via Stripe Connect. There's no middleman taking a cut of the gift value.

Group Gifting: It supports partial contributions for big-ticket items, so guests can chip in what they can afford.

It’s a clean, transparent solution for UK couples who want a registry that actually reflects how they shop today.

For the folks here who’ve been through the wedding planning process recently—did you find the existing registry options too restrictive, or was the "cash fund" conversation still the most awkward part to navigate?
