Your guests can purchase gifts directly from The Gift Network, keeping the process organized and easy for both you and your guests. We have a better selection, finer retailers, and a simpler process than any other registry. Register Now!

    How much control do I have over what people see on my registry?
    You can hide products from your registry and make them visible at a later date. We realize that many people make registries for their engagement party, bridal shower and wedding, so if you come across an item for your wedding that isnît appropriate for your engagement party registry, simply hide it until after the engagement party and then make it visible for purchase.

    What if there are certain gifts I want more than others?
    The Gift Network is the only registry that allows you to list your gifts in order of preference. Want that sectional sofa more than a 40-piece silverware set? Go ahead and say so. We enabled this function to ensure you get what you really want. Register Now!

    How will I retrieve my gifts?
    You have several options. You can pick them up, organize delivery directly with one of our store partners, or use our white glove courier service (fees apply).
