Build Your Dream Wedding Registry from Any Store
Why limit your wedding gift list to one or two retailers? ShareWants lets you create a universal wedding registry that combines items from every store you love — and share it all with a single link.
Why a Universal Wedding Registry Is the Better Choice
Traditional wedding registries tie you to a single department store. You end up scrolling through one retailer's catalog trying to fill a list, settling for items that are "close enough" because the store doesn't carry exactly what you want. Guests, meanwhile, are stuck shopping from a limited selection that may not fit their budget.
A universal wedding registry solves this by letting you curate gifts from anywhere on the internet. Found the perfect dinnerware set on Williams Sonoma, artisan vases on Etsy, camping gear on REI, and smart home gadgets on Amazon? Add them all to one wedding gift list on ShareWants. Your guests get a single destination with a wider range of prices and products, and you get the items that will actually start your new life together on the right foot.
How ShareWants Works as Your Wedding Registry
Setting up your wedding registry on ShareWants takes minutes, not hours. Download the free app, create a new list, and start adding items by pasting product URLs from any online store. ShareWants automatically imports the product name, photo, and price — so your registry looks polished without extra effort.
Once your list is ready, ShareWants generates a shareable link. Add it to your wedding website, include it in your invitations, or text it directly to guests. Anyone who opens the link can browse your registry, see product details, and click through to purchase from the original store.
When a guest buys a gift, they mark it as purchased in ShareWants. Other guests immediately see the item is taken, eliminating the duplicate-gift problem that plagues traditional registries. You, as the couple, do not see who bought what — keeping every gift a pleasant surprise on your big day.

Tips for Building a Great Wedding Registry
A well-curated wedding registry makes gift giving enjoyable for your guests and rewarding for you. Here are a few strategies to make the most of your universal wedding gift list:
Cover every price range. Include items from under $25 to over $200. This ensures that every guest, whether a college friend or a close relative, can find a gift that fits their budget comfortably.
Think beyond the kitchen. Cookware and dishes are registry staples, but don't forget about outdoor gear, travel accessories, home office equipment, artwork, and experience gifts. A universal registry gives you the freedom to add anything from anywhere.
Register early. Create your wedding registry as soon as you set a date. Some guests, especially those attending engagement parties or bridal showers, will want to buy gifts well before the wedding day.
Keep it updated. If you purchase something for yourselves or change your mind about an item, remove it from the list. ShareWants makes this instant — your guests always see the most current version of your registry.
Share widely. Do not assume guests will find your registry on their own. Include the link on your wedding website, mention it in your invitations, and share it in group chats with wedding party members who can pass it along.
