Getting married in Belgium
Wedding gifts and gift lists
Help guests without prescribing a compulsory amount. A gift list, contribution to a project or no gifts: explain your preference kindly.
Elian Van Cutsem, founder of Ringske
Choosing a list
Compare selection, fees, payouts, returns and what happens when a gift becomes unavailable. Include affordable choices and read the terms before sharing a link.
Requesting money without pressure
Explain what you are saving for without treating a contribution as admission to the party. Make clear who controls the account and verify the bank details before publishing.
No required amount
A gift is the guest’s choice. Explain your preference without naming a minimum or a contribution per meal. Offer different options on a gift list and decide whether gifts outside it are welcome. If a platform has fees or conditions, check who pays and what happens to unused contributions.
What information belongs online?
Share bank details, delivery addresses and personal gift notes only where you intend them to appear. Check the wedding site as a guest and test any access protection. Keep guest contact details off a public gift list. Track gifts and thank-you notes in your private planner so guests do not see each other’s gifts or amounts.
