How do I know how much to ask for on registry items?
Gift amounts are suggested for each item, however, you have the flexibility to customize these gift amounts according to your preferences. For instance, if an item on your registry costs $200.00, you can choose to divide this amount in different ways. You might ask for "2 gifts of $100.00" or "4 gifts of $50.00". Some items are also customizable as group gifts or a crowdfunding feature. Instead of one guest bearing the entire cost of an item, multiple guests can contribute smaller amounts to collectively cover the cost of the total amount.
