FAQ – WEDDING REGISTRY

We all live busy lives, your guests are no different. It’s important to provide your guests with the most accessible option available – with the ability to pay with a credit card in a seamless transaction, user-friendly service on a mobile device, and knowing that their gifts will truly help you. Your guests will love it!

You will have to fill up a few details about your wedding to help us set up your registry, then you can start building your cash fund registry.

More and more getting married couples are now requesting cash for their wedding gifts. Overwhelmingly so, because they’re paying for their weddings, and want to avoid receiving too many blenders, coffee makers, and the likes of the same kind.

Many of you are now paying for your wedding. This cuts into your honeymoon budget or downpayment for that condo. By using a cash fund registry, once you send out the invitations, your guests can start contributing to your funding goals. With a steady stream of cash contributions, it can relieve you of that financial pressure many couples experience leading up to the big day.

You will feel so organized by having your wedding details, cash fund registry and guests Rsvp’s all in one place! This allows you to creatively and tastefully ask your guests for cash gifts without the price guilt. Your guests will love and embrace the thought that their gifts will truly help you start your new beginnings.

You can track the real-time progress of your registry as guests contribute in the registry section of your wedding website, guests’ names and the amount of their contributions are displayed. *Guests have the option to display their names or stay anonymous. You will also receive notifications on your BridalPod account every time a contribution is made.

Collecting and safekeeping 200+ envelopes full of cash are tasks that you don’t want to be dealing with on your wedding day. No security and peace of mind there. With Cash Fund Registry, you can be assured that all your cash gifts are well accounted for and securely transferred to your bank.

Family and friends that will not be able to attend your wedding can also send their love. Our Cash Fund Registry securely accepts international transactions.

BridalPod keeps everything streamed line for you from tracking guests RSVPs and their cash gift contributions. It’s a way to ease the minds of your guests into the idea of cash gifts and makes it easier for you to receive them. Do we say more? You’re welcome!

Yes, absolutely! BridalPod’s Cash Fund Registry is available to all registered members nationwide. You will need to provide a local bank account to receive the fund transfer.

We highly recommend that you use your real first name and last name when you create a registry. This would help verify your account. It will be easier for your guests and assure them as well that they have the right registry.

Funding goal gives your guests ideas about what you plan to buy or where you plan to spend on with the cash gifts after your wedding. It’s a creative way to tell your guests how much you need, where you plan to spend or what you plan to buy with your cash gifts without the price guilt. It’s a fund goal where your guests can contribute with any amount of their choosing. 

We have curated five (5) funding goal ideas available for you to use.

• home appliances
• home furniture
• travel & leisure
• resort & hotel
• home investment (condo downpayment).

It’s very simple! Select and add funding goal to your Cash Fund Registry from our curated list.

It depends on how much you think your total goal is. A funding goal has options that start from P25K up to P100K. If you added all these funding ideas to your cash fund registry (which you can!) the most goal you can set is at P500K.

Each funding goal can start from P25K to P100K.

Funding is one (1) at a time. You choose the order in which you want them to get funded. Your guests can start contributing to the goal that is currently in progress (“Running”). When a goal is fully funded, the next goal in the queue will appear as “Running”. The funded goal will then be labeled “FUNDED” while the other goals waiting to be funded will be labeled “IN QUEUE”.

Absolutely! You can add, delete, and rearrange the order (queue) of your funding goals except for the goal where contributions are in progress.

It’s simple. Simply delete it as long as a contribution to that funding goal has not started yet.

Simple. You can share your Wedding Registry with your Wedding Website’s URL on your social media accounts or send it to your guests thru email.
