I know wedding planning is stressful! Hugs Zola won't let you combine a registry created at another store, instead you just register for items their buyers have selected or you can register, item by item from brands not on their list, but then it's actually just a cash contribution (with a fee) for you to buy the item yourself. So if you are mainly looking to combine registries from multiple stores into a beautiful interface I think Blueprint is better than Zola. Note on Blueprint: looks like they have a feature to import registries you've already created traditionally with places like Bloomingdales and Target, but then you can have them organized in their rooms interface. Blueprint has an "Experiences" room, but the fee is higher than Zola's.
(I guess this opinion makes me lazy and tacky I said it for you so now you don't need to waste 5mn you could be doing something good for humanity writing me a nasty reply, ladies, God bless).
I know you can contribute to experiences with cash in a card but it's frankly more fun (with the pics, categories and specific experiences) and more convenient through the online registry. To me, with experiences I am actually contributing to something that will make the couple's relationship stronger because it is something cool they will do together, whereas I don't see how a crystal serving bowl would do that. The experience aspect: I actually preferred to contribute to the experiences on the Zola registries. Seems like that is the case for Blueprint too.ģ. Looks like MyRegistry and Blueprint let you do this, though on MyRegistry it seems like they can only do group gifting as a cash fund whereas on Zola you can turn group gifting on for physical items. The group gifting aspect: As a guest, it's great to be able to contribute to something you want for the couple but couldn't afford fully. I had worked on a travel start-up with one of the Zola brides so I gravitated towards the adventure category, one of the other Zola grooms had been my roommate and I knew he and his fiancé loved cooking so I gravitated towards the kitchen items, etc.) That way I had something personal to say in the note with the gift.Ģ. As a guest, I think it's nice to get to choose the category based on experiences you personally have with the couple (e.g.
MyRegistry looks like an Amazon page and the gifts were just organized by the store/source (Nordstrom, Zappos, etc) not by the purpose or type of gift (experience, kitchen, adventure, bedding). The interface was very well organized and pretty, the gifts are in different categories according to intended purpose for the couple. Zola does not agreements with that many stores as Blueprint does, but their completion discount is 20. As a guest, I personally preferred Zola for a few reasons:ġ. I feel a little lost with Blueprint's layout even though the by room feature is pretty cool It can also be because I do not have an account too. I had some acquaintances who used Blueprint, mainly because they were doing some serious remodeling to their home and Blueprint allows you to set up group gifts for things like cupboards and granite countertops in a way that makes sense. They said using room layouts as shopping tools paints a picture of how the gifts will fit into people’s lives, creating a little more satisfaction for the giver.Three friends have used Zola, one is using MyRegistry, and one used the traditional Williams-Sonoma and Macy's. So the two of them got to work figuring out a way to simplify gift registries. Around the same time, Ellingson was preparing to get married and managing three different gift registries. Shetty started the company in 2013 when he was trying to furnish his New York apartment and found the process frustrating. Though co-founders Shetty and Lizzy Ellingson both grew up in Seattle and graduated from the University of Washington, they met in New York City, during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Lizzy Ellingson, chief creative officer at Blueprint Registry The company currently has 10 employees, and it just moved into the Galvanize co-working building in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood. A group can go in on pricier items together, and people can also register for things like cash and travel expenses. Blueprint allows people to create registries and wish lists using shoppable room-by-room blueprints of their homes that others can use to find and buy gifts from participating retailers, like, West Elm and Crate & Barrel.
