A Kado guide

A wedding wishlist to create together

A useful wedding wishlist begins with what you already own and what you want to build together. It can combine objects, experiences and personal gestures without turning the invitation into a request to buy.

Where do you start if you already live together?

Look at what you actually use before choosing new items. Ask what is missing, what needs replacing and what has no place in your home. A short, considered list is more useful than a complete household set by default.

Discuss storage space, style and care too. If you are completing a set, add the exact reference and useful quantities to the gift note.

How do you keep the list varied and coherent?

Group your ideas around a few uses: hosting, cooking, going out, travelling or keeping memories. Mix small items with larger projects without assigning budgets to particular guests.

Prices are indicative. For an experience, say what it includes and what still needs arranging. Do not promise a price or availability that you have not checked with the provider.

  • Something that complements an item you already own.
  • An experience for two, with compatible dates.
  • A personal keepsake or creation that tells your story.

How do you organise a gift from several people?

Choose an identifiable item or experience, then agree among guests who will make the purchase. A promised contribution is neither a payment nor a reservation with a retailer.

Guests should check the final amount, timing and payment arrangements between themselves. Kado helps coordinate; it does not collect money through the list. Avoid posting bank details or unnecessary personal information.

What should you tell friends and family?

A short message can thank guests for being there and explain that gifts are optional. Put detailed product references in the gift entries instead of overloading this message.

If delivery is planned, agree on an address and who may view it. A wishlist link can be forwarded, so do not distribute it widely if you have made a personal address visible. Renewing the link needs thought because previous reservations are released.

Before sharing

  • Both people have reviewed the wishes.
  • References, quantities and dimensions are clear.
  • Group purchases have a designated coordinator.
  • The message makes clear that gifts are optional.

Our wedding wishlist

These ideas are starting points, with no required brand or shop. You can edit, extend or remove them after creating the list.

  • Something for our table

    Specify the model, dimensions and how many we already have to complete a set.

  • Something for everyday life

    Describe the use and storage space without assuming we are starting from scratch.

  • An experience for two

    Add the destination or type of experience and possible dates.

  • A gift to give together

    Name a specific item or experience, then enable group contributions if you wish.

  • A personal creation

    A memory album, illustration or something homemade.

Personalise this wishlist

The template opens a form. No wishlist is created until you confirm.

Frequently asked questions

Can we suggest something other than household items?

Yes. Add an experience, outing, project or personal gesture. An idea does not need a shop link to belong on the list.

Does Kado collect contributions?

No. Contributions record intentions and help people coordinate. Payments and the purchase happen outside Kado.

Do we need a separate list for each shop?

No. One list can include links to different shops and ideas with no shop at all.
