Most couples get at least two toasters. That is not a joke — duplicates are the single most common complaint after any wedding. An online wedding registry fixes this completely: guests stop guessing, you stop returning things, and everyone walks away knowing their gift actually mattered.

This guide walks you through creating a wedding wishlist on Cadou.me — from registering your account, to adding your first wish, to sending one shareable link to every guest on your list. We will also cover how to coordinate group gifts for expensive items, how the reservation system works, and the exact settings to configure so your wedding gift list works smoothly from day one.

The old hesitation — "it feels rude to tell people what to buy" — is long gone. According to The Knot's annual survey, over 90% of wedding guests expect and appreciate a gift list. Without one, they face a real dilemma: spend money on something you may not want, or risk looking thoughtless.

Here is what a well-built wedding wishlist actually solves:

Before the step-by-step, here are some of the most popular wedding gift collections already curated on Cadou.me. Browse them for inspiration — many couples start by adding a few items from these directly to their own lists:

Open cadou.me and click Sign Up. You can register with an email address or sign in instantly with your Google account. No credit card required — the platform is completely free for personal wishlists.

After registering, you will land on your profile page. This is where all your wishlists and collections will live. The URL looks like cadou.me/@yournickname — that is the link you will eventually share with guests.

From your profile, click "New Wishlist". A form opens with a few fields:

Click Save and your wishlist is created. It gets its own unique URL — something like cadou.me/@yournickname/wishlist/xK7mR2pL — which you can share right away or come back to later.

This is where Cadou.me differs from traditional wedding registries that lock you into a single retailer. You can add gifts from any online store in the world — IKEA, Zara Home, Etsy, Amazon, a local boutique, anything with a product page.

Here is exactly how it works:

Alternative: add wishes via Telegram. Send any product link to @cadoumebot on Telegram, and it saves directly to your active wishlist — no need to open the website at all. Handy when you spot something while browsing on your phone.

A common mistake is loading the registry with only expensive items. Your guest list includes work colleagues, distant relatives, university friends — people with very different budgets. A balanced wedding gift list should have:

Rule of thumb: add more items than you expect to receive. If you are inviting 60 guests but only list 25 wishes, the early birds will claim all the good ones and latecomers will feel stuck. Aim for at least 1.5× your guest count in total items.

Need inspiration? These are some of the most saved wedding gifts by real couples on the platform right now:

Once your wishlist has enough items, copy the link from your profile page. This single URL is all you need — no printed cards, no QR codes (unless you want them). Where to put it:

Guests open the link and browse your list freely — no account needed just to view it. To reserve a gift, they sign in with Google or create a free Cadou.me account (takes under a minute). Once signed in, they click "Reserve" on any item and it is instantly marked as taken. The sign-in requirement ensures each reservation is tied to a real person, preventing accidental duplicates.

Reserved items are visually marked as taken so other guests know they are claimed. Once the guest who reserved an item marks it as "Gifted", you see exactly who gave it to you. This makes it easy to write thank-you notes and keep track of what has actually been received as the wedding approaches.

Some wedding gifts are too expensive for one person but perfectly reasonable when split between five. While Cadou.me does not have a built-in money-pooling feature, couples and guests use a simple coordination approach that works every time:

This works especially well for wedding gifts like honeymoon experience certificates, a premium robot vacuum, quality cookware sets, or a weekend getaway — things that feel too large for one person but exactly right for a group of close friends.

Cadou.me has curated gift collections for every role at the wedding — whether you are shopping for the couple, looking for something for the groom specifically, or picking out thank-you gifts for your guests:

If you are building a wedding registry, it takes almost no effort to create wishlists for related milestones too — engagement party, housewarming, first anniversary. Here are the most popular event pages on Cadou.me that couples use alongside their wedding list:

A wedding registry is one of those things that takes under an hour to set up and saves everyone weeks of stress. The earlier you build it, the more useful it becomes — both for you and for every guest trying to find the right gift.

Cadou.me keeps it genuinely simple: add gifts from any store, share one link, guests sign in with Google and reserve with one click. No retailer lock-in, no subscription, no hidden costs.
