How can we personalise our registry?
Email us a photo of yourselves, or a picture from your wedding theme or invitations. We can add this to your Registry homepage to create a personalised experience for your guests when they login to view your gift list.

Some of our guests don’t have Internet, can they still use our registry?
Definitely! Guests can call us on 0800 900 700 and we will run through your registry with them, or they can fax or mail us their orders.

Can a guest use our registry for a gift they want to bring to the wedding?
Certainly, yes.  Your guest can follow the very simple and clear process when ordering to specify the address for us to send their gift before the wedding.

What's the difference between online and in-store registries?
We are certain The Perfect Gift is the most convenient option for both you and those who would like to give a wedding gift. Your friends and family from all over the world can visit our 24/7  e-store at their convenience, or they can phone us to place their order or receive shopping support. No gift double-ups, no faxing of scrawled lists around the country and finding store branches in other cities don't fax each other updates once a gift is chosen. You are able to see if any item is no longer in stock or discontinued and have the opportunity to perhaps choose something else. You can make changes at any time, your updates are instant. Updates when gifts are selected are also instantaneous.

What payment options do you offer?
We accept credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and Diners) or internet banking payment.  We also accept NZ cheques and manual cash deposits at BNZ bank. International guests can also pay by IMT (International Money Transfer), however their bank will have fees involved with this transaction.

When should we create our registry?
Some guests create their gift list upon their engagement, so that friends and family can access their registry to purchase gifts for the engagement or bridal shower. Alternatively, we recommend that you register prior to sending out your wedding invitations.

How should we advise guests about our registry?
We suggest you tell your immediate families and the bridal party, many guests are likely to ask them for ideas.  We can provide complementary slips that advise you have a registry with us, which include our website details and how to contact us for any assistance.  These slips can be included with your wedding invitations.  If you have chosen to create your own wedding homepage such as on www.mywedding.co.nz , include a link to your Perfect Gift registry from there.

Can we change our registry once it's made?
Yes. You can add new products or remove any item not already chosen from your registry at any time, and because our website runs in ‘real time’ as soon as you change your registry it updates straight away. Gift double-ups are avoided if all of your guests utilise your Perfect Gift registry.

What if items on our registry have been discontinued?
Yes, if a product is discontinued by the manufacturer or supplier the next time you log in to your registry a message will pop up to advise you of the change.

We are overseas or getting married overseas, can we still register?
Absolutely! The Perfect Gift online wedding registry service is ideal if you are in this situation. You can create and manage your registry from anywhere in the world and have all your gifts delivered to your NZ address. If you are marrying overseas you don't want to be hauling gifts in your luggage!

When will we receive our wedding gifts?
It's all entirely up to you! When you register with us you can specify whether you would like your gifts delivered before your wedding, after your honeymoon, or whenever suits you, and the address that you would like them to be delivered to. We have found that very often gifts are chosen right up to and on the date of a wedding - another reason why The Perfect Gift online is so convenient for guests, even it it's "last-minute" timing they don't have to wonder what to choose!  Any gifts selected for you after an initial delivery will follow later. Delivery is by courier service with receiving signature required, weekdays.

How will we know who chose which gift?
Each gift you receive has a card or label as selected by the giver attached to it. As part of The Perfect Gift service you will also receive a gift list detailing which gift was chosen by whom.

How long will our registry stay open?
Your registry will be available on the site for about 2 months after the wedding date.  If you'd like your registry closed sooner or open longer please call or email us.
