Cash Gift Registry for Birthdays

Stop guessing what to buy. Share a QR code and let guests contribute the amount they choose — paid directly to you.

Milestone birthdays tend to have a mixed crowd of guests who don't know the person as well — colleagues, plus-ones, distant relatives — who often struggle to pick a gift. A QR code with a couple of suggested amounts takes the guesswork out for them, and takes 'what do you actually want' off your plate.

How it works

Perfect for milestone birthdays — 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th and beyond.

Birthdays etiquette & tips

Typical birthday gift amounts by relationship

Close friends and family often give $50–$100+ for milestone birthdays (18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th); colleagues and acquaintances more commonly give $20–$40. Suggested amounts on the page reflect this without anyone having to ask.

Group gifting for a bigger present

If you'd rather guests pool money toward one larger gift instead of many small ones, say so on the invitation — a wishing well makes it easy for a group of friends to each chip in toward the same goal.

Combine it with a party fund

Some hosts use the same page to offset party costs (venue, catering) rather than a personal gift — just say so on the page description so guests know where their contribution is going.
