How To Group Gift From An Amazon Wedding Registry

Amazon's Wedding Registry allows couples to register for any product available in Amazon's stores. The Group Gifting feature lets multiple people contribute to a single gift, making it easier for friends and family to pitch in for pricier items. This feature is also available for baby showers.

Group Gifting allows multiple people to contribute to pricier items

Group Gifting is a feature of Amazon's Wedding Registry that allows multiple people to contribute to pricier items. When creating a Wedding Registry, you can turn on Group Gifting for any item or change the default dollar amount for items enabled for Group Gifting. The default value is $300, but you can enter a different amount if you prefer. You can also set up Group Gifting for individual items by going to your Wedding Registry, selecting the relevant item, and turning the Group Gifting button on.

Group Gifting contributions are received in the form of an Amazon.com electronic gift card. These gift cards cannot be transferred to another account, returned, or refunded, except as required by law. You can redeem the gift cards to your Amazon balance and use that balance to purchase the item. It's important to note that items with Group Gifting contributions won't ship until they are purchased by the registry owner.

As a Group Gifting contributor, you can browse the Wedding Registry and select "Contribute" or "View purchase options" next to the gift. You can then enter the dollar amount you wish to contribute (with a minimum of $1) and proceed to checkout. It's worth noting that once an item is fully funded, you won't be able to contribute to it anymore.

Group Gifting is a convenient way to allow friends and family to contribute any amount towards items in the registry, making it easier to afford those pricier items on your wishlist.

Only the primary registry owner can redeem contributions

Amazon's Group Gifting feature allows friends and family to contribute any amount toward items in your wedding registry. Each Group Gifting contribution is received as an Amazon.com electronic gift card.

Only the primary registry owner can redeem Group Gifting contributions. To do so, the owner must first select "Apply to your balance" and then select "Add to Cart" and proceed to checkout. Until the contributions are redeemed, the balance cannot be used to purchase an item.

The price of an item is subject to change and is only confirmed when the order is placed. If the price of an item is less than the amount contributed, the remainder is applied to the primary registry owner's Amazon.com balance. On the other hand, if the price of an item, including taxes, shipping costs, and any applicable fees, is more than the contributed amount, the registry owner must pay the difference.

The displayed price for an item enabled with Group Gifting is higher than the prices listed on the detail pages of these items. This is because there is a 10% charge applied to cover any sales taxes. If the sales tax calculated is less than the 10% charge, the difference is applied to the primary registry owner's Amazon.com Electronic Gift Card balance. If it's more, the registry owner must pay the difference.

It is important to note that Amazon.com electronic gift cards cannot be transferred to another account, returned, or refunded, except as required by law.
