How Zola Lets You Add Items Post-Wedding

Zola is a wedding registry service that allows couples to register for gifts, experiences, and honeymoon funds. Couples can add gifts from any store and share a single link with guests. Zola also offers a 20% newlywed discount for six months after the wedding on any items remaining on the registry. The platform provides one-on-one support and exclusive collections to help couples choose the right gifts for their needs. In addition, Zola enables couples to create cash funds with zero fees for various purposes, such as honeymoons or house down payments. Couples can also add other registries to their Zola wedding website, providing a convenient shopping experience for their guests.

Adding items from other retailers

Zola offers a 20% post-wedding completion discount on all eligible merchandise on your registry for six months after your wedding. You can use this discount as many times as you like during this period.

You can also add gifts from other retailers to your Zola registry. To do this, visit 'Edit Pages' under 'Website' and click on the 'Registry' page. From there, find and click on the 'Add another registry' button. Follow the prompts to enter the name of the store, the registry's website address, and any additional notes. This will then appear as a link on your website.

If you're using the Zola app, tap into the 'Website' icon on the home screen, scroll down and tap into the 'Registry' page, and then tap the 'Add other registry' option. You can then add the name of the registry, a description, and a direct link to that page.

Using the Our Most Wanted tool

The "Our Most Wanted" tool is a badge that you can add to any of your gifts on your Zola wedding registry. It is a way to highlight your top registry picks so guests know what you want the most (and are more likely to purchase).

To use the "Our Most Wanted" tool, go to your Manage Registry page and click on any gift to edit it. Then, simply check the box next to "Our Most Wanted" so guests can see what's at the top of your wish list. When you mark a gift as "Our Most Wanted," it will automatically move to the top of your registry. However, you still have full control over where items appear and can easily drag and drop gifts to different locations.

Zola recommends keeping your most wanted gifts at the top of your registry so your guests can easily see the picks you really want. This tool is especially helpful for guests as it narrows down their search for the perfect gift. They can purchase these gifts just like any other gift on your registry by adding them to their cart and proceeding through the checkout process.

Remember, you can always add and edit gifts on your Zola registry at any time, even after you've made it visible to your guests. You can also take advantage of the 20% Newlywed Discount after your wedding for six months on any items still on your registry.

Creating cash funds

When creating your cash funds, it is recommended to split large funds into smaller, more specific funds. For instance, instead of a general honeymoon fund, you can create funds for airfare, hotel stays, romantic dinners, or activities like snorkelling or scuba diving lessons. This approach makes the process more personalised and allows guests to feel connected to your plans.

To add a cash fund to your Zola registry, you can follow these steps:

• Log in to your Zola account and access your wedding registry dashboard.
• Look for the "Add to Registry" or "Edit Registry" button and click on it.
• Select the option to add a cash fund.
• Provide a title and description for your cash fund. For example, if you are creating a fund for your honeymoon, you can title it "Honeymoon Fund" and describe how you plan to use the money, such as airfare, accommodation, or experiences.
• Set the amount for the fund. You can choose to let guests contribute any amount they wish or specify fixed contribution amounts.
• Upload photos and add notes to personalise your fund and delight your guests.
• Review and confirm the details of your cash fund.
• Save and add more funds if needed.

Once you have created your cash funds, guests can conveniently browse and contribute through your registry page. They can use their credit cards, PayPal, or Venmo to contribute to your funds. You will be notified each time you receive a contribution, and you can choose when to transfer the funds to your bank account.

Zola's cash funds feature provides a simple and effective way to manage your wedding finances, giving you the flexibility to fund anything you want for your special day.

Group gifting for expensive items

Group gifting is a feature offered by Zola that allows multiple guests to contribute to a gift, making it easier to afford more expensive items. This feature is a win-win for both the couple and the guests. The couple can choose any item they want, regardless of the price, while the guests can contribute according to their budget.

Here's how it works:

• When creating your Zola registry, you can turn on the group gifting feature for any item. This includes big-ticket items for the home, newlywed cash funds, and even charity funds.
• Guests can then contribute to the group gift through the normal checkout process, using their credit cards.
• If a group gift is fully funded, you can choose to ship it or convert it to Zola store credit. If it's not fully funded, you'll receive the amount gifted as store credit.
• You can also choose to receive the cash equivalent for a gift if you prefer to allow multiple guests to contribute.
• High-quality cookware: A Le Creuset Dutch oven, a Breville espresso machine, or a Vitamix blender are all great options that the couple will love using.
• Dining and kitchenware: Think premium wine glasses, such as the Zalto Denk'Art Burgundy Glass, a gorgeous wood cutting board, or a full set of champagne flutes to celebrate with.
• Home furnishings: Comfy furniture, such as a mid-century sectional sofa, a luxurious cashmere throw blanket, or a set of plush bath towels are all great choices.
• Outdoor entertainment: If the couple loves spending time outdoors, consider gifting them a fire pit, a smokeless outdoor stove, or even an outdoor pizza oven for fun pizza nights.
• Electronics: From a wireless security camera to a robot vacuum, these gadgets can be pricey, so group gifting is a great option.
• Travel: Luggage sets or contributions towards honeymoon funds are also popular group gift choices, especially if you want to give the couple a symbolic gift to mark the start of their new journey.

Remember, with Zola's group gifting feature, you can make any item a group gift, so feel free to get creative and choose something that the couple will truly love and use.
