MyRegistry.com is a universal gift registry service.
Usage
MyRegistry.com operates through its website, browser plug-ins, and apps to serve as a third-party organizer alongside other online gift registry services for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and other gift-giving occasions. MyRegistry.com was notably used by Princess Madeleine, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland ahead of her 2013 wedding. MyRegistry.com also enables potential gift-givers to donate cash via Paypal rather than a physical gift. Cash Gift Funds can be created for "honeymoon funds." This function has received mixed reviews as it can be perceived to be crass commercialism counter to traditional western norms of wedding etiquette, despite having some utility to newlywed couples. Although not addressing MyRegistry.com specifically, the Emily Post Institute and others have decried both giving cash as a wedding gift and expanding gift registry beyond weddings to other occasions such as college graduation. MyRegistry.com has gained notoriety in part due to their interoperability with Pinterest.
