Building a fundraising registry to help the poor children in the city was done without much of a hurdle with Our Wishing Well. Rather than managing lots of cash and getting hassled, it was a secure alternative where we were able to attain an option to arrange all the funds that were donated by many for the good cause. Without worrying about storing so much cash securely, we could concentrate solely on the purpose. Thank you Our Wishing Well!
Partial success at best. What I didn't need leading up to the wedding day was guest complaints direct to me, for a system that was slow to respond and consistently didn't work. I opted for a 6% fee structure and was NOT HAPPY with the overall 13-14% gouging that took place... Richard - Sydney 28-10-2018
I and my fiance are both freelance professionals who have to move around a lot. As we don’t have any specific place to call home for a long period, we were worried once we decided to get married thinking what our guests would feel if we didn’t carry their gifts along. That’s when the idea of setting an online wedding registry cropped up. We were lucky to have found OurWishingWell.com for the purpose.

Terrible. The fees are too high, and also, I specifically wanted to use an internet registry to ensure that we didn't have to do a formal registry. Of course, I found out a month after my invitations had gone out, that the site had created a huge registry filled with expensive gifts that I nor my fiance had picked out. Ridiculous!
I just had to go back and delete all the ridiculous items they made it look like we choose for our registry. Don't use this site. It's terrible, just have friends and family give you checks.
We created a fundraising registry for our NGO on OurWishingWell.com and what a huge difference it made! Without sticking our hands out for monetary contributions, we were able to raise almost double the amount that we had initially planned for, and all our contributors asked us to keep using this mode as it was quick and hassle-free for them to send us the money.
Developing a fundraising registry for empowering poor women in the locality with Our Wishing Well was probably one of the most organized ways to handle all the cash that we have ever received. Earlier, we found it hard to manage the responsibility of preserving cash securely and managing such a huge event simultaneously. With Our Wishing Well, it was a cakewalk. We could manage the cash inflow and concurrently, optimize our efforts to the fullest.
I have used the honeymoon registry of our wishing well. And I must say their services are very nice. I found this very cheap as compared to other registries available. My wife and I had a great experience with their services. It is easy to manage and access. As they provide the services online we can easily use the registry from anywhere we want to. I admire their services very much. One like for it.
They describe their fees as being 'small'. But here is how it REALLY breaks down:
When the gift giver 'buys' you a gift, the total is first knocked down by 3.5% for credit card fees.
Then for anything less than $500, the site takes 5%.
Then, when it comes to withdrawing your money, unless you have taken in over $20,000, you get hit for ANOTHER 5%.
So in total:
3.5% + 5% + 5% = 13.5%.
The concept is great, but it is a total ripoff. I wish we had asked for envelopes with money.
The site allows you to send money to the bride- and groom-to-be so that they can use it for whatever they wish. It is a cash present that woul be designated to a list of items that they wish to purchase if they had the money for it. The only issue is that in order to give them $50 you are stuck with a $4+ fee from the site itself and a service charge from your card company on top of it! Makes you think that you would rather give them cash at the actual wedding reception or use other perks or gift cards that can be free! Why pay $56 to give $50... that is $6 you are just giving away to someone else!
When we decided to tie knot at a ripe age, we started looking for a wedding registry that would be different from typical registries that ask for "Honeymoon Fund" or ask us to identify every piece of furniture we would buy. OurWishingWell.com gave us the ideal solution by allowing us to customize our wedding registry to exactly what we needed and wanted.
Creating a fundraising registry to empower the girl child in and around our locality was a breeze with Our Wishing Well. Rather than handling loads of cash and feeling stressed, it was a welcome break where we were able to get a secure alternative to organize all the funds that our well-wishers donated for the cause. Thanks a ton, Our Wishing Well!
My marriage was scheduled and I was quite confused about setting up a wedding registry or not. On my fiance advice I decided to set one up for us. The best thing which I liked about our wishing well was that things are very organized and not cluttered. The best thing I liked about our wishing well was that it provided me the opportunity to add variety of items from different stores in my wedding registry. Another thing I liked the most was a convenient payment option. It's been close to 6 months since I got married and I got everything which I listed in my registry. Thank you our wishing well for the awesome service.
Our wedding was around the corner and we were planning to set up a wedding register for our friends and family. I had no clue about wedding registers as I had never created or used one. However, on my fiancé advice I visited our wishing well. I was quite amazed with their service and ease of making a gift registry. I got the option to list all the things I needed most for my marriage as we didn't have much household things. The gifts I received on marriage were all the things truly required by us. It was a great experience using our wishing well for our wedding registry.
We were planning to organize a fundraising campaign for our school. However, the last campaign failed and we were quite skeptical about starting it again. Then came wishing well for our rescue. We set up an online gift registry for anyone donating to the school. Initially it was slow to pick up but soon we got enough donations for the school that it zoomed past our expectations. Thanks to our wishing well that were able to generate funds for the school by making it a global appeal.
Partial success at best.
What I didn't need leading up to the wedding day was guest complaints direct to me, for a system that was slow to respond and consistently didn't work.

This was my second marriage and I wanted to set up a honeymoon gift registry. I had set-up a wedding gift registry in my last marriage and was trying to do something different his time. After deciding the destination with my fiancé, I went ahead to create the registry. There were so many options to choose from like dinner at an exotic resort, scuba diving, spa at a luxury salon and much more. Thanks to the Our Wishing Well honeymoon gift registry, I was able to do all the things which I always wanted to do on my honeymoon
Huge Ripoff! As my time on the site comes to a close, I'm quite disappointed. I definitely do not recommend it. The main reason is that the fees are astronomically high. For each gift we received, 8% was taken from the gift (5% from the site and 3% from the credit card company.) Then when we went to withdraw funds, another 5% was taken out of our total amount. This brings the total to 13% fees. If my wedding guests had known that only $87 of every $100 that they gave us was going to go to us, they would not have used the site to give us a gift, and would have just given cash. In fact, I'm embarassed to share with them, that I made such a poor financial decision as to use the site.
To celebrate the birth of our first-born child, we set up a baby registry at Our Wishing Well, because we wanted to give our guests a hassle-free way of making contributions by way of gifts, even for those who were living away and couldn’t attend the celebrations in person. It was a big hit with our guests, and we loved how easy it was, more so because we no longer had to handle piles of gifts and envelopes full of cash. Thank you Our Wishing Well for making our event a grand success
On our extensive hunt for the best online gift registry, my fiancé and I landed at the website of ourwishingwell.com gift registry. They have a brilliant collection of gifts to suit all price ranges. Every experience of registering, creating a wish list according to our taste, and receiving the gifts on time was a pleasurable experience in our wedding journey and brought us closer to each other. Thanks a ton
I had a great experience using ourwishingwell.com for a recent event. It was super easy to use for both the host as well as the guests. When I had a question, the company responded quickly and was pleasant to deal with. Very professional, secure, and trustworthy. I will use it again. Highly recommended!
I was 7 months pregnant and was excited by the fact of becoming a mother in the next 2 months. My mother was planning to organize a baby shower party for me and asked me to create a gift registry for the same. I was not sure about the idea but decided to give it a try. Creating a gift registry at our wishing well was a pleasure. They had so many options and so much to add in the gift registry. I almost added everything I needed for my baby. It was a sheer joy creating a gift registry in our wishing well.
Ourwishingwell.com is very user-friendly and is quite easy to set up. I wanted to gift my sister and her husband a trip to Paris for their honeymoon. I had joined hands with my parents and one of my sister's friends to organize this gift and ourwishingwell.com made the entire experience very simple. I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks for helping us to gift her one of her lifetime gifts.
Cape Town is one place I always wanted to go. However, the opportunity had eluded me till now. For honeymoon destination, Cape Town came out to be the favorite destination of both of us. We decided to set-up a honeymoon registry at Our Wishing Well as I friend of mine had already done that and was quite impressed with their services. Setting up a honeymoon registry at Our Wishing Well was fun as we had so many options to choose from and also had the opportunity to bifurcate the expenses into different categories. I had the best trip of my life and our honeymoon was awesome. I can happily refer our wishing well services to anyone looking for gift registry options.
My school friends and I were always interested in doing something extraordinary for the society. So, we decided to contribute towards the cause of “upliftment of the downtrodden”, in association with a local NGO, by raising funds. We planned out a strategy and took the help of fundraising registry at Our Wishing Well. After all, it would have been really difficult for us to carry a lot of cash. But with Our Wishing Well’s fund raising registry as our partner, we had a successful event and collected a huge fund that the NGO employed in the cause. A big thank you to Our Wishing Well!
After being in a relationship for a very long time I and my fiancé finally decided to get hitched. We were living together but then it was more like students living together. We had a house but not much things to start a family. So for our wedding we decided to set up our wedding registry and for this we choose Our Wishing Well as we had heard rave reviews about the website. It was absolutely a delight setting up a registry on the site. They have so many options and variety of stuff required to start a family. Thanks to Our Wishing Well, we got everything we needed for a married life.
We decided to set a baby shower wishing well for a friend but since all of us weren’t too interested in transporting the gifts or handling too much of cash lying in the well, we decided to use OurWishingWell.com to set a baby registry. It was very easy and took a lot of trouble off our shoulders. Thanks you OurWishingWell.com.
