The Wedding Shop is a wedding gift list and honeymoon fund service, founded in 1990 and based at 312 Fulham Road in Chelsea, London.
Anne-Marie JenkinsChief ExecutiveThe Wedding Shop was founded in 1990 and has run wedding gift lists for more than 35 years. It is led by Anne-Marie Jenkins, who joined as a Gift Guru around twenty years ago and now serves as chief executive. The company was founded and is run by women.
A list can mix products from over 300 brand partners, from Le Creuset and KitchenAid to The White Company and Nkuku, with experiences, vouchers, honeymoon funds, personal cash funds and charity donations. Couples can also add up to ten gifts from other UK retailers. Prices for branded products are set at the recommended retail price, and guests are offered a price match guarantee.
“Giving a gift you can keep for life is so lovely.”
Monica and Alexander, a Wedding Shop couple
Every couple is paired with a Gift Guru, who advises on what to include and how to arrange the list. Appointments take place at the Townhouse on Fulham Road, a four-storey house styled as ten rooms, where couples scan the barcodes of the gifts they like on their phone. A virtual appointment gives the same service for couples who cannot travel to London.
Guests are sent a link, a QR code or an insert card for the invitation, and can give a whole gift, contribute to a larger one through group gifting, or add to a fund. Gifts are collected in the company's warehouse and delivered together on a date the couple chooses, usually four to eight weeks after the order is placed. Money pledged to a list is held in a separate trust account.
Register online or at the Townhouse. Registering is free, and a Gift Guru is assigned to guide the choice of gifts, funds and experiences.
Add a photo, a background and a welcome message, put the gifts you most want at the top, and add up to ten items from other UK retailers.
Publish the list and share its web address, a QR code or the free insert cards sent with the invitations. Guests can search for the couple by surname.
Purchases and guest messages appear in the Thank you Manager, or notifications can be switched off to keep the gifts a surprise.
After the wedding the couple places the order, the gifts are stored in the warehouse for up to three months at no charge, and a delivery date is booked.
It's fantastic that all your gifts are delivered together - it's like Christmas Day! Having a wedding registry gave our guests so much choice. We added experiences, vouchers, and products. The service was super easy to use, and we especially loved the Thank you Manager tool.

There is no fee to couples. The service includes storage for up to three months and two free deliveries in the UK. Guests pay £3.99 delivery on gifts under £75 and a 1.9 per cent handling fee on cash and honeymoon contributions, which is not charged on charity donations.
The Wedding Shop suggests publishing the list before the wedding invitations go out, so that a card with the list details can be included. A list can be started from over a year before the wedding to the last minute and changed until the day. It closes automatically three months after the wedding unless the couple keeps it open.
Yes. Alongside the brand partner range, couples can add up to ten custom products from other UK retailers. Money pledged towards these is credited to the couple's account to spend with that retailer.
Couples can use ready-made honeymoon experiences or create their own fund with their own images and wording. Cash can be withdrawn after the wedding, with two withdrawals free of charge, or converted into product or voucher balance for added value.
Money pledged to a list is held in a separate trust account, and the website uses SSL encryption for card payments.
The Townhouse is at 312 Fulham Road, London SW10 9UG. Appointments last one hour or 90 minutes, and the 90-minute slot suits couples who want more guidance. Registering a list before the visit is recommended.
Gifts are usually delivered within four to eight weeks of the order, on a date the couple books. Most gifts can be shipped internationally, except large furniture, with a delivery fee and usually import costs.
Gifts cannot be returned once delivered, except damaged or faulty items or items that differ from their description. Couples can swap branded gifts for other branded products before placing their final order.
Your message goes straight to Anne-Marie, with your date, guests and the kind of wedding you have in mind.
