Whenever you have to attend any wedding as a guest, the most natural question that comes to your mind is- what about the wedding gift? One has to think a lot about the wedding gift, as it has to be appropriate and useful. At the same time, one has to ensure that the gift is not repeated with the other gifts received by the couple.
Group gifting is the hottest trend this wedding season which has made the process of selecting, planning and paying for wedding gifts seamless and fun! You ‘pool in’ money with friends to gift an experience to the couple.

Just invite your friends in a group, plan for an awesome wedding gift together, and contribute your share individually. You can pay through Netbanking, Debit/Credit cards, or even mobile wallets like PayTM. The money collected can be cashed out in a bank account or, even better, can be used to buy a gift card directly for the newlyweds. One place to do all this is MyPoolin, which helps you to plan and pay for group expenses like gifts, travel, cafés and events.
While this is relatively a new concept, it has become one of the trendiest ways to gift this wedding season! And, here is why group wedding gifts are a better idea.

Many couples set up their home from scratch after marriage for which, they would need to buy a lot of things.

Believe us, the couple will always remember you for giving them such a thoughtful gift. Group gift cards for e-commerce websites can be purchased seamlessly at Group-Gift Cards.

Weddings need a ton of money. You can help out the couple by financing the wedding decor, catering or bridal makeup. This way, you will reduce the wedding cost for the couple, and also gift them something they will never forget!
