HOW IT WORKS

A digital wishing well, in three steps

From idea to event-ready in under five minutes. Here's exactly what happens for you and your guests.

For hosts

  1. 1

    Create your event

    Sign up free, add your event name, date and a cover photo. The whole thing takes about two minutes.

  2. 2

    Customise your page

    Pick a theme that matches the occasion. Add a personal welcome message. Preview exactly what your guests will see.

  3. 3

    Share your QR code

    Download a beautiful printable QR code or copy your event link. Add it to invitations, table cards, or display it at the venue.

  4. 4

    Receive gifts

    Every gift, message, video and photo lands in your private dashboard in real time. Funds go straight to your bank via Stripe.

  5. 5

    Send thank-yous

    Reply to every guest with a personal thank-you message in just a few clicks.

For guests

  1. 1

    Scan the QR code

    Open your phone camera, point it at the QR code on the invitation or at the venue. Tap the link — no app required.

  2. 2

    Choose an amount

    Pick a preset amount or type your own. A clear breakdown shows the small service fee before you confirm.

  3. 3

    Add a message or video

    Write a heartfelt note, record a short video (up to 60 seconds), or take a photo. Skip if you'd rather not.

  4. 4

    Pay securely

    Pay with credit card, debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The host receives your gift and message instantly.

No app downloads

Guests use their phone's camera and browser. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.

Secure by default

All payments are processed by Stripe. WishWelly never sees or stores card details.

Yours forever

Every gift, message, video and photo stays in your dashboard — download whenever you want.
