Wedding Gifts in the Digital Era

It’s not taboo for the couple getting married to ask for money to be their gift. That taboo in Malta is long broken. It’s an expectation that a small card asking for monetary gifts, will pop out of the wedding invitation so they don’t “ruin” the lettering and design by asking for (gasp) what every other couple is asking for. All of us have a different science of how much they end up giving with an equation involving proximity, how long they have been friends, if they’re reading at the wedding – but that’s a whole other story. 

Peer-to-peer money transfer apps have revolutionised the banking industry and have finally arrived in Malta to transform wedding gifts as well. Through The Gift Fund you can create the wedding registry of your dreams and trade those traditional cash envelopes for money directly into your account. 

List the items you and your other half really want and need and show your guests what their money can go towards – from homeware, to honeymoon contributions to home loan repayments for your first home. In other words, what is really squeezing your funds and really need help in, or a special treat you would otherwise never have opted for. The choice is yours. 

Avoid cash floating around during the wedding festivities and enjoy your day knowing you have all your gifts listed in one convenient easy-to-track and secure place at no extra cost to you or your guests.
