Started by a guest, not the host
On the event website, guests see a simple prompt: fancy going in together on a gift? Any guest can tap "start a group gift", give it a name — "a spa weekend for Mum" — and they become the organiser. Everyone who visits after that sees who started it and what it's for, and can opt in with what they'll put in, or opt out. It works whether or not the guest arrived through a personal invite link, so nobody's left out.
Private from the person it's for
Because the collection is guest-owned, the host never sees the amounts — which matters, because the gift is usually for them. If it's a surprise party, it stays a surprise: the guest of honour never sees who gave what. The host's side simply shows that a collection exists, not the running total. It's the discretion a group gift needs, built in.
The organiser records the real money
The guest who started it gets a private management link that works on any device. There they see everyone who's opted in and what they pledged, and — crucially — they record the money as it actually arrives: cash, bank transfer, or other, per person, with a running total of what's been received against what was pledged. No payment processor, no fees, no waiting on a platform to pay out — just a clean ledger for the person actually collecting and buying the gift.

In real weddings
How couples are using it.
A surprise 60th
The family's throwing a surprise Sashti Poorthi. A cousin starts a collection for a big joint gift; relatives opt in from the event website; and because it's surprise mode, the guest of honour never sees a thing. The cousin records each bank transfer as it lands.
Pooling for the couple
Rather than fifteen separate envelopes, the friendship group goes in together on one meaningful gift. One friend organises, everyone opts in, and the couple are none the wiser until the day.
A kids' party joint present
For a first birthday, the parents' friends pool for one bigger gift instead of a pile of small ones. A parent runs the kitty and logs who's paid.
