Wishorium

How do I put a gift list on a kids’ party invitation?

Add one friendly line near the bottom and the list’s web address, and keep it optional. A Wishorium wish book has its own short address, like alfie.wishorium.com, that fits on a printed card, and on a WhatsApp or email invitation you just paste the link. Guests’ parents open it with no account, circle what they’re bringing, and nobody turns up with the same present.

What to write

Keep it short, warm and clearly optional. Put it under the time and place, not at the top. A few that work:

  • “Presents are never expected, but if you’d like some ideas, Alfie’s wish list is at alfie.wishorium.com”
  • “Your company is the best present! If you’d like ideas, here’s Alfie’s list: alfie.wishorium.com”
  • “Alfie would love anything from his wish list, or nothing at all: alfie.wishorium.com”

A short address for printed invitations

Every wish book lives at its own address, the child’s name followed by .wishorium.com, so it’s easy to read off a card and type in. For a digital invitation, a WhatsApp message or an email, paste the link, or use “Copy link” from your list.

Guests circle what they’re bringing

Each wish can be circled once. A guest’s parent opens the list, picks something, circles it and types their name, and everyone after them sees it’s taken. They don’t need an account unless you switch that on, and you see who brought what, for the thank-you notes.

  • No two guests bring the same thing
  • No account needed to circle
  • You see who, for the thank-yous

Something at every price

Put on plenty of small things as well as bigger ones: books, craft kits, stickers and stocking-filler-sized toys, so every family can find something easily. If you’d rather nobody compared, switch on “Hide prices” and the list shows no prices at all.

For a class party

With a whole class invited, put on more wishes than guests so the last family to look still has a choice. A note on a bigger wish (“happy for this to be a group present”) lets parents club together.

Questions from grown-ups

Is it rude to put a gift list on a party invitation?

Not when it’s offered as ideas, kept short and clearly optional. Many parents are glad of it: it saves them guessing, and it stops three guests bringing the same thing.

Where on the invitation should it go?

Near the bottom, after the date, time, place and how to reply. One line is enough.

Do guests need to sign up?

Only if you want them to. When you set up the list you choose: either anyone with the link can circle and just type their name, or they sign in with Google or an email address (and can add a photo).

Will my child see who brought what?

Not in child mode, which never shows names on circles. You see who circled what, so you can write the thank-you notes.

What if we’d rather have no presents?

Then say so instead: “No presents please, just bring yourselves.” A list is for when you’re happy to have gifts and want to help people choose.

Can I use it for a joint party?

Yes. Give each child their own wish book, each with its own address, and put both on the invitation, so guests can pick for the child they know.

Is it free?

Yes. Some shop links are affiliate links, which pay us a small commission at no cost to you.

Ready when you are ✨

Free, five minutes to set up, and the family don’t need an app.
