Wedding Jar

    A Wedding Jar is one shared link where guests give together. Whether it's a honeymoon fund, a house fund, or a straightforward cash wedding gift collection, guests add money, a gift card, or a note — all in one place instead of scattered envelopes.

    What is this?

    A Wedding Jar is a shared page for one wedding — the link the couple (or a friend) creates and shares with guests.

    What happens?

    Guests chip in — toward the honeymoon, a group gift, or a heartfelt message.

    How a Wedding Jar works

    1

    Name the Jar

    Say who's getting married and what you're pooling toward — a honeymoon fund, a home, or an open cash wedding gift collection. Under three minutes.

    2

    Share one link

    Add the link to the wedding website, the invite, or a group message. No accounts, no app — every guest can open it and give.

    3

    Everyone gives together

    Guests contribute to the wedding money pool, send a gift card, or leave a blessing. The couple sees it all in one place and cashes out when ready.

    Ways people use a Wedding Jar

    Illustrative examples — not customer testimonials.

    The honeymoon fund

    The couple already has a home full of things. A honeymoon fund lets guests put their gift toward the trip of a lifetime instead of another appliance.

    Guests who'd rather give cash

    A clean cash wedding gift collection means no registry guesswork — guests give what they like through one link, with a note attached.

    Friends exchanging a wrapped group gift

    The friends' group gift

    A friend group wants to go in on one meaningful present. A Wedding Jar keeps the running total in one place so no one has to front the money.

    Wedding Jar FAQ

    How does a wedding money pool work?

    You create one Jar and share the link. Guests open it and contribute by card toward a honeymoon fund or a group gift — no account or app needed.

    What are the fees, and how does the couple get the money?

    Contributions are processed securely by Stripe, which charges standard card-processing fees; EventJar adds a small platform fee shown before anyone pays. The couple cashes out to a bank account through Stripe — the balance is theirs, minus those transparent fees.

    Can guests send a gift card instead of cash?

    Yes. Alongside a cash wedding gift collection, guests can send a gift card from popular brands, so the couple gets flexibility either way.

    Do guests need an account or the app?

    No. A Jar is one link any guest can open in a browser and contribute — no downloads.

    Can guests leave messages with their gift?

    Every guest can add a blessing or note, and the couple can add photos and a story so the Jar becomes a keepsake of well-wishes.
