Whether you're getting married in India, the US, the UK or the Gulf — and whether your family's in Mumbai, New Jersey or Dubai — this is one link that makes it easy for them to send money, pick a gift, or UPI/Venmo you directly. No awkward "where do I send the shagun?" questions. No confusing bank-wire screenshots. Just one shareable page your aunts, uncles and friends all understand.
Three steps, maybe 20 minutes of your time total.
Why this matters: On ~$500 of contributions across 40 guests — in either direction — a typical bank wire loses 3–5% to FX spread. Whether you're receiving into an Indian NRE account or a US checking account, pre-selecting Wise / Remitly / a local wire option on your page keeps that money in your guests' pockets and arrives in full to yours.
Here's a working example for a fictional couple. All the transfer buttons are real — try clicking one to see the flow.
Your presence is honestly what matters most to us. But if you'd like to give us something — whether it's chipping in toward the honeymoon, sending a gift, or a direct UPI / Venmo — here's a simple page with all the options, from wherever you are. Thank you for being part of this.
Pick any amount — these are just guidelines. Your presence means more than any number.
For guests in India sending to a couple abroad. LRS limit is US$250K per person per financial year — easily enough for wedding contributions.
Prefer to send something specific? Gifts work both ways — to India or to us abroad.
For guests who prefer a quick direct transfer — scan and send in seconds.
For any contribution over ₹1 lakh from abroad, please also send us a quick message so we can add you to our beneficiary list on Wise / Remitly (speeds up transfer).
↑ This example uses an Indian NRE account. If you (the couple) are getting married in the US / UK / UAE, swap this for your local checking / current account details — Routing + Account number (US), Sort code + Account number (UK), IBAN + SWIFT (EU/UAE). Same template, just your local banking fields.
↑ That's the full experience your guests would see. Clean, region-aware, with the right transfer option recommended for each country.

On the affiliate links: The "Send via Wise/Remitly/XE" links in the template earn a small commission if your guests use those tools (they pay the standard rate — your guests pay nothing extra). It offsets our work maintaining this free template. Feel free to replace them with your own referral links if you have them — everything's editable.
Three common options — pick one based on how you normally share documents with family.
Why Notion: easiest setup, free, looks clean on desktop and mobile, can be password-protected via a custom domain (with a Notion sub plan).
Paste the HTML block into any page. Customise the styling to match your wedding branding. If you already have a wedding website or personal domain, this is the cleanest option.
Your page contains bank details — treat it like any sensitive shared document.
Scam prevention tip. If someone claims to have sent a contribution but "the transfer failed" and asks for a small fee to "release" it — it's always a scam. Transfer providers don't charge recipients fees. Ignore and block.
Why we built this. NRI weddings go both ways — some in India with family flying in from the US, UK and Gulf; others abroad with family sending money and gifts from India. Existing registry platforms handle neither direction well (US platforms don't understand INR and Indian banking; Indian registries don't handle international senders). This template fits both flows. Free. No sign-up. No data captured.
