September 30, 20267 min readSetting up your Pot is the easy part. Here's how to make sure guests can find it, use it, and feel good about chipping in — wherever they are in your wedding planning.
Once your Honeymoon Pot is ready, guests need just one thing to contribute: your link. The question is where to put it so they actually see it — without you having to explain it every time someone asks.
Here's how to cover the main touchpoints.
This is where most guests will look first. A dedicated gifts or honeymoon page is ideal, but even a short section on your main page works well.
What to include:
A line or two about what you're saving for
Your Pot link (or an embedded button if your website builder supports it)
Optionally, a few items from your wishlist so guests can see what they'd be contributing towards
Keep it easy to find — a clear "Gifts" tab in your navigation is better than burying it at the bottom of the page.
Save the dates point guests to your wedding website, so if your Pot link is there, you're covered. You don't need to mention gifts on the save the date itself.
For invitations, a short insert card works well — two or three lines and a link. If your guests tend to prefer printed information, a QR code on the insert gets them there in one scan.
A printed card or small sign on the gifts table is a modern alternative to a wishing well — and it catches guests who didn't get around to chipping in beforehand.
You can generate a free QR code for your Pot link from any QR code generator. Print it at home or have it made as part of your stationery.
What tends to work:
A small A6 card with the QR code and one line of text
A framed sign near the card box
A card tucked inside envelopes for guests who bring cards on the day
Guests don't need an account to chip in — just a phone and the QR code.
Evening-only guests often miss the gift details. A short message after the invitations go out — or a note in your evening invitations — means they're not left guessing.
Hi [Name] — so looking forward to celebrating with you! If you'd like to give a gift, we've set up a Honeymoon Pot so you can chip in towards our trip. No pressure at all — here's the link if you'd like to take a look. [link]
When a guest clicks your link, they land on your Pot page. They can see your Pot name, your description, and — if you've added one — your wishlist of moments at different prices.
They choose what they'd like to put towards (or just chip in whatever feels right), leave a message if they want, and pay by card. No account needed. No app to download. Most guests are done in under two minutes.
Want to see what it looks like before you share it? Take a look at a demo Pot to see the guest experience for yourself.
You can share the link as many times as you like. There's no limit on contributions, and guests can chip in at any point before or after the wedding - as long as your Pot is still open.
Guests don't see what others have given. Each guest sees only their own contribution — not what anyone else has chipped in. So nobody feels put on the spot by what others have given.
You can hide the running total. If you'd rather guests don't see how much has been raised so far, you can turn this off in your Pot settings.
You can update your Pot any time. Add wishlist items, change your description, update your photo — it's your Pot to keep current as your plans develop.
A Honeymoon Pot is free to create, and guests don't need an account to chip in — just a link. You can keep it simple or add a wishlist of moments at different price points so guests can choose what they'd like to fund.
