The Mechanics

When your gift is logged with us, you set the time limit. You decide the delivery address and the dates and we ship everything, free of charge to any mainland UK address.

When the list is complete and delivered, we send you our wedding present - Portmeirion Gift Vouchers to the value of 10% of the total spend on your list. Our gift list service is equally convenient for guests in all parts of the country; they don't need to visit the shop as they can receive your list by phone, fax, post or email. Most of the items in our range are illustrated on the www.portmeirion.com website, so guests can look at the items on your list. They can then place their order by phone, email or post and pay by credit card or cheque.

Gift wrapping, a tag and delivery to a mainland UK address are all free of charge - Portmeirion's Wedding List Service is very guest friendly!

What Goes On The List?

Think about and discuss how you nomally eat, and about how you plan to entertain - formal dining, casual buffets, snacks in front of the TV? This will give you a basis for making your selection. Most couples register for between 6 and 12 place settings and for the associated serving pieces - don't be afraid of selecting too many items. It is good to give guests a variety of choices and prices so that they can feel comfortable with their gift.

Look at the pieces and think about the different ways they can used. The same bowl could serve salad, curry, bread, fruit, popcorn or be used as a centrepiece with floating candles or a flower arrangement! Think about how you like to set your table. Would you like to lay the places with a charger plate in a contrasting colour, for a formal look? Talk to our knowledgeable and helpful staff about this, or any other questions you may have.

Why A Wedding Gift List?

Now is the time to think seriously about how you will design your new home, how you like to live and how you will entertain. Together, start a "style file" of magazine clippings to help you both imagine the look of your new home. This can then be a guide when registering your bridal gift list.

A well set up gift list is a great way to help wedding guests give you what you actually love, need and want, and to avoid receiving the same fondue set from all five aunts! You should try and register your gift list before you send out the wedding invitations so that when guests ask about gifts, they can be directed to us. A notice of where your wedding list is held should probably not be sent out with invitations.

Just phone and discuss it with us on :

All we ask is that each couple lives happily ever after!
