Cash, products, and group gifts in one registry
Most online wedding registries are product registries: a list of homewares from a single department store, a single currency, a single shipping address. That's a fine fit for some weddings; it's a poor fit for many South Asian ones, where gifts are often cash, often arrive in foreign currency, and often come from a group of people pooling for a single larger item. Baraat's registry handles all three modes natively. You can list a "honeymoon flights to the Maldives" fund where guests contribute any amount they like; a "kitchen upgrade" product gift with a fixed price; or a "John Lewis gift card" group gift where five aunts can chip in £50 each. Givers see a single page; the couple gets a single, cleanly itemised dashboard.
Multi-currency, multi-region
A British-Indian wedding might receive gifts in INR from family in Mumbai, AED from Dubai-based cousins, USD from American friends, and GBP from local guests. Generic registries would force everyone into a single currency and create FX confusion. Baraat lets each guest pay in their preferred currency — the registry shows local-currency amounts to local guests, converts on the way through, and shows you a clean GBP (or USD/AED/EUR) total. There is no manual conversion, no awkward "could you send me the dollars" follow-up, and no broken UPI or PayPal flows.
Privacy and dignity for the giver
A registry is a delicate object. Most guests don't want their gift size visible to other guests; some couples don't want anyone other than the giver and themselves to see any amount. Baraat's registry respects this by default — gift amounts are private to the giver and the couple. The couple sees who gave what; the rest of the wedding sees only that you're registered, not who has bought what or for how much. There are no leaderboards, no "85% of your registry is funded" guilt-tripping, and no gamification of generosity.
Thank-you tracking, on the back of every gift
After the wedding, the most-procrastinated task is the thank-you cards. Baraat's registry doubles as a thank-you tracker. You see every gift, the giver, the date, the amount, and the gift's nature — alongside a "thank-you sent" toggle and a notes field. Generate a thank-you card list in seconds, ranked by gift type, sorted by guest name, ready to take to a stationer or to mail-merge into your own template. This is a small feature that saves a lot of marriages from a months-long awkward backlog.
Linked into the wedding website
Your registry doesn't live on a separate site. It lives on your wedding website, with one tap from any page. Guests don't need to bookmark a separate URL or remember a vendor name — they go to the wedding site, click "Registry", and they're there. The whole experience is consistent with the rest of the site's design and language.

In real weddings
How couples are using it.
A "Maldives honeymoon" fund of £8,000
You set a target of £8,000 for two weeks in the Maldives. Guests contribute any amount they like in their own currency. Eighty contributions of varying sizes roll up to a single GBP total in your dashboard.
Group gift toward a Le Creuset set
A £400 cookware set is too much for any one guest, but five aunts pool £80 each. Baraat shows the group gift as 80% funded; the last contributor closes it out. The couple receives one item, with a list of all five contributors for the thank-you.
INR contributions from family in India
A family member in Bengaluru wants to contribute ₹50,000. They pay through a UPI flow that hands off to local payment rails; the couple sees £475 (the GBP equivalent) in their dashboard, with the original INR amount preserved for the thank-you.
