wantivoI want to collect wishes
Use the general wishlist or the wishlist with links when you need ideas, prices, priorities, product links, and reservations.
Find the right way to use Wantivo
Create a wishlist, share it with guests, choose by occasion, or coordinate what people bring. Start with what guests need to do.
How it works
How to choose the right Wantivo topic
The best starting point is not the label. It is what the people receiving the list should understand or do.
Guests need easy access
Use sharing, QR code, or browser access when the main question is how guests open the prepared list.
The occasion matters
Use occasion-based lists for birthdays, weddings, baby gifts, Christmas, and parties because guests expect different context.
People should bring something
Use the potluck list when reserving means "I will bring this" instead of "I will buy this gift".
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which Wantivo topic should I start with?
Start with the problem you have right now: collect wishes, share a prepared list, choose the right occasion, or coordinate what people bring.
Where should I start if I simply need a wishlist?
Start with the general wishlist. It covers wishes, links, sharing, and reservations so gifts are less likely to be bought twice.
When are sharing, QR code, or browser access more important?
Sharing, QR code, and browser access matter when the list is already prepared and guests mainly need an easy way to open it.
When should I choose by occasion?
Choose by occasion when birthday, wedding, baby, Christmas, or party changes what guests need to know before they choose a gift.
When does a potluck list fit?
A potluck list fits when guests are not choosing gifts but bringing food, drinks, decorations, or other supplies to a gathering.
Made for you
Start with the situation, not the site map
The useful question is simple: are you collecting wishes, helping guests open a list, choosing an occasion, or coordinating what people bring?
- ✓ You want to understand which Wantivo setup matches your current problem.
- ✓ You need guests to receive one clear list instead of scattered messages.
- ✓ You want to keep gift ideas, access methods, and potluck contributions separate.
Wantivo
Each topic has a different job
A helpful Wantivo setup should answer the question a guest would otherwise ask in chat.
The general wishlist is the right starting point when you want to collect gift ideas, add details, share one link, and let guests reserve wishes.
Sharing, QR code, and no-app access become relevant after the list exists. Then the problem is not creating more wishes, but making access simple for guests.
Occasion-based lists are useful when birthday, wedding, baby, Christmas, or party changes what belongs on the list. A potluck list is different again because people bring contributions instead of buying gifts.
- For personal gift wishes: use the general wishlist or wishlist with links.
- For guest access: use sharing, QR code, or wishlist without an app.
- For occasion context: use birthday, wedding, baby, Christmas, or party lists.
- For contributions to a gathering: use a potluck list.
Common starting points and concrete occasions
These starting points cover the most common situations. Baby shower, baptism, and back-to-school each have dedicated pages with more specific examples.
Choose the setup that helps your guests fastest
When the setup matches the real situation, the list feels clearer and reservations make more sense.
