One wedding gift from the whole group
The registry's big items are gone and half the office wants to chip in. One link: everyone gives what they want, privately, and the couple chooses their gift.
How it works for the guest who organizes it
Start the pool in the free KadoPool app
Add both partners and set their shares.
Invite the group
By e-mail from the app, and in the group chat or the office channel.
Let the reminders do the chasing
With automatic reminders on, KadoPool nudges the people you invited by e-mail who haven't chipped in yet, about 3 days and 12 hours before the closing date. You see who has chipped in, never who gave what.
Send the gift
They open it in the KadoPool app, with the KadoBook of everyone's wishes.

Free to organize, in about two minutes. Guests and coworkers chip in from the link, with no app.
For the guests who can't be there
Everyone chips in from the same link, from anywhere, and every name goes in the KadoBook.
The card is built in
No card to buy and pass around: every message goes in the KadoBook, and a KadoClip can play at the reception.
Instead of a wedding present
People can give to a charity the couple loves, in their honor. The money goes to the charity, each donor gets a tax receipt from it, and the partner you name receives the KadoBook. How donation pools work
What they receive
Prepaid cards or gift cards: they choose
Prepaid cards they spend wherever the card is accepted (up to $999 each; the rest as gift cards), gift cards they pick, or a mix. See the gift cards
Everyone can add a photo
On US pools, each person can add one with their message, in the app or on the website after paying. You choose which ones to keep.
A KadoClip: the messages as a short video
Set to music, from $2.49 per recipient, or with the photos, from $3.99. You see the price before you choose.
Play the sample KadoClip from the messages
Play the sample KadoClip with photosThe KadoBook, free with every gift
Every message on its own page, with the names of the people who chipped in, kept in the app for two years.
A KadoPrint: the KadoClip, printed
The messages and photos you keep, printed and sent to each person you thank. You see its price, with shipping, in the app.
A KadoFrame: the poster
The photos everyone added, as one 18 × 24 in poster in the gift's style, with every name. Printed, rolled in a tube and sent to each person you thank. You see its price, with shipping, in the app.
Why KadoPool for a wedding
- Private by design. Nobody sees who gave what, not even the organizer. The total stays hidden until enough people have chipped in that no amount can be guessed.
- The card is built in. Every message goes in a KadoBook, free with every gift, and a KadoClip can turn the messages and photos into a short video.
- A gift that gives twice. Link the pool to a school, club or nonprofit and KadoPool gives it 30% of our fee, never taken from the gift. Or give to a charity in someone's honor.
What it costs
Organizing is free. Each payment carries the card processing and KadoPool's 2% fee: about $1.53 on a $25 gift. You choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top. See pricing
Questions
When do they get the gift?
When you send it from the app, once the pool has closed. Set the closing date for the day before you want them to have it, and send it on the day. They don't need an account first: they get one e-mail with the gift and open it in the free KadoPool app.
Can we use it alongside their registry?
Yes. It's a separate gift.
Can people outside the US chip in?
Yes, from the link with their own card. It is charged in dollars and their bank converts it. Stripe charges 1.5% more for a card from outside the US, shown before they pay.
More questions
Can each partner have their own share?
Yes. Add both and set each one's share; each chooses prepaid cards, gift cards or a mix.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes, always: the couple hear nothing from KadoPool until you send the gift. Just share the link where the couple won't see it.
