In France gift lists stay delicate. The goal is not to impose, it is to give a clear option to guests who ask "what would you like?".
Fiancé offers a list where each guest can claim a gift or contribution, so you do not get three identical blenders.

Three common formats

Item list with claiming (tableware, trip, home gear)
Honeymoon or joint project fund
Envelope on the day (mention quietly in FAQ, not as a headline)

Good practices

Offer price ranges (30 to 300 EUR)
Include a "free contribution" option
Do not display collected amount publicly
Thank within two months with a personal note

How Fiancé can help

Build your gift list in Fiancé: add ideas, external links, or fund amounts. Guests claim from the wedding page without public amount details.
