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.
