How are you different from other traditional registry services?
Not Another Toaster is the original concept registry service. We host wedding couples' self-created registry allowing couples to create their ultimate gift list based on what they need and their current life situation.
Honeymoon registries
Wedding couples break their honeymoon down into meaningful gifts for wedding guests to purchase. We have introduced a new element in the gift giving experience and intimate honeymoon indulgences such as in room massages and romantic dinners, or adventures such as scuba diving and deep sea fishing are now gifts available for purchase by wedding guests.
Luxury Item registries
Wedding couples list their ultimate luxury purchases, such as that new flat screen TV, piece of art from the local gallery, or bottles to add to the wine collection (or all of the above).
Home Renovation registries
For wedding couples who already own their own homes. Listed gifts can include new floorboards, carpet, paint, or landscape gardening
Donations to charity
Social justice and awareness is important to us all. Donations to charities such as the Heart Foundation, RSPCA, Cancer Council, MS, Make a wish, Guide dog foundation etc can all be included in our registries.
Combination registries
A combination of all of the above to create the perfect list that suits each individual couple.
We offer wedding guests the opportunity to purchase the wedding couple the perfect wedding gift. Purchasing is simple, convenient and all completed from the comfort of the guest's home.
Not Another Toaster is proud to be an independent registry service with no affiliations with any travel agents or department stores. Providing our wedding couples with the complete freedom to list gifts from anywhere.

What if we have already booked our honeymoon?
Not Another Toaster is not a travel agent. We host your registry only. Couples can book their honeymoon through any travel agent allowing them to find the best deals and at any time leading up to their wedding.
(back to top)
What if our guests don't purchase all our listed gifts?
It is always best to presume that the guests will not contribute the full cost of items on your bridal registry. Be prepared to contribute the short fall your guests may not cover. For couples who use their honeymoon as their bridal registry, most travel agents require both a deposit to book your honeymoon and full payment of your honeymoon 30-45 days before your travel date which is usually well before the closure of your bridal registry. For couples who use luxury items or home renovations as their bridal registry, be prepared to pay the shortfall on lay-bys and labour costs.

What if we have to postpone/cancel our wedding or honeymoon?
In the unfortunate situation that your wedding and/or honeymoon needs to be postponed or cancelled, please let us know. We will immediately close your registry (to your guests) and forward your gift contributions to you (less 150.00 set up fee). All your guest purchase details are stored in your bridal registry profile so you can refund gifts to your guests. We do not charge any additional cancellation fees.

Is this site safe? Can my guests purchase on line securely?
Yes this site is secure and safe to pay with credit card on line. Information on Not Another Toaster is transmitted using SSL encryption technology for all transactions. This process encrypts your billing information including your credit card number before it travels over the Internet. This is an industry standard for secure on line transactions. No credit card numbers are stored on our site. At the time of purchase, all credit card numbers are passed to the bank via an encrypted link and not stored on our site. This ensures your credit card details remain private and secure. Guests can pay via direct deposit, cheque, money order or Pay Pal if they prefer.
(back to top)
Can we see what our guests purchased?
Yes. All your guest details are stored in your bridal registry profile. Each guest must sign your bridal registry guest book. And each guest message is linked back to the gift they purchased, and the value of the gift. We keep each wedding couples bridal registry profile open (we only close the bridal registry guest access at settlement). So wedding couples always have access to their bridal registry list and guest messages and gift purchases for the purposes of 'thank yous' and for keepsake.

How do we organise settlement of our bridal registry?
We provide each wedding couple with a form to complete advising their bridal registry settlement instructions. As a general rule, couples provide dates for two gift 'transfers' and the final transfer is the date that the bridal registry is closed to wedding guests (bridal registry profiles remain open for wedding couples). Dates and transfer methods are flexible and at the discretion of the wedding couple.

Your sample registry becomes your real registry. All the details remain the same.

We will then send you a "Welcome pack" which has all the information required. If you do not require registry cards let us know and we'll email you the welcome pack. Once you receive the welcome pack your sample registry is live.
