(Note: make sure gifts are sensibly affordable and not ridiculous to guests).

Of course with more expensive and larger gifts, a group of friends or family can opt to pay together for that one gift. For this to work, one of the groom’s or bride’s helper (bridesmaid or groomsman) needs to check-off who is going to get what gift in that way another guest going for the same gift knows its taken.
