I would suggest using a free WooCommerce wishlist addon. Be careful with those cheap registry plugins tho, they usually have bad code and might break your site layout if you dont test them.

Gift Registry by Pi is a decent option if youre on a budget since they have a free version. The plugin handles the basics without being too flashy. You could also try using Share Product for ideas on simpler integrations if you want something more stable. Just make sure to backup your site first... smaller plugins sometimes mess with theme layouts.

Honestly its so ridiculous how much these plugin developers are charging now! It drives me absolutely crazy because WordPress is supposed to be open source and accessible, but the greed lately is just unbelievable! Its such a scam to charge a yearly subscription for something you literally only need for a few weeks. I absolutely love building custom WP sites, but the pricing for basic functionality has gone totally downhill. Here is why these registry plugin costs are totally out of touch:

• They force you into annual renewals for a one-time event like a baby shower.
• The features they gate behind paywalls are basic forms and list items.
• They bloat your site with upsell ads even after you buy. Seriously, paying $150 for a registry is insane when you could buy actual baby gear for that price! The developers just dont care about the average user anymore. I stopped trying to host these on my own sites. I keep a running wishlist on Share Product so when my parents ask what I want, I just send the link.
