Our Project Idea

When having a wedding, many people like to have a wedding registry so the guests that want to get gifts for the happy couple know what they want and can get them a gift they know they are going to treasure. A member of our team had some friends get married recently and found there wasn't a good option online to create a digital wedding registry.

For our project, we decided to build web application that let's users create a wedding registry with gifts that they can add from any online or physical store. They can then choose a custom url that they send their guests so their guests can purchase those gifts for the wedding.

MVP

The MVP should satisfy these user stories:

1. I should be able to sign up a new account, and log in.
2. As a user, I should be able to create a wedding registry. Saving data such as a title, wedding description, the date of the wedding and a custom url that my guests will be able to visit.
3. As a user, I should be able to create multiple gifts. Saving data such as a title, description, image, price etc.
4. As a user, I should not be able to view/edit any of the gifts for any other registry, only my own.
5. As a guest, I should be able to visit the custom url specified by the registres custom url value without needing a login.
6. As a guest, I should be able to purchase a gift, or donate money towards part of a gift.
7. As a guest, I should be able to leave a message for the wedding couple when purchasing a gift.

Stretch goals/Bonus features

• Make the registry an iFrame so it can be embedded into another website
• Allow users to design their own home page content
• Send alert (email?) to user when someone buys a gift
  • Could use nodemailer
  • Send a thank you to the buyer
  • Notification to receiver
• Themes
  • Let users have custom urls for their registry
    • Start with editable endpoint (ex: https://v16bears4weddings.com/danielandco)
  • Use CSS variables to hold color palettes? (sorry IE users)
• set a start and end date for when the registry is active
• Allow for partial payments of a gift,
  • GoFundMe style section for particular gifts - i.e. honeymoon, house deposit, etc…
• Create a cart that you can add items to before purchasing
  • Call ‘dibs’ on purchasing an item
  • If it’s in someone’s cart, show other users that that item is pending purchase
• Payment structure (5 items for free, unlimited items for $40, unlimited items + unique url for $80)
• Wedding RSVPs
• Chrome extension
  • Adds the items to your registry
  • When clicking the button, it would grab the image, price, title, url, and description
    • Auto-populate the add items popup with this information or leave blank
    • User can edit or fill in missing info before submitting to registry
• Cash fund (with target goal, optional)
  • For house, honeymoon, home appliances, couple’s massage, etc.
• Add a “suggested items” section based on user’s current registry items (sponsored advertising space potential?)
• Import existing wishlists from other registries
• Allows you to make public and private lists for family and friends (reception vs ceremony friends..?)
• Rank gift items based on how much you want them

Project Review

We successfully completed our MVP on time. We also completed one of our stretch goals which was to add a payment page for users, where they can view all of the payments that have been made by guests.
