How do I show the family who gave each book on my registry?

Step by step · Updated

Send them the family link from your registry dashboard. It opens a page of every book bought so far, who gave it and their gift message, so the family knows who to thank. The family can't see the shipping address, passcodes or your settings.

Send the family link

  1. Sign in and go to bookroo.com/dashboard/registries, then click your registry.
  2. In the Share with the family box, click Copy family link.
  3. Paste the link into an email or text to the family.

Click See what they'll see to open the page yourself.

Choose what the family can see and do

The Share with the family box has two switches. A change applies right away, even after you've sent the link.

Switch On Off
Show who gave each book (on to start) Each gift shows "From" and the gift message, and the page has a Copy thank-you list button Gifts show without names or messages
Let them add and remove books (off to start) The family can add books, remove books nobody has bought yet, and change their order The family can only look

What the family sees

  • Gifts: every book bought so far, whether it was on the list or not, and whether it has shipped.
  • Still on the list: books nobody has bought yet.
  • Copy thank-you list: each giver's name with the books they gave and their gift messages, ready to paste.

To keep the gifts a surprise, don't send the link. The registry page friends and family buy from never shows who bought what.
