Plan events, build gift registries from anywhere, and celebrate together.
Generous is a women-founded platform that brings every part of a celebration into one place. Hosts can build universal gift registries that pull from virtually any online store, send beautiful invitations, track RSVPs, coordinate with co-hosts, manage budgets, and request or book participating vendors. Guests get a clear, joyful experience — one link to RSVP, view details, see the registry, and chat with the rest of the group.
From bachelorette weekends and bridal showers to baby showers, birthdays, housewarmings, and milestone parties, Generous is built for the moments that matter most.
Who Generous is for
Generous is designed primarily for women aged 18–45 who are planning, hosting, or attending milestone celebrations — and for the friends, family, partners, and event vendors supporting them. Whether you are a maid of honor coordinating a bachelorette, an expecting parent building a baby registry, or a planner managing multiple events, Generous gives you a single warm, supportive home for the work.
