Keep the record

A gift is a round trip. The book shows who gave to you, who you gave to, and what is still owed.

  • Every person has a full history, in both directions.
  • White-envelope entries run grey, never red. A condolence is kept to remember who came.
  • Set a reminder for what is still owed. It rings once.

Run the reception desk

The gift table on the wedding day. Every envelope is saved to the phone the moment it is taken.

  1. Paste the guest listOne name per line, straight from the invitations.
  2. Record each envelopeCopy what is written on the packet. Only the newest one can be undone, so a missing number cannot be quietly erased.
  3. Reconcile at the end of the nightEvery number that does not add up is listed. If the phone plays up, print the paper book and keep going.

The gift book it hands you

The app's own export of a 37-envelope banquet. Envelope 23 is missing, and the book says so.

Sample 陳怡君 and 36 others are fictional names, for demonstration only.
