About us

We created Zankyou after having seen through our own experiences that there was no wedding list and wedding webpage service that adapted to the needs of our generation; we get married later, we've often lived together already and we frequently have guests coming from abroad.

Today, Zankyou offers its services in a range of European and South American countries and in the USA and in eight different languages (German, French, English, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish and Dutch).

To date, more than 50,000 couples have created their wedding webpage through Zankyou and more than 400,000 gifts have been given via Zankyou gift lists. Every month more than 1.5 million users use the website, with an average of 7 million page views.

Our robust registry service is supported by recognized global organizations such as Citibank and Société Générale and gift payments are secured with Thawte® (Verisign).

Launched in 2007, Zankyou was selected as one of the top 20 websites worldwide (number 1 in Europe) by Feedmyapp. We pride ourself on being a leader of innovative technology for weddings and changing the status quo for engaged couples around the world. We love your wedding!
