The anti-registry / step 03 / mara

Guest view

A friend started it. Mara approved it.

A first home, on her terms.

From the people who love her

A little room-by-room help for Mara's first week in a place that is entirely hers.

Started quietly by two friends. Approved by Mara.

What guests receive

It arrives from the friend. Never from the person being celebrated.

No account, no wedding-site scavenger hunt—just a note and a short list someone already said yes to.

Subject: Mara got the keys

Hi—it's Liv. Mara bought the house by herself. There's no registry anyone would think to make, so I made a private first draft. Mara has seen every item and approved the list. If you want to send something, it's below. If you'd rather just say congratulations, that counts too.

These are thoughtful prompts, not a payment page.

01 / FIRST NIGHT

Soft place to land

Sheets, a lamp, or anything that makes the first evening feel less like a box fort.

02 / FIRST KITCHEN

Useful, not performative

The practical things that help a kitchen become hers—without assuming what she needs.

03 / FIRST GATHERING

A reason to open the door

Something for the table, the floor, or a very low-key welcome-home dinner.
