What is Card Avenue?
Card Avenue is the first online gift card registry. It allows you to ask your guests for a total amount of gift cards at specific stores. This lets them contribute towards a larger goal in any amount they can afford.

With a few minor details about your upcoming event, you'll get a personalized registry page to share with friends and family. Just browse the site to find stores and restaurants you want to receive gift cards for and the amount you desire. When guests purchase a desired gift card in any amount, they enter it on your registry page and their contribution is deducted from the total.
