For couples and families
Picture your day.
Your guests find a small card on their table. They scan it, read your message, and give in your name. Weeks later, you receive their wishes and a certificate showing what your celebration made possible.
Blessings that travel further
Your guests' love turns into training, meals and play for young people starting again.
No gift clutter
No duplicate gifts, no bouquets that wilt by morning, no return gifts to plan.
Easy for every guest
Scan, give in a minute by UPI, card or net banking, from India or abroad. Each guest gets a receipt.
A keepsake for you
When the page closes, you receive the names and wishes of guests who agreed to share them, and a thank-you certificate.

Who your guests support
Young people building lives of their own.
Headstreams supports children and young women pushed out of education by violence, abuse, trafficking or abandonment, with stable, long-term support to learn, heal and build a livelihood.
Your guests' gifts go into our three pillars: building skills through craft and design, connecting young women to a collective they can grow into and co-own, and preparing the next generation through play and learning.
For wedding planners and event managers
