If your wedding falls near a move to another city, divide wishes by when you can receive them: before moving, after settling in, or once the new space’s details are clear. Share your home address privately after agreeing the handover.
This plan is for the couple who are moving. It helps avoid extra boxes and premature purchases, while leaving delivery arrangements to private conversations.
Choose what belongs on the list
Start in your own notes. Ask where each item will be used, whether it is easy to transport and whether you can receive it during the proposed period. Postpone size-dependent wishes until measurements are known.
| Situation | Decision | Guest guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Small useful item, easy to carry | Before moving | Can be handed over at the wedding |
| Needed in the new city, specifications confirmed | After settling in | Agree timing privately before buying |
| Size or use still uncertain | Keep in private notes | Revisit after moving |
These distinctions are written manually, not special Osanta categories.
Prepare the list in five steps
- Agree your likely moving period and when you can receive gifts.
- Remove bulky items and wishes needing unknown measurements.
- Record specifications, acceptable alternatives and receiving period.
- Choose one partner to handle private questions in existing conversations.
- Check before sharing. If plans change, update descriptions manually and contact guests with whom arrangements already exist.
The wedding wish list guide covers the general structure.
When the date is uncertain
Write “Please agree the handover privately after we move” rather than guessing a delivery day. Keep items you cannot yet receive out of active wishes. The list is optional guidance, not a buying obligation.
A practical example
A fictional couple marries in June and moves in July. Small gifts can be received at the wedding. A larger item with confirmed specifications could read: “Desk lamp in the specified model, white. Other colours are unsuitable. We can receive it after settling in; please agree the handover privately before buying. We will share the address in a private message.”
If dimensions or model are unknown, leave the item in private notes.
Message: “We are moving to another city around the wedding. The list explains what we can receive now and what needs to wait. Please contact us privately for later handovers. We will share the address privately; using the list is optional.”
For the separate issue of distant guests, see the guide for guests in different cities.
Where Osanta helps
The current wedding page describes one guest link, gifts and notes. Gather agreed wishes on one page and explain timing in each description. New owners start with email for access; signed-in users see a creation button without entering email again. Osanta does not arrange transport or promise delivery or automatic address changes.
Final checklist
- Active wishes have clear specifications and timing.
- Uncertain bulky items remain private.
- No home address, phone number, access code or moving route is published.
- Handover is agreed privately without delivery guarantees.
- Changed plans trigger a manual review and private follow-up.

Questions on this topic
Do we need a separate list for the new city?
Not necessarily. Keep one current list and describe receiving periods manually.
What if the new home’s measurements are unknown?
Keep size-dependent wishes in private notes until specifications are checked.
Can the new address go in a description?
Share home addresses and phone numbers privately after agreeing the handover.
What if an existing handover plan changes?
Update the description manually and contact the guest privately. Do not rely on automatic notifications.
Does Osanta provide delivery?
That service is not part of the checked scenario. Agree delivery, timing and receiving location separately.
