Planning process
The host enters a shared gift and checks the generated 80-unit gift allocation against the real proposed cost. Contributions, if any, are handled through the group’s own agreed process outside the tool. The gift explanation thanks everyone collectively without reading amounts.
Result explanation
The gift allocation is a planning slice of the materials budget, not money collected or an authorization to purchase. Keeping one clear item and an optional response makes the ceremony easier to host. The participant list does not become a public contribution ledger.
Alternative
Use a no-cost collaborative letter if a purchase would create pressure. Ask the honoree what kind of keepsake they would actually welcome.
Execution notes
Do not imply that the tool receives payments, commissions an artist or guarantees delivery. Confirm permission and terms directly with any real supplier.
