What to change first
- The note and the paragraph.
- The fund: what it is for, the photograph, and the button's link to your fund page (it points at a placeholder anchor).
- The list: the shop, the list number and the link.
- Bank details stay out of the pattern. A page anyone can read is no place for an account number; the closing line sends people to a person instead.
The signature moment
The note outweighs the list
A centred line at display size ("Having you there is the present."), a reading-size paragraph under it, and below them two small side-by-side cards, each ending on what to do. The fund card carries a photograph of where the money goes and a button; the list card names the shop and the list number with a link. On a phone the cards stack under the note.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives
Overview
The gifts section of a wedding or celebration site, written the way most couples want to say it: the note first and large, the ways to give small underneath. It sits in the cta section beside donate-impact-tiers (every amount named by what it buys; the amounts lead) and gift-voucher-ticket (one ticket to buy): here there are no amounts, and the note leads.

Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first
What to change first
- The note and the paragraph.
- The fund: what it is for, the photograph, and the button's link to your fund page (it points at a placeholder anchor).
- The list: the shop, the list number and the link.
- Bank details stay out of the pattern. A page anyone can read is no place for an account number; the closing line sends people to a person instead.
Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
- Typeface. The base states no font family.
- Palette. Your
baseground andcontrasttext. The cards tryrole-plate,role-plate-textand arole-ruleborder; the labels tryrole-label; all fall back tobaseandcontrast. - Buttons. Your theme's button with a stated padding, and an underlined link in the text colour.
What it decides for itself
- The note. A display size off the ladder, about 34px on a phone and 68px from 1280 up, on a 40rem measure.
- The cards. Together about 44rem wide and centred, 17rem minimum columns, so two across from a tablet up and one on a phone.

The Vow look
Part of the Vow Pattern Set, a couple's whole wedding website in one design language: wisteria white ground #f7f5fb, a wisteria band #ebe6f3, card white #ffffff and a midnight slab #1f2240; midnight ink, dusk #555a78 for secondary copy, peony #a8365a labels on light grounds and pale peony #f2b8c9 on the slab, wisteria hairlines #d9d3e6. Headings and names are Didot at 400 (Bodoni MT, Hoefler Text, Baskerville, Times New Roman, serif), body, labels and buttons Gill Sans (Seravek, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif). Cards and buttons are square; the primary button is a filled midnight rectangle, the secondary an underlined peony link. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip.

Questions
Gifts note and list: common questions
Does Gifts note and list need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Gifts note and list match my theme?
Choose by variation. Note and list takes your theme’s palette; Vow brings its own colours.
How many variations does Gifts note and list have?
2: Note and list and Vow. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library.
Is Gifts note and list free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
