Claim:
A computer-implemented method for creating a gift registry web page comprising: providing a registry building graphical user interface (“GUI”) to a registrant; setting a registry type associated with an event; setting a number of guests invited to the event; calculating, by a processor using an algorithm, a recommended number of gifts based in part upon the number of guests and the registry type, wherein the recommended number of gifts is distributed between at least a first gift count recommendation associated with a first price range and a second gift count recommendation associated with a second price range; transmitting for display within the registry building GUI, for each price range, a corresponding gift count recommendation, a corresponding price range, and one of a corresponding currently registered tally and a corresponding remaining count tally; and interactively building, by the processor, a gift registry through the steps of (a) receiving user selection of a selected item having an item price, (b) determining the corresponding price range for the item price, (c) adjusting the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally, (d) comparing the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally to the corresponding gift count recommendation, and (e) repeating steps (a) through (d).
