Honeymoon Wedding Registry

We asked, "What advice would you have for other couples about using a honeymoon registry or on honeymoons in general?"


Register for everything! You never know what people will get you as a present. Our friends & famiy loved the idea of getting us fun, adventurous things to do on our honeymoon. It made them feel like they had a big part with us having a good time.
- Shena and Warren
Be sure to have a good variety of dollar amounts to choose from. The lowest ones were not as "intimidating" to folks that didn't want to or couldn't afford to spend much. Be creative with the descriptions you can write! Have fun with it because it makes it more personable.
- Julie and John
Put a link to the registry on your wedding webpage and then send out your wedding webpage link on the information included in your invitations, that way you can indirectly point your guests to your registry (and not be impolite). Select lots of different gifts for your friends and family to choose from.
- Lori and Sean
Having a wide range of priced activities allows for "something for every guest's budget". We had several guests pick a larger ticket item then they also throw in a little something small as extra.
- Sharon and Robert
It's so much better than getting traditional "gifts". Have a variety of priced items.
- Kelly and David
If you already have what you need for your household, this is a great way to select things to do on your honeymoon. Be sure to pick several items to give your guests choices allowing you to get the most from the site.
- Carla and Tony
Be sure to add a cash contribution gift with small increments for those who prefer to give smaller gifts but don't be afraid to add some larger ones as well. It's surprising how much some people will purchase!
- Meredith and Ben
Spread the word, spread the word, spread the word! Put the money you get towards your honeymoon for a stress free vacation. All those excursions you want to go on but think are too expensive are bought for you to go on!
- Nikki and Kelly
Encourage your friends to have a honeymoon shower for you! My girlfriends did this for me with an "Italian" theme and it was such a huge help towards our honeymoon. Our generation thinks it is great!
- Sarah and Eric
Put a registy card for Honeymoon Wishes in your invitations. The friends and family we told about our registry were really excited to be able to get us things for our honeymoon!
- Diana and Chris
Definitely use the registry forms and include them in your invitations. These days a lot of guests shop online. The best part is, they are really getting something you would want (instead of a toaster) and if you can't get to it, you get cash.
- Tracie & Bryan
Put anything & everything that you may want to do on their. Your guests may suprise you and buy you something that you didn't think anyone would get.
- LaRee and Christopher
Create it early in your planning! It really is helpful!
- Sarah and Nicholas
I like the flexibilty of how to utilize your gifts. The payment setup was great.
- Judy and Daron
Post your story, post your pictures and then post your honeymoon pictures
- Susie and Rick
Announce the registry to friends and family early
- Cassandra and Chris
Use it for your bridal shower and push the website!
- Monique and James
Send out notices about the registry as soon as you register. This will increase your chances of receiving gifts before the actual honeymoon.
- Tanisha and Marquis
Do direct deposit, they were completely upfront and secure with our funds and if people give you a gift while you are on your honey moon you can still use it then you don't have to wait till you get home to have the money
- Stephanie and Anthony
Get the word out to family and friends early!
- Jeanne and Geoffrey
add gifts that range in prices so people can buy you something regardless of how much they want to spend.

Give potential gift givers lots of options: both in the area of activities and levels of cost.
- Heidi and William
put any and everything you would love to do and give your guests a variety
- Stephanie and Brad
Explain how it works to your guests when you send out the link.
- Tricia and John
My advice would be to let the guest buying you the gift pay the 7% or whatever the fee is because if they are getting you an internet gift, they would have to pay shipping somewhere else anyway.
- Erika and Andreas
Make sure it is listed and linked clearly wherever you list your registries. Make sure your parents know you prefer a honeymoon gift.
- S and G
You would be surprised how much people give. We put many $20 gifts but people went for the $40+. Make a lot of selections too.
- Laina and Nicholas
Its a good site and many of our guest liked it a lot. I would suggest that couples advertise it within their conversations and any bridal shower invitations they send out.
- Katina and Maurice
Register for more than you want. You never know what you will receive and it seemed like people are more willing to give the gift of a dinner or excursion on your trip than what you would typically receive at a wedding.
- Vivian Lynette and Michael Alan
Choose a range of $$ on the registry.
- Steff and Daniel
Don't register anywhere else. You will love not having to worry about money on your honeymoon.

Make sure you tell everyone that you are registered with honeymoon wishes!

When putting dollar amounts to the activities, use smaller dollar amounts but ask for more quantity. It allows people to give within their budgets. By doing this we had lots of sold out items.
- Cheronda and Justin
Spread the word to your guests early!
- Crystal and Matthew
Don't be afraid to TELL your family and friends to spread the word and that THAT is what you really want! AND - remind them that if they are afraid or leary of using the on line payment option (even though it IS secure) - there is the 800# they can use and a customer service representative will be able to help them place the order.
- Megan and Kevin
Use the websites templates. I got ideas for gifts I never thought to ask for. I was amazed someone footed the bill for subway fare and massages.
- Patricia and Angelo
Use the webpage, and the free registry announcement cards. We put ours in our Invitations.
- Amanda and Ronnie
Remember to consider what people gave you as gifts from the site, just in case you didn't actually do those activities and have a response that is still complimentary of their gift.
- Laura and Jason
Use this as your main registry site and you may get more money.
- Kimberly and Daniel
Register for things in small dollar amounts (its okay if the quanity is high), we found people were much more willing to give more gifts in the amount of $20 (sometimes spending up to $100) where it took a lot longer for our higher priced items to go.
- Heather and Mykel
Make sure everyone that will be attending your wedding knows about the website.

If you choose to have a honeymoon registry make sure you use word of mouth also. Don't have too many other registries elsewhere, especially if you're looking to use the money for the honeymoon.

- Debbie and Adam
Don't be stressed out about the fees. Most of our guests figured they'd be spending the fee money on wrapping paper on any other gift anyway. Most of our guests used this site because it's fast and easy.

- Jennifer and Eric
Have a lot of different priced gifts so guests have plenty to choose from without feeling pressured to spend more than they are comfortable with. We also took the time to spread the word to our guests about how it worked so that they would feel comfortabl
- Brooke and Tom
Register for fun things. People are more likely to buy "breakfast in bed" or "romantic honeymoon dinner" than to pay to upgrade your room or flight.
- Monica and Robert
Choose more gifts in $50 or $100 incriments rather than large dollar amounts.

- Jennifer and Craig
tell people about it early on... and let them know it's safe and you get the MONEY, not the bottle of wine, etc.
- Alicia and Anthony
Depending on the economic status of your guests, use prices that fit their budgets. It's nice that you can set your own prices. If you want to have lower priced items, just increase the number. People will be 3 or 4 of the same item if they want to spend
- Bethany and Darren
Start early! Include your registry information with your 1st announcement.
- Susan and Mark
Definetly print out the pre designed announcement cards to include in the save the date or invitation.

List more than you may actually do. People like to see variety. Some people may not pay for a massage, but would be excited to cover a plane ticket or jet ski excursion.
- Kimberly and Reginald
Register for as much as you can. You never know what people would be interested in buying for you.
- Christie and Aaron
Make the honeymoon registry your primary place for gift purchases but also register at one actual store for those guests who are not online-savy or fearful of making an online purchase.
- Crysta and Corey
Keep the registry just as it is, I have nothing to add.
- Gracie and Carlos
Just do it! It different, but definitely worth it, especially if you already have a home set-up together...have a honeymoon shower instead of a household shower.

NOTHING, I LOVED THE WEB-SITE AND WILL RECOMMEND IT TO MANY MORE BRIDES.

- Mary and Chris
Take full advantage of this registry!!! You'll be happy you did.

Sign up for everything possible! It seemed to us that people liked to purchase something that was memorable rather than just give a "trip contribution". We loved that we could discreetly ask for money to go toward our honeymoon, offering our friends and family choices other than dishes or photo albums.
- Barry and Roxanne Nations
Use it, as it's a wonderful way to offset the costs for a honeymoon that you deserve! Our tip would be to do a good mix of relaxing items and excursions...don't stress.
- Drew Aija
The registry gave us some great ideas, and the people that bought from it were very excited to make our honeymoon fun. Our tip is to find out how much specific trips are so you ask for the right amount. If your not sure, ask for a little more than you might think. Its better to have extra.
- Adria McLaughlin - Halseth
We loved this idea! We already had 2 households, and so we just really wanted to go on our honeymoon, this was a great way to help us make sure we did get to go on one. Make sure you put a lot of things up for your guests to choose from.
- Tara and Jon Kaut
Try to put things that are trip specific, even if you are not sure you will use the item. We put down scooter rental and they were quickly purchased. This is a great site, great customer service, we had a great response. The registry was easy to use, most of our guests had no problems, and it was fun getting the e-cards!
- Kathy Padilla
My tip is use the registry and stay as long as possible! The registry allowed us the freedom to use the money as we see fit, but made it attractive to our guests. Do it - it's great!
- Loren Fields
Our tip is to make sure and tell people where you are registered. Our guests appreciated knowing exactly what we wanted and not having to guess (then have us end up with something we didn't want!). Along with the cards, we made sure our Best Man, Matron of Honor, and parents knew what to tell everyone.
- Courtney and Jess Martinez
Use the "Create Your Own" section. Its really easy and allows you to make your registry list even that much more personal.
- Deborah Waterman
Be creative on your registry and get your guests involved. It's fun and easy!
