In Response to Re: Donate to Honeymoon?:
"Etiquette" is changing all the time and really depends on your family, so don't listen to the cries of "inappropriate". There are many websites that do honeymoon registries... Honeyfund and Honeymoon Wishes are two that I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this helps.

With very rare exceptions, etiquette doesn't change. Etiquette is based entirely on making others feel comfortable and treating them right. It is never okay to ask your guests for money, which is exactly what the honeymoon fund is doing. Your family/friends might say they don't mind, but that's because they love you and want to be nice. We're internet strangers, so we can tell you flat out that it's a bad idea and is rude to your guests.
Honestly, I don't get the appeal of the honeymoon registry anyways. To me, the big ticket items for the honeymoon are the hotels, airfare, ground transportation and food. Guests can't buy these items, so if you have the money to pay for all of these big items, then you're honeymoon is pretty much covered and you can either pay for your own horseback riding excursion or just not do one. To me, it's like saying that you really need the money to buy a house, so you're hoping someone will chip in and buy you a doorknob. It's just a drop in the bucket.
Just let people purchase an item or give you cash at their own discretion.
