Honeymoon registries are insanely tacky

Someone has explained this to you, right?

If you have one, you should die of shame.

HTH!

I'm so sorry, it is very obvious to me that someone on our board has forced you to purchase something for their registry and it was beyond your control....

seriously, go post this nonsense on another board.

I actually just made one...and I don't care to admit it! I'm not ashamed. If you don't want to buy me cocktails on the beach in Mexico, buy me another toaster. Whatever.

Wow, this post is rude and uneducated. Maybe at one time honeymoon registries were new, different, and not widely accepted. However, now honeymoon registries are on par with Macy's, Create & Barrel, etc.

No guest is obligated to give a gift from a registry, so nobody is FORCED. And if the couple selects a non-traditional registry (such as a honeymoon registry or a charity registry) that is THEIR CHOICE. A non-traditional registry allow the couple to personalize their wedding. Maybe you never knew your friend/cousin/co-worker wanted to go parasailing, but it's on their registry. What a great conversation starter!

But you don't have to listen to me. However, I think we can all agree that the Emily Post Institute is a Reliable source for etiquette: Etiquette for Alternative Registries

In case you haven't guessed, we have a honeymoon registry. And, we've recieved very good feedback from our guests. Most of them are excited to learn more about the adventure we have planed for our honeymoon.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

But your grandmothers and the family members with money are dying of embarassment, FYI.

I have to say, that we have a honeymoon registery!!  We are not forcing anyone to give us anything.  They have that choice.  I am not ashamed or embarrassed by any means.   I have had my bridal shower and received my honeymoon gifts.  I have received amazing feedback from all of my guests, EVEN MY GRANDMOTHER!!! She told me, "thank you for letting me know exactly what you wanted!!"  So please take your rude comments else where.

What's the difference between a regular registry and a honeymoon registry?? I think both are acceptable, although I wouldn't have just a honeymoon regitry.

Go elsewhere with your negativity. A wedding is supposed to be about the bride & groom & their new life. Class is how you act as a person not about registeries.

A regular registry is for gifts that that might (this is the fantasy at least) make you think of them when you use it.  A honeymoon registry is a creative way of saying, "give me money."  If people want to give you money, they'll do that.  Then you can use it to pay for your honeymoon.
