Honeymoon Registry

Jessica, there's a lot wrong with asking for your guests to pay for your honeymoon before they even get a wedding invitation. No rational person, planning a wedding or not, should find this appropriate.

Whew! Awesome super-sleuthing skills whit! OP should really quote that then, because this, in combination with what she's posted about, seems very off-putting.

OP--You're asking your guests to give you cash as a solicited gift for an event that they havent even been invited to yet.  That is beyond rude.  These ladies are simply trying to tell you that.

Secondly--"honeymoon registries" are tacky.

However, good luck with your honeymoon planning.  I do not think anyone on this board was rude.  AND the advice you received was insightful.  Please pay attention to it in order to avoid embarrassing yourself.

Personally I am not opposed to honeymoon registries in THEORY, however, as they exist right now it is basically just a bank account that you are asking people to put money in.

Would you mail out Deposit envelopes for your checking account, so that people could give you money that way? This is very similar.

Or how about this example: I know my Dad is going to send me $100 in a card on my b-day, since he does it every year. Do you think next year, I should send him a Deposit envelope the week before my birthday? NO, that would be rude, because although I know he is going to give me a gift ($), to expect it or request it in some certain form, is rude.

Registry information is never sent from the Bride and Groom to the guests. This is no exception.

Noooooooooooo!  I also hate HM registries.  I refuse to use them and will just get the couple I gift that I select.  I try to put effort into it, but who knows...  they may like it, they may not!
