Is it tacky...

OliveJuice4Ever

...to add a "honeymoon" tab to your wedding website? Nothing too much - just a simple photo with a sentence about where the couple will be traveling for their honeymoon. Didn't know if this would come off as a "fun fact" or just, well, tacky. Thoughts?

I've never actually seen this done but I think it could be kind of cute. I've had a lot of people ask me where we're going, so they're clearly interested!

As long as your not indicating a honeymoon registry by listing your honeymoon I think it's fine.  I had a friend who was going to Disney for her honeymoon and since I was familiar with Disney I called one of the restaurants in the Pleasure Island section of the park and had them mail me a gift card to give as a gift to the couple (not part of any sort of honeymoon registry just something I thought would be a good gift idea especially since I was familiair with the area).  They loved it and were so excited someone gave them something they could use on their trip.

As long as you're not asking for funding for said honeymoon then I don't see the big deal.

I don't know what the Etiquette Police will say, but I think that it would be nifty. If it's a fairly well-known place, you could have people say, "Oh! I know a great XYZ there," and give you travel tips or even people who are REALLY detective-y might get you a gift to a restaurant there or something to do there. I know that I found this amazing hole-in-the-wall beach in Bermuda, and any time someone mentions that they're going to Bermuda, I mention it to them. Don't know to mention it if I don't know they're going, ykwim?

Depending on where your wedding is, you could be a little geeky and dress up in honeymoon-related clothes and take a photo for your page. For example, going to Disney = deck yourself and FI out in as much over-the-top Disney stuff as you can find, make a quickie sign saying MICKEY OR BUST or something like that, and take a fun picture. Replace it with some nice kosher honeymoon photos after-the-fact.

Actually, I might have to steal my own idea...

Your winky face does not make this statement cute.  There are no police here, just women and men who care about not being rude to their friends and family.

OP - As others have said, as long as you aren't asking for anything HM related and are just putting it up there so people know, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I've seen it done a lot, and we have one. We're going to Honolulu, and the page just has a picture of a beach and one sentence that says "Aloha! The newlyweds will be honeymooning in Honolulu, Hawaii." And that's it.

Side note: I have seen people post when they are leaving (like, exact times and everything)and when they're coming back. Unless you have a password protected site, I'd leave that off.

Please tell me this is sarcasm and you just forgot the font. Please! You don't actually think that's funny do you? FYI - It's not.

Not tacky, its just an FYI for people

michellesean

I dont think it;s tacky.  We have one on our site.  It says

The romance never ends and Michelle and Sean will be strolling along the Siene as they honeymoon in the most romantic city in the world, Paris!

mamahappy

I think it's totally fine as long as it is in NO way pandering for gifts/cash.  I personally love knowing those sort of details about the happy couple.

OliveJuice4Ever

Awesome. Thank you ladies for the input!!

PS: We are definitely not asking for $ or associating it with a registry. It's just being used for fun details.

We have it on our wedding website, and everyone's had a pretty positive response to it.  I think the fact that some people would think it's tacky shows the lack of enthusaism for two people celebrating their marriage with an old tradition...a HONEYMOON...there is nothing secretive about this, nor is it something to be ashamed or touchy about.  As far as having the honeymoon registry, I don't find that tacky either...it has become the norm lately...a lot of our friends opted for one of these rather than a regular registry since they lived together for a while and already had enough stuff for the home,etc....

Def not!  We're doing a honeymoon registry.  we've lived together for several years and have all the pots and pans we could ever need.  People want to spend money on things you'll use, not return.  And if they can make your honeymoon a little extra special by paying for a night's dinner in Paris... great!
